http://www.youhavedownloaded.com/ is a site where you can see what you or your neighbor has downloaded.
Looking forward to the youhavewhipedyourasswith .com site and the youhadfordinner.com site The you:have_been_unfathfull_with.com site probably already exists.
Is everybody brain dead these days? Comfortably numb? The acceptance of this as "normal" is truly scary - and dangerous.
This is a violation of privacy and should be punishable.
Instead the legislators are clapping their hands and saying good idea :idea:

Enough to make me depressed.
The film and music industry will probably sponsor these sites, making it a joke to claim a court order for getting the names behind the IP.
They would only be "helping" out in structuring what is already out there.
So you better make sure that you do not add to it.....

Not to mention...

Yes there is a clear tendency on area after area. The sum of it all is a total control that would make Stalin's mouth water. The important part here is that the beneficiaries see themselves as the moral party that can handle all the information......
But Kim Jong un

of North Korea will claim exactly the same moral high-ground, so the key is not to hand over the control to the selected few.

The Internet's most popular destinations, including eBay, Google, Facebook, and Twitter seem to view Hollywood-backed copyright legislation as an existential threat.

It was Google co-founder Sergey Brin who warned that the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act "would put us on a par with the most oppressive nations in the world." Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, Twitter co-founders Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman argue that the bills give the Feds unacceptable "power to censor the Web."

But these companies have yet to roll out the heavy artillery.

When the home pages of Google.com, Amazon.com, Facebook.com, and their Internet allies simultaneously turn black with anti-censorship warnings that ask users to contact politicians about a vote in the U.S. Congress the next day on SOPA, you'll know they're finally serious.

From SOPA opponents may go nuclear and other 2012 predictions

How else could they censor it if they weren't busting the hell out of our privacy doing it.

The Anti Piracy campaign is nothing more than a blank warrant to spy in your home/computer.

Imagine an Agent (of any kind) bust in your door with the excuse of probable cause that you have pirated media....

Scary.... :evil:

Anonymous wrote:Two U.S. congressmen have accused Facebook of evading questions about whether it tracks users in order to deliver targeted ads. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, and Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, said the social networking giant failed to adequately answer questions raised by a patent application that suggests Facebook could be tracking users on other websites. The duo previously asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate accusations that Facebook tracks its users even after they log out of the social network, an issue the company says it has since fixed."

I got a good one...

Here are some stuff to think about...

H.R. 3166 Enemy Expatriation Act

Once you get kicked out of the USA where do you go and/or no USA citizenship means no rights

PROTECT IP Act

B.O.H.I.C.A..!

I bet they all would be against it if North Korea issued all those acts. Politicians all over the world will be all for it though. They have had a tendency to loose power over internet activities - so it is safer to control it,
What exactly does supporting hostilities against the US mean? Who will be defining it? It will not be OK if it is used for shutting up the free press like Wikipedia.
If you have an American terrorist that wants to blow up your cities to help Muslim terrorists I guess it is OK.
In any case; the potential for abuse is what worries me the most.

The Muslim stuff is wearing out rather quick...

Right out blatantly on Reuters today. The U.S. must be proud of itself for its fascist b.s.

It is this bit I worry about:

The DHS official said that under the program's rules, the department would not keep permanent copies of the internet traffic it monitors. However, the document outlining the program does say that the operations center "will retain information for no more than five years."

Who will control them, and what will be the consequences if they retain it for 6 years - or forever?

The bit where they watch internet media is OK. If people publish it - they cannot be surprised that someone reads it.
