Re: Sopa/pipa

I think it's important to suggest solutions to the problems of internet abuse and misuse. Governments will often implement solutions that could be dangerous to the citizens freedom, if that power was used inappropriately. The public can do an excellent job 'policing' things like the internet themselves, IF they have the tools available to them. I would like to see Internet Service Providers and email providers like Google, and Yahoo, provide ways to report misuse and abuse in a very easy way, and make the reports public. So if 1000 people complained about spam from a certain email address, it would be publicly available information, and could be used as proof to investigate.
I don't want censorship, but I don't want SPAM either. I think the solution is to make it very easy to report misuse and abuse. Of course, it's already possible to report abuse, but I have serious doubts about how serious it's taken or what is actually done.
Maybe the issue is tracking the source down. If that's the problem, then make it easier to track the source down.

Re: Sopa/pipa

DOJ shuts down Megaupload website in New Zealand.....without SOPA law.

So after a very long time trying to convince it's citizens yet again that the world is a bad place and America needs more and more power to deal with it...... it does whatever it wants anyway!

Shooting yourself in the foot while giving a big fat one finger salute to the world.
