They are censoring the internet (PROTECT IP ACT)!!!!!!! Help
    #14584630 - 06/09/11 10:13 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

We have got to do something about the PROTECT IP ACT, it is in direct violation of the constitutional rights. If they pass the bill, we no longer have freedom of speech on the internet.

here is a pdf of the bill
PROTECT IP ACT

Please read it. Voice your opinion and make it heard by all

I will not stand for this bullshit!!!!

Ok basically what i got out of the document and others that i have read about it, any domain under us jurisdiction will not be able to have material that explains or sells the means to do something illegal, whether it be silly spores, bongs, anarchists cookbook, blah blah blah. and some interpret the document to say it is going to take jurisdiction of international domains. FUCK....... also Egypt has passed laws to block all international websites(if your in Egypt you can only access Egyptian websites, proxies are being blocked and tor nodes too).

If the constitution doesn't apply, then as far as I'm concerned, neither do the rest of the laws. Fuck the government.

I don't know, internet censorship is treading on thin ice especially when it comes to intellectual property laws, but look at China. There is certain things that are absolutely censored on their servers. Mostly to do with Tibet and other human rights violations.

Where are you getting that from. I have not read the entire bill but the summery I have seen only relates to "Copyright infringement and the sale of counterfeit goods".


I mean they would have to block amazon and just about any online book store also. Pretty sure they sell some books where you can learn to do illegal things.

On a side note Google is against it.

I don't know.
The government and big business.
Making sites disappear via DNS and other means.

Why you ask me? I am still looking into this.

I don't think this thing will pass, Sen. Ron Wyden put a hold on it. Both the NY and LA times are against it. It's just going to get bad press everywhere especially online.

Oh well that was fun, back to videos of kittens and porn.

I want to see where that is in the bill. Not what someone basically got out of it.

The summery of the PROTECT IP Act
Quote:

The PROTECT IP Act
Copyright infringement and the sale of counterfeit goods are reported to cost American creatorsand producers billions of dollars and to result in hundreds of thousands in lost jobs annually.This pervasive problem has assumed an especially threatening form on the Internet. Consumersare increasingly lured to well-designed websites that are devoted almost exclusively tounauthorized downloads and streaming of copyrighted content or sale of counterfeit goods.

These rogue Internet sites are often outside the reach of U.S. law enforcement because they areforeign-owned and operated, or reside at domain names that are not registered through a U.S.-based registry or registrar. The illegal products offered at these websites are wide-ranging, fromthe latest movie or music hits to pharmaceuticals and consumer products.

They'd still be blocked, even offshore.  But as Pris pointed out, a proxy could get around the block.

I'm also interested in torrents though.  I don't think I can get my torrent program to connect via a proxy.  But I'm sure they'll probably add that ability if this passes, right?

Hopefully they wouldn't be prosecuted in that case, though. No matter, they've already drafted bills to ban 2C's and I bet subbed tryptamines will follow not long after.

Though I'll miss the 2C's, something new will always be available.  I'm more worried about completely losing access to the websites.

Download peerblock. Block http and you can see all the i.p's that are monitoring your whereabouts or something such,all the while keeping you hidden.

That and tor is a pretty good combo I'd imagine.

i think it's the companies job to keep everything secret i mean they have contracts and they can hire the technology if something gets out

i dont see how suing people for clicking the wrong link or sharing information should be THAT prosecutable

no one is getting sued for the shit, not even the site owners, at least not
by the government and if the companies keep shit secret then we'll be in the
stone age because that new car they've built cant be released because it's a
secret, there will be no more updated in computer technology or software
because it's gotta be kept a secret, no new movies, I mean it's not as if the
new ones arent just recycled old ones but still... you get the point

Yes more government. We need more government because they've proven themselves to be pure hearted defenders of the people.

How about less legislation protecting corporate interests and more legislation facilitating job production. Plz and TY.

I just read the whole bill. It effects piracy and overseas pill mills. It only has jurisdiction in the US. It penalizes search engines and sites linking to piracy sites and pill mills.

