This might make for an interesting topic

personally . . . i don't care either way.  i live without television, and i'm sure i could live without the internet.  it really is just a toy.  a toy for people who cannot grow up.  like peter pan.  i just found it fucking stupid that google would put a black band across their name as if that is some sort of protest.  personally i couldn't give a shit about this particular protest or the internet or what congress does to people.  people don't have the ability to stop shit in this country, and what google did is just another snap shot of the truth.  i think i'll have a wonderful beer that i just bought, and play batman on the xbox.  that is what i care about right now.

Please get rid of your internet connection! It would be great for humanity.

All the ruckus raised over this has not been for nothing.  Co-authors of both of these bills had their names taken off of them today.

Didn't this happen because of the ruckus raised today?  Seems it wasn't really "for nothing" IMO, but I could be wrong.

can't speak for chaz, but maybe that's what he was saying in a double negative kind of way?

Thank you rhett...I don't talk so good sometimes.

Yes.  What I meant is that all the online activism is paying off...supporters of these bills are jumping ship left and right.

Today's Update:

Megaupload, a very popular file uploading/downloading server, was taken down by the Feds today.

The hacktivist group known as "Anonymous" retaliated by taking down the websites for the Department of Justice, RIAA, Universal Music Group, MPAA, and the White House.

You know, that, in part, might explain why it took me a ridiculous amount of time today to download a new album a band sent me to play on my radio station. All totally legitimate, sent by a band who completely owns all of their own music; to a radio station to help promote their music that pays those gangsters at some of those letter agencies forced fees for every song aired and for every single listener. Money, that, in turn, is used to keep down small radio stations and webcasters, as well as small time bands trying to get their music out to the public. Also, lots of musicians who share portions of songs back and forth to work on tracks, among other totally legal and completely ethical activities.

Further proving that not all transferred files are pirated. It's stuff like this that makes many of us fight the SOPA and PIPA acts!
