SOPA FAQ |
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. |

What is SOPA? |
SOPA, or Stop Online Piracy Act is what lobbyists from the entertainment industry claim is intended to block foreign sites that specialize in illegal music and movie downloads, or counterfeit goods. However, a quick readthrough of the bill, has made it clear that this legislation in-the- making is nothing more than a carpet-bomb effort to silence the final bastion of civil liberty and freedom of speech; i.e. the internet. SOPA is in fact nothing new and is just the most recent incarnation in a long line of failed censorship bills concerning the Internet. The oldest in fact was the Communications Decency Act or CDA of 1996 which in turned was shot down by the Blue Ribbon Campaign for free speech. It is your job to ensure that this bill fails as well. The man who cooked up this nightmare piece of legislature is one Lamar (Not related to that declawed headcrab from Half-Life 2) Smith. His office address is located in |

quick readthrough of the bill |
Why is this such a big issue? |
SOPA claims to only target illegal download sites and businesses that peddle counterfeit goods. However, as it is quite vague on what we should consider as 'piracy'. to the point it practically stamps out the term 'fair use' from existence. This article explains the process for how companies will use SOPA to circumvent the traditional DMCA process. If your website has even one piece of infringing material (such as an unlicensed picture on a user page), this material could be used as an excuse to: 1) Block your domain name, essentially shutting off your site to the US. 2) Block your advertisers and payment processors. 3) Block your search engine listings. Yes, in case you were wondering; this allows even unscrupulous criminals to clamp down on free speech. All it would take for your site to be blocked off at the DNS level (if your site is hosted in the US), would be a single complaint that you have no right to appeal against. And yes, DNS blocking is the same method used by repressive regimes such as Iran and Syria to silence the opposition. Simply put, the big companies are tired of those pesky laws that help protect innovation, economic growth, and creativity rather than outdated business models. |
This article explains |
What do I stand to lose? |
A lot, if the bill passes. Even big names like Google agree. Video streaming, for example would become akin to taking mysterious packages from strangers; as anyone could file a bogus complaint and the site itself would be DNS blocked, without much ado. What happened to Wikileaks via voluntary censorship will now be systematized and streamlined to the guidelines of 'infringing on anyones rights' (which would be up to the Entertainment Industry, in America, to decide) – and enforced with the threat of liquidation. Secondly, the bill is an excuse to monopolize innovation to a few high-echelon companies, while talented startup companies both American and foreign are labeled as pirates and counterfeiters, and denied funding and audience. Third, if it passes, other nations will most likely follow suit.The increased funds that invariably have to be spent to monitor and moderate content will translate to higher uptime fees, and discourage the growth of the internet, and as ISPs are forced to spend more, the cost of internet service will also rise on a global scale. |

This bill allows large production labels to unfairly persecute artists. Artists have personal sites that they update with links to their personal Youtube channels where they stick up their videos and what not. If an artist has a falling out with a label the label could effectively get Youtube and the personal website shut down under SOPA by saying the artist doesn't have the right to be uploading and linking to material they own. It could take ownership of a song that the artist themselves wrote away from them if the label doesn't like their actions or things they're saying. More troubling; there's no real cost estimates for SOPA either. It's as though Lamar Smith can't be arsed to work up the numbers if he wants to have some kind of global presence to combat this problem. At least the Senate can come up with some kind of estimates for the next five years for Protect IP. They're saying that's going to cost the taxpayers an estimated 48 million over the next five years if that thing passes. That's at least 9.6 million dollars taxed upon people per year, to uphold corporate monopoly. The real figures will probably be higher - money that could have been spent on reducing the burden on the American economy is being used as cigar paper for the big name companies. You know what that's called? Daylight robbery. Financial terrorism. |

Here are some companies that have criticized SOPA. Google. Electronic Frontier Foundation. Yahoo! Facebook. Paypal. HostGator. ESET Disqus Newgrounds. |
How can I help? |
Do what those companies that refuse to agree with SOPA do. Write to Lamar, and the Judiciary and your Senate representatives. Sure, they can get a little hard to track down, but it's worth it. And don't forget the Supreme Court. They shot down the previous attempt at online censorship after declaring the bill as unconstitutional. Write to them too. Spread the word, get people talking - it's not illegal to inform people.... yet. Start phasing out products and services from companies that support SOPA. Work up to a complete boycott on their products. If you own a website or online business based in the US, on a domain host that supports SOPA, consider switching. This is a powerful action that sends a clear message to the hosting people. Above all - remember; you are the people. Don't turn America into North Korea or Iran or some shitty dictatorship. |
I'm not an American citizen. How can I help? |
You're lucky. Real lucky. ... Yeah, you can help. Write to your lawmakers and legislators to consider refusing SOPA-friendly laws. And while you're at it, you can start boycotting the products from companies that support SOPA. An international boycott would seriously make them reconsider. Help activists from the US set up shop with site hosting from different countries. Spread awareness and inform people of the truth of SOPA and other similar, and equally dangerous legislations. |
Q: Besides SOPA, is there any other legislation we should be worried about? A: Yeah. ProtectIP appears to be another front for this nonsense. You know what to do. Q: How do I find contact information for my representatives? A: They usually have it on their website. Look closely - it may be hidden. Q: Any hints on writing letters? I'm new to this. A: Be polite. Explain why you are against SOPA, and why your recipent should be. Q: You're a pirate! A: Who you callin' a pirate, ya lily-liver'd landlubber of a bilge rat!? Q: What's the status of SOPA and PIP now? A: People have taken notice. Keep up the pressure. The bad guys'll give up soon. |
Falconer02, and his movie, Minecraft TNA 5. This got my attention on SOPA in the first place. Tom Fulp, for his rather detailed post on NG, and download link to the bill. Electronic Frontier Foundation, for keeping me up to date. Wikpedia's article on SOPA. Ash-Link for music. Done by YomToxic, for NG. Feel free to spread this file around. |

Small company discovers innovative method. |
They are prevented from marketing innovation by older company, that claims that the small company's invention is 'intellectual property". |
It is more likely that the larger company never releases the innovative technology, as it may economically hinder their own products. |
The smaller companies' internet presence, and the ability to do e-commerce is silenced, and the larger company profits from the effort and research of the smaller company. |
