Edit: April 2012 - SOPA Morphed into CISPA - See page 6. Here are some in-depth articles about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) poised to be voted on this year in the U.S.A. SOPA will effect users world wide. I post them as a starting point of discussion and awareness of this act. Looks like there is a new act called OPEN being offered. I started a new thread about the OPEN act: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=75422 SOPA and PIPA Delayed http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120120/08335717489/internet-wins-pipa-sopa-delayed.shtml US Senate postpones Tuesday vote on PIPA http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9223588/US_Senate_postpones_Tuesday_vote_on_PIPA Molly Wood's Blog http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57362437-83/anonymous-goes-nuclear-everybody-loses/ Just In...can anyone verify?

Thanks for starting the thread. A lot of organizations and individual persons here in Europe is very upset about it and so am I. The companies behind the Lobby that proposed it gets too much power in their hand. Youtube as we know it today will most likely have to change a lot. and even our forum here has to be very vigilant and stop any link to music or other copyrighted things. So a villain that want to destroy for us can bomb us with such links and there are too few moderators to keep up so it is bad bad bad. _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum not an ideal solution though |

Exactly - I can imagine one is putting, let's say, "Copyright bomb" on some site, then site will be closed, and so on, and so on... ...and we can reach the day, when accessing net we'll get "Sorry, internet has been banned" message... Half funny, half serious, but possible... Greetings! _________________ [O]bdurate [R]ules [D]estroy [E]nthusiastic [R]ebels => [C]reative [H]umans [A]lways [O]pen [S]ource Omnia mea mecum porto. |

One more thought: IF SOPA will become reality, forums like this must have: 1. Brilliant filters to distinguish links leading to copyrighted materials, or 2. Prohibition of posting links, or 3. Moderation of every post before publishing. Every point listed above (I assume that 1st point is rather impossible to implement) leads to death of free forum concept, IMHO... PS. D@mn it, why I became so pessimistic today?? Let someone present any positive point of view, PLEASE!

How to transfer a domain from GoDaddy http://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/876/83/how-to-transfer-a-domain-from-godaddy For those that don't get the relevance of this, this forum is hosted on GoDaddy, and they are the reason that the forum goes offline for periods. |

Yes that is unfortunate. We have to donate then to John so he can afford a Host that is reliable. 
Back to SOPA. I trust it will be implemented. That Lobby that have taken it this far spent some 200 million US Dollar on forcing it to get through. So if they are that at it then they will not give up on it even if postponed for the moment over Christmas and New Year. February them will go at it again and see it get fully implemented. Maybe them take it easy first and only give warning but I agree that most likely links has to be approved of by the Admin/Mods. Or else any forum can be crushed by a "Lulz" kid that find it fun to be destructive. _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum not an ideal solution though |

Try not pessimistic enough. There are many useful advantages for the government to gain controls of the internet. That's what police states do. |

VP Joe Biden is a longtime copyright enforcement weener, having sponsored several bills over the last decade. He is indirectly responsible for the Obama administration's appointment of 5 RIAA attorneys to the DoJ. http://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/joe-bidens-problem-music |

if you know how business works you dont have a business when your customers leave since this forum uses Go Daddy it would be wise to do some back ups soon this will only help those that are not complacent http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74404 why people react to problems differently some panic some complain some react by looking for new solutions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Moved_My_Cheese%3F Joe fixed typo "are" _________________ debian wheezy ,linux mint, slackware I use them all and they all have good points Mint would be best for general users though Last edited by big_bass on Mon 26 Dec 2011, 15:26; edited 1 time in total |

That's probably not a true statement. I don't think GoDaddy is the reason the forum went down, but GoDaddy's (lack of) response after the forum went down was certainly counterimpressive.

Thanks. This offered great clarity on all the complex issues involved; however I found some others that offered better focus and insight : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxOQZMWP2vU&NR=1&feature=endscreen |

LOL , politicians are the same (idiots) all over the world.
But...let's forgive them, they're just weak and brainless puppets of corporations' schemers.
I'm crushed! 
But, in a contrary, this cutie seems to be quite sharp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-lGyMe931w Meanwhile: At last, after hard, intensive thinking (<- joke), I finally found a bright side of this whole SOPA thing. When SOPA becomes true and our (illusion of?) freedom will be restricted, it may cause, that our sense of solidarity will grow and more people start to publish their work under GNU/GPL and Creative Commons. If the enemy is known and threatens the masses, people (even if they were antagonists) tend to unite and share with each other. Or am I naive..?
