Backstab system?  

[Haruhi000777]

Vixen: *shrugs* I dunno.

Haji: Huh?  

[Haruhi000777]

How many of you guys know about the SOPA bill they're trying to pass?  

[Mana_ecl Zetsuya]

We all know, Ruhi. xD
I've called, websites are going to shut down, and all sorts of stuff.  

[Haruhi000777]

When did everyone know? I only just now knew. XP

So we're all gonna black out tomorrow?  

[astrasinthewild]

WHAT?! What is this nonsense?!
Shutting down?!  

[Haruhi000777]

Vixen: Read up on SOPA and stuff.

SOPA? Which was pushed back a year, the last I knew about it.
Unless there's even more "controversy" going about in the briefings, that is.

 

[Mana_ecl Zetsuya]

They haven't really said whether or not they are ceasing their black outs of operation,  

[Haruhi000777]

Hiya Wiggles. XP

I'm reading up on SOPA. It worries me. XP  

[astrasinthewild]

What the ferp? I don't understand any of that.


Someone gimme the dummies version of SOPA >>  

[Shinsua]

*Deep sigh*
I think I'm gonna get going in a bit. If anyone needs anything, speak now or forever hold your peace.

 

[Haruhi000777]

Vixen: Well, I can try... basically, the point of the bill is to protect the copy right of things. Yet it seems so open ended that even uploading or linking something copy righted on a website could be seen as a crime to be dealt with.

It'll be like a major censorship of the internet. Where they would monitor websites to see what was going on, sort of like an online police force or something.

I also believe it will ask to link domain names with IP addresses to get rid of anonymity on the internet. There's that and other problems with security on the network.

Not to mention that when a copyright law for the internet is passed and stuff, this will mostly likely happen without people being aware of it.

That's the gist of what I got.

Wiggles: Aww, you don't wanna stay?  

[astrasinthewild]

Nnngh....how.....insane. I don't get it but I dislike that something like that is being passed.
Though...I think what I dislike most is that something like that is required...  

[Shinsua]

Sorries. I'm a bit too shaky and just... weird feeling. First day of college and I was an awful be nervous... I might be back later, but I'm gonna take some time to myself, first...
Umm... but, how was your day?
