Goodbye SOPA/PIPA...hello ACTA!?

WTF is SOPA ? aka The American Government trying to ruin the internet

A pretty good introduction on what this issue is about for those who are still confused

An Open Letter From Internet Engineers to the U.S. Congress

Senators, Congressmen, we believe the Internet is too important and too valuable to be endangered in this way, and implore you to put these bills aside.

And most of the people that signed that have been developing the standards for the internet.

Where's the Anonymous hacker group when you need them?

The direct IP address of HAF: 208.109.138.56

If SOPA manages to pass, and if some malicious or stupid person accuses HAF of copyright infringement and has us blocked, just put 208.109.138.56 in your browser's URL field and you will be taken to the site.

I know my favorite site has been urging it's members to save the sever IP domains. Apparently you can easily bypass all the governments bullshit by simply putting the IP of the site in the browser. I'm not very tech savvy, if you couldn't already tell.

Ok, well I should have skimmed all the comments since Will already said it better.

Yup, those pesky corporations and numbnut politicians are still at it....*sigh* This time with a thing called "ACTA" that is more directly against any and all copyright uses in any form or manner. Copyrighted music in the background in a videoyou posted on YouTube? Off with your interent connection!

...seriously, not only are you facing the possible fines and/or jail, they might cut your interenet connection for sharing a logo....

And now I think you can understand why I'm a tiny bit upset with this bullshit...
