"The internet isn't made for the Government, it's made for THE PEOPLE." I have to disagree with this. Internet was first created for the US military and government. Without those 2 then we would not have the internet today we see.

NorskeDrittsekk, he didn't say "made by" he said "made for".

Starting debates on here is going to be very lame so I am going to cut this short.

The internet is always to be in the hands of the government. It is never invented and intended for 'the people'. As a computer expert I look at the internet in different way. A deeper look at its darkness.

Have you ever wondered why would simple and easy SQL languages can't be secure? How ads companies scoop your data? How most ads database intercepted by at least a few of goverment links?

All these are just the tip of the iceberg. Useless to fight on if you do not know why.

Well, it's the government, they think that they can do whatever the fuck they want and that no one is going to stop them. Obama says that if the bill passes Congress (which the bill passed the house not too long ago...shit) then he'll veto it. To be honest, it will probably be the only smart decision he would make since he took office in my opinion.

You might find this interesting. This was originally for SOPA and ACTA, but it's basically the same deal here: <a href="http://www.you">http://www.you</a> tube.com/watch?v=WJIuYgIvKsc

The internet was the last thing the people had control of and now THIS SHIT?! angrey face >:(

supermario456 2012-05-07 17:35:21

I agree with you.

Novice123 2012-05-07 19:55:12

Don't forget the LLERAS in Colombia (though is not "active" yet). Still it's just annoying, people that download a picture of anything with copyright deserves more years in prison than a murderer? You gotta be kidding me!

I only see the whole ciry taking "control" of everything here.

Do you still work on Ep.8?

I apologize in advance for this rant.

I'm also against all this stuff, they're going about it the wrong way. If you want to stop piracy and copyright infringement, improve and enhance copy protection and track the source and arrest them. I also understand that any kind of copy protection can be circumvented in some way or another but it can be diminshed greatly without severly hindering the internet. Regarding CISPA and the government watching peoples every move, the government has probably been watching us without permission for decades, but there's probably no way to prove it. Kind of reminds me of this new show called Person of Interest, which is entirely fictional but very possible (a machine created that has acess to all internet connected technology and is monitored for terrorist activity and discards every other detail). Basically what I'm saying is while the government isn't actively monitoring our internet usage, everything on the internet is trackable and can be accesed by them if they need that kind of information for finding criminals or terrorists. It seems with CISPA they would just skip the step of getting permission and already have acess. Even though this could help bring justice to the internet quicker, it also means the government has acess to everything people do on the internet, whether or not you're a criminal.

I apologize once again for such a long rant, but this kind of stuff really makes you think about how the government is paying attention to the people, are they even taking the populous's opinions into consideration before creating bill after bill trying to combat piracy and copyright infringement? And it's not just the U.S. either, this stuff is happening everywhere.

Pardon my language, but FUCK THAT SHIT! We do not need big brother breathing down our necks to make sure we're good little drones. And one of the first things I saw when I looked at the CISPA page was that they would be sharing the information with technology and manufacturing companies. Why? In my opinion, because these companies want our user information so they can sell us more shit. And the gov't keeps trying to crush our rights and freedom under these bullshit laws like SOPA, and now CISPA. No.

wywy234 2012-05-13 21:24:50

if you ask me, they should be looking at bad websites that dosen't include free downloading.i think thats the main reason for those things like sopa.THE INTERNET IS A FREAKIN PLAYGROUND!!!!you can play,talk,and look on it.thats thing that ticks me off.

Animegirl89 2012-05-22 05:18:35

I don't understand all the political or government talk, but from what I understand of this I'm there with you. It's completely stupid and useless. Why does the government feel like they always have to do something like this? It's not right or even fair!

DigiMatrixx 2012-05-29 05:57:38

The government can really piss you off, can't it? I completely agree with your standpoint, this is our own little world, where people can do pretty much anything. No one has the right to limit our imagination.

Mat-The-speedstar 2012-05-31 03:40:15

The problem is they only look for the negatives of the net to get rid of, completely ignoring the positives that will be affected. Plus just one of those bills will cause complete anarchy. I'm not joking, they have that potential!

Sonicrpg 2012-06-09 17:31:35

(Sorry for the language) Oh, you have to be fucking kidding me!!

Seriously! Who are those pricks trying to do this crap? Are they maybe the same people who are just wearing disguises to look like someone else so they can keep trying to destroy the internet?

Megavideo is gone, Megaupload is gone (Although, I'm not a pirate) and if they somehow do the same thing to other great sites like Newgrounds and Youtube... Well, I don't know what I would do.

But for facebook, I couldn't care less. At least then, my mom would need to find another place to spend 99% of her days.
