I've been away for quite a while, this is due to a number of reasons but I have returned to put my views across like I have on my web-site about the SOPA and PIPA bills that while is a US Congress affair it effects the entire world.
I would first like to post some links to the news articles I have read.
Megaupload file-sharing site shut down -
[link]US Threatened To Blacklist Spain For Not Implementing Site Blocking Law -
[link]Sopa and Pipa bills postponed in US Congress -
[link]Viewpoints: Anti-piracy efforts divide web users -
[link]Now I could ramble about this all day but I won't.
This entire proposal is short-sighted, a narrow point of view and just another of example of corruption at the highest levels were politicians are serving those greedy corporations rather than the people they legally should be serving, the people who voted them in to serve them as at the end of the day the government serves the people and shouldn't be serving the money hungry corporations like the industries supporting this bill.
The entire Megaupload incident was in my view not about piracy at all, the people arrest for one weren't US citizens, nor was the server for the site on US soil but in Hong Kong. They were arrested on circumstantial evidence that was twisted to make the true victims to be the bad guys. If the US can do this without the bill, think what it could do with the bill in place. The New Zealand government also are just as bad, for not protecting their residents, just another pawn who needs to develop a backbone and tell the US government where to go.
The Megaupload incident was were it started to get bad, but it only got worse when the US made threats to the Spain government if they did not implement a site blocking law. This was when I finally realized and was absolutely certain that this was no longer about piracy, that is just a smoke screen. The true issue here is about the US government, they wish for control to be able to arrest and close down any site they don't approve of. It was even stated by some that pictures and free produced modifications for games are included in what this bill is all about. I have started to wonder why our forefathers bothered to fighter in WW2, as the US government has become Hitler of the 21st century. Instead of taking up arms, they are doing it though legislation and laws with the internet as the new battleground.
This bill I feel is just another step the US government is trying to take control of first it's people and then the world. All governments around the world need to stand up to the US, cancel their extradition treaties, close their boarders if the US tries to continue this and stop all exports. Yes it was screw up the economy of the world, but the US government needs to be put down a peg or two, they need to see while they may be the most powerful nation in the world, the majority of their everyday living such as food comes from overseas and they are powerless against the rest of the world.
I feel this is the end of the world that the Mayans foreseen and foretold about.
P.S: Yes the bill has been suspended but not cancelled, this conflict is not over.
P.S.S: I plan for another few days to remain dark here on DA. I will be back after which I will try and continue normal operations.
