I just added a huge paragraph of "Prove that you actually represent the citizens of this country" to the template. also [huge image] yeah, I was about to post this link up about SOPA being alive and well. http://torrentfreak.com/sopa-is-baaack-120117/ We need to keep on top of it and continue to let people know what's up. Also, looking at the Wiki posts on twitter is a total ... "Wikipedia doesn't want us to use SOAP now? WTF?" lol..... and people asking why it's not working. Are they too retarded to read the information explaining what's going on that is right in front of them on their screen???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm still amazed that the premise of these bills is that by blocking Americans from being able to view "pirated" content, we will apparently buy more movies, music, and whatever else can be sold at inflated prices. News flash, assholes: this country just got ran into the ground for the next century. We're broker than broke. Oh, and Hollywood is still - somehow - breaking box office records every year. Clearly they're the ones that need help. Not to mention that our government is pushing OTHER COUNTRIES to adopt this nonsense, and where money goes, apparently legislation will follow. This is part of the reason why we need the whole world to speak up and nip these bills in the bud. Fuck you MPAA. The RIAA already lost this battle years ago. it's a sad lol that corporations seem to think that by charging more money for the same product, they are somehow going to get their profits back. And the government talks about a free market. By the way, the President of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) is a 30-year senator.

Yeah, I saw a great quote within the last couple days that went something like "When it comes to the budget congress can't make a decision, but when Hollywood starts writing checks to back things like SOPA people from both sides are more than willing to work together to make it happen." They don't give a shit about this country. They only line their pockets by pandering to lobbyists and special interests. edit: found the actual quote: Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian on CNBC: "Why is it that when Republicans and Democrats need to solve the budget and the deficit, there's deadlock, but when Hollywood lobbyists pay them $94 million dollars to write legislation, people from both sides of the aisle line up to co-sponsor it?"

luke viia Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 well, my campus closed today for the weather, so it looks like I'll be raging around the innernets for a while today, signing what can be signed and torrenting books about intellectual property rights.

First of all, it doesn't take more mods to move a thread. It takes only one. Also I didn't do it because personally I thought your thread was hilarious and stupid in an ET-kinda-way. Second of all, there's a difference between internet censorship and throwing away trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ruiagnelo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 There is this famous historian in Portugal who happens to be one of my teachers, and he is very demanding and rigorous in his profession. Somehow he created a few works for us to do throughout the year, which turned out to be a very clever trap, showing how useless it can be to consult wikipedia and similar sources, and showing that it gets so much easier to think for ourselves, resulting in better learning and better results. I have watched for myself how some of my pals have become so dependent on wikipedia and pretty much everything that is able to think for them. it's kind of a depressing conclusion.

Guest Spittal Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hey, Hopping on for the first time in a few months, and was hoping for a more spirited protest on here. Seeing as most of us are content creators, who are informed well enough to know SOPA/PIPA is "knee-jerk" over reaction drawn up with the interests of Hollywood in mind. Anyway, just would like to say, inform who you can, and if you're American I URGE you to contact your local representative. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Helper ET Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 on a final note, id just like to say this. im only human (or am i?), and i can only do so much. im far from perfect and i wish there were more people who are far more intellectual and better spoken than i, that could do this all for me. im what youve got, except the good news is theres a bunch of us on this forum and others, who know exactly whats going on. they just arent speaking up for some reason. give em time, they will as this unfolds. lets see you defend freedom for a population of people who dont want it. its not as easy as it looks and finally, how ironic is it, that my threads attempts to protect our rights were stopped dead in its tracks, on internet censorship day? theres different of types of censorship people, it comes in many forms, look around you. and of course, i look out my front window, to see snow for the first time in 2012 ok. enough about that - i dont want to distract any further the purpose of this thread. this is important - i hope you all eventually come around to realizing how evil this and other bills to come really are stop SOPA! good luck fellow humans!

