SOPA and GoDaddy

All the SOPA stuff is a mess.

It's funny that the only people who have a problem with this kind of stuff are those who are already rich or those who want to defame good people over some corporate vendetta.

Young budding artists can only hope they get their works some attention and name out there so they can be successful, while those in positions of power abuse it. [ed. note: eric.swd last edited this post 13 years, 10 months ago.]

Watch out the WCIT-12 in Dubai

... starting in a few hours (Dec 3, 2012), a closed-door meeting of the world’s governments is taking place in Dubai, and regulation of the Internet is on the agenda. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is convening a conference from December 3-14 to revise a decades-old treaty, in which only governments have a vote. Some proposals could allow governments to justify the censorship of legitimate speech, or even cut off Internet access in their countries.
