SOPA, PIPA, Megaupload, and Other Things That Sound Like Band Names.

OK, let's see where we are in the whirlwind area of internet rights, laws, actions, and more. PIPA and SOPA are shelved – for now. There's a push for the OPEN Act which has some intriguing ideas on dealing with … Continue reading →

PIPA isn’t doing that well either

Posted on January 18, 2012 by Steven Savage

13 Senators opposed to PIPA.  Also note the blame is starting to fly as people cover their backsides. That's something I didn't think of.  I expect SOPA and PIPA to die off, to return later in several dumb bills.  But … Continue reading →

SOPA Update

The blackout is well under way, and it is already kind of creepy (I never realized how much I use Wikipedia).  Also there's more analysis out there.  So a quick roundup you may like: The brilliant author of XKCD has … Continue reading →

Yeah, About SOPA . . .

It'll be back apparently in February. Also the MPAA and Lamar Smith are both clueless and hypocritical. Actually even with SOPA back, every delay makes it easier to kill since the diminishing pro-SOPA/PIPA forces are not sympathetic.  But it looks … Continue reading →

SOPA Noteably Less Stupid

Posted on January 14, 2012 by Steven Savage

The bizarre SOPA DNS-blocking measures have apparently been pulled as the bill slowly dies the death of a thousand cuts.  PIPA also looks to be on hold. Now, I'm all for this but I'd prefer these bills die and start … Continue reading →

Nintendo and Sony Give Up on SOPA

Read about it here. What I'm wondering about with the bill is: How much support was there really?  I mean this thing (and PIPA) were pretty bad. How much support that was really there happened because somebody in legal said … Continue reading →

Yes, apparently very big names in internet technology are talking about doing just that. Imagine what it'd mean if for a day, a week, or more when people went to Google they got a big, obvious warning that their was … Continue reading →

Looks like SOPA is not going to the House, hearings to resume later.  Techeme, as usual, has a roundup, the latest being here. This is good news as far as I'm concerned – SOPA/PIPA are hideous, and the longer debate … Continue reading →