luke viia Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 For anyone using Firefox, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/desopa/ DNS Evasion about: # DeSopa SECTIONS: ------------------ I. ABOUT II. HOW TO USE III. KNOWN LIMITATIONS IV. HOW IT WORKS V. DISCLAIMER I. ABOUT: --------------- Powerful special interests are attempting to force legislation for tighter control of the Internet, because they believe such legislation will preserve their power. The bill they have sponsored, SOPA, not only has severe consequences for the Internet, it doesn't even achieve their objectives. SOPA, under the innocuous banner "Stop Online Piracy Act" will have the following repercussions: 1) Make organizations, such as Google, Facebook, Digg and Reddit liable to censor user generated content. Censoring billions of records for billions of possible violations is expensive. One of these companies has already stated that it may be forced to shut down as a result of the financial burden caused by SOPA. Other companies may have to scale back the services they offer for free, or otherwise charge for them. 2) Provide well financed trade groups such the MPAA and RIAA with leverage to shape the future of the internet for the benefit of the organizations they represent, by threatening closure of services that they believe are not in their interest. 3) Create a high barrier to entry for start-ups and a rough legal landscape for small businesses. If SOPA was implemented 10 years ago, there is a high probability that we would not have many of the online services we take for granted such as YouTube and Pandora. 4) The probable dissolution of DNS caused by the natural circumvention of blocked sites will result in wide array of security problems, bleeding the digital economy of integrity. The internet creates market efficiencies that forces industries to adapt, thus pushing forward progress for humanity as a whole. Public freedoms should not be curtailed and the Internet, built by the masses, should not be destroyed, so that a powerful few may have a false sense of security that their business models are sustainable without technological evolution. This program is a proof of concept that SOPA will not help prevent piracy. The program, implemented as a Firefox extension, simply contacts offshore domain name resolution services to obtain the IP address for any desired website, and accesses those websites directly via IP. Similar offshore resolution services will eventually maintain their own cache of websites, without blacklisting, in order to meet the demand created by SOPA. If SOPA is implemented, thousands of similar and more innovative programs and services will sprout up to provide access to the websites that people frequent. SOPA is a mistake. It does not even technically help solve the underlying problem, as this software illustrates. What it will do is give undue leverage to predatory organizations, cripple innocent third party websites, severely dampen digital innovation and negatively impact the integrity and security of the Internet. Please bring this to the attention of congressmen responsible for voting on SOPA. SOPA will not technically achieve its stated objectives. Anyone voting in favor of it is morally responsible for destroying the freedoms, innovation, hard work and aspirations of many. II. HOW TO USE: --------------------------- - Enable the Status/Add-on bar if it is not enabled (View->Toolbars->Add-on bar) - Click on the light blue DeSopa button in the Status/Add-on bar, at the bottom of the browser window, to access websites by IP. - Click the green DeSopa button to switch back to DNS resolution. III. KNOWN LIMITATIONS: --------------------------------------- - Can only resolve tabs one at a time. - First time resolution is a bit slow because three services are checked serially and compared. This may be done in parallel in the future, or a trusted single source may be used. IV. HOW IT WORKS: --------------------------------- When turned on, DeSopa intercepts URLs, sends the base URL to three offshore DNS services via HTTP, makes a best effort to check that two of them are equivalent, caches the IP for the browser session, redirects to the equivalent URL using the IP, and substitutes out the domain name in the source code with the IP address for future requests. V. DISCLAIMER: ------------------------ DESOPA IS MEANT TO BE A PROOF OF CONCEPT TO SHOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERE FLAWS IN SOPA, AND THAT LEGISLATION OF SOPA WILL RESULT IN VARIOUS TECHNICAL PROBLEMS AND WORKAROUNDS THAT WRECK HAVOC ON THE INTERNET. DESOPA RESOLVES IP ADDRESSES BY CONSULTING OFFSHORE SERVERS FOR WHICH DESOPA AND ITS AUTHOR HAVE NO CONTROL. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED NOT TO USE DESOPA WHILE ENTERING ANY PRIVATE OR PERSONAL INFORMATION, UNLESS YOU VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE IP ADDRESS YOU ARE CONTACTING YOURSELF. YOU ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE OR MISUSE OF THIS SOFTWARE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
