Our constitution only protects us from such things if we file suit and pay to have the matter considered by our Supreme Court. T'ain't cheap.
The good news is that this has the potential to piss off enough people that we'll be able to afford the cost of the trials.
It's also going to be a boon for offshore DNS services; I'm signing up as soon as the bill passes.

It will affect where the root servers are as well. Everything related to DNS will get pushed out of the US, not good.
Soon it'll be a BGP community that we must all support to take down an IP...

Hi Bruce-
You might look at this

if SOPA comes to pass. Sorry not to have written lately. Judy's mother passed away Thanksgiving day. She's the executrix of the estate and we've been busier than a one-legged man at a butt kicking party.

*snicker* It does, when you get government officials to whom the Constitution matters. So far by my count, there could be two of 'em, and those two never make it to Washington. No, I don't mean Washington State.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Isn't the Constitution that thing that's written on the toilet paper in government buildings?
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

No, Lasolimu. If they put it on the toilet paper, the Constitution would then mean too much to them. They would actually find it too useful for the things they do.

If there's anything on Wikipedia you want to look up you better look it up soon. At 05:00 UTC Wednesday (12:00 Eastern, 21:00 Pacific (Tuesday)) the English-language Wikipedia will be blacked out for 24 hours in protest of the SOPA and Protect IP Acts. You can find information on this black out
here.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I just saw that the administartion has come out against the acts. I didn't read the article, just caught the headline. I'll have to check out the full thing later.