There is just 1 loop hole that they forgot about. There is nothing stopping anyone from setting up a server in china and starting their own search engine for pirated products and pill mills. All this bill effectively does is make anyone engaged in these activities have to move their operations overseas and no one will even miss a beet.

Nice try though uncle Sam.

You are wrong.  The DEA thinks they have jurisdiction to attack servers anywhere in the world.  The reason xxxxxxxx.com shut down was because of continual pressure/DOS attacks by the DEA. 

Out government is completely out of control.  The federal government thinks they have jurisdiction over everyone anywhere in the world.  This is apparent with the plethora of illegal wars we are in.  Obama is JUST as fucked up a globalist/imperialist type dictator as Bush was.

I agree completely, I'm all for repealing many laws, let the corporations go
after those pirating their shit, if you use p2p shit and get busted by the
RIAA/MPIAA then more power to them at raping you for everything but the
government certainly doesnt need to be involved any further than registering
trademarks, trade names, copyrights and patents

seems a little conspiratorial to me, of which they simply could have gotten
better hardware, switched hosting, refused payment to their hosting until the
problem is fixed, filed suit against the DEA, etc...

of course it couldnt be because of the many reports of people being scammed

I don't believe it was a scam site, I used it many, many times--with top results.  I believe there is a lot of covert warfare by the dea, posting false scam reports, carrying out DOS attacks, etc, but the main reason that site shut down--and this is speculation--is that the US Government pressured the government of the other country to do something about it.

peerblock definetley helps but it only blocks 60-70% of all the ips that it needs to keep you safe. that is if you use the original blocklist that comes with it, some premiums are better but none cover all ips

By the way, for those of you who think this is only for copyright infringement, I believe that is incorrect. I have studied this document with a few others, and we believe infringement to be used in a context that means breaking any law, or providing anything whether it be idea or a physical object that can be used in a way to break the law. I do not believe this bill will be passed!

Agreed. For the most part I purchase all media I consume. Every-once in a while i'll torrent something especially if it gets leaked before the offical release date. Even though I am not depriving anyone of physical property it is still theft. Government should leave this alone and have the companies file suit if they choose to do so.

I don't think it will pass either.

But can you post the parts that make you and others that have studied it beleive it to be more than just a copyright infringement bill.

That's all I asked before.

That would be nice if someone could post that info. As far as I can tell it just looks like an expansion of what the DOJ did last year in seazing domain's.

well here is one part that led us to believe this. although we were taking it in as a whole document not just parts

1 SEC. 3. ENHANCING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ROGUE
2 WEBSITES OPERATED AND REGISTERED
3 OVERSEAS.
4 (a) COMMENCEMENT OF AN ACTION.—
5 (1) IN PERSONAM.—The Attorney General may
6 commence an in personam action against—
7 (A) a registrant of a nondomestic domain
8 name used by an Internet site dedicated to in-
9 fringing activities; or
10 (B) an owner or operator of an Internet
11 site dedicated to infringing activities accessed
12 through a nondomestic domain name.
13 (2) IN REM.—If through due diligence the At-
14 torney General is unable to find a person described
15 in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of paragraph (1), or no
16 such person found has an address within a judicial
17 district of the United States, the Attorney General
18 may commence an in rem action against a non-
19 domestic domain name used by an Internet site dedi-
20 cated to infringing activities.



One of the reasons I thought, was because the definition of infringement in law is not always having to do with copyright. I have read over several cases from personal things, that mention infringement where no copyright has been infringed upon.

I think the real point here is that once/if this is passed that its only a matter of time before the cencorship becomes tighter and tighter.

The internet should be a no mans land where no one has the rightt to make restrictions. Thats not to say i agree with or advecate all the content it contains but its the princible of the matter.

I skimmed the whole thing, and from what I can gather, the purpose of this is to protect the assets of big pharma, more than anything.

Near the end it specifically mentions websites selling controlled or non-controlled prescription medications, as being "infringing" websites.
