Hi,
it makes
a long
time since
I wrote
anything. I
hope you
had a
good new
year, because
I hadn’t...
Now
on-topic, usually
I’m
not interested
about news,
I just
don’t
have patience,
but in
these last
days I've
been following
some tweets,
the central
topic: SOPA
and PIPA
But what is this?
Well…in Portuguese SOPA
is soup and PIPA is barrel xD
According to wikipedia
“The
Stop Online
Piracy Act
(SOPA) is
a United
States bill
Introduced by
U.S.
Representative
Lamar S.
Smith (R-TX)
to expand
the Ability
of U.S.
law enforcement
to fight
online
copyrighted
Trafficking in
counterfeit goods
and intellectual
property”
“The
PROTECT IP
Act (Preventing
Real Online
Threats to
Economic
Creativity and
Theft of
Intellectual
Property Act,
or PIPA)
is to
proposed law
with the
Stated goal
of giving
the U.S.
government and
copyright holders
additional tools
to curb
access to
"rogue
websites
dedicated to
infringing or
counterfeit goods
"”
In
practice, it
allow a
complete site
to be blocked, it
is only
required to
have material
that infringes
copyright, that
includes music,
movies, images,
text, etc.
It
isn’t
the first
time we
see proposals
like this,
in recent
years companies
have struggled
videos and
music piracy
by any
means. But
this time
I start
to have
fears.
In
these last
days do
you tried
to download
something from
megaupload? If
yes, then
you might
have noticed
that this
site does
not exist.
It has
been accused
of copyright
infringement and
money laundering.
Immediately a
lot of
discussion groups
appeared on
social networks,
many government
sites and
supporter of
SOPA have
been suffered
DDOS attacks (has you can see in this graph)
and many
large companies
have marked
her position
against. But
the fear
is installed
and other
file hosts
are turning
off their
services.
Currently
this is
the list
of entities
that are
against
There is a huge list? I
think so, but this gives me no guarantees...
Comments
cannot be
wrong, right?
So I'll
give my
opinion, while
it’s
still allowed:
Actually
the Internet
is in
an absolute
chaos, probably
the start
of the
first virtual
world war
to be
more precise.
Entities who
want a
free Internet
on one
side and
the other
people who
do not
know anything
about computers,
but are
lucky enough
to have
anyone that
see or
hear the
movies or
music that
their companies
produce.
And
in the
midst of
this, where
are the
software
companies? On
the side
of free Internet, perhaps
because they
know something
about computers
and Internet...
Moreover,
the USA
has methods
to control
more than
half of
the Internet
and think
that is
the capital
of the
world, of
course those
who think
that way,
should have
watching to
many American
action movies
or should
have been
born with
a disorder
named Anencephaly, in
the case
of the
ones how
agree with
SOPA, I
think that
they haven’t
watching movies…
I
know it
isn’t
easy, but
it is
necessary to
remove this
control, the
faster the
better. My
proposal is
that
- Be created a new DNS system, distributed, without a controlling entity, FREE and open source
- Improve the backbone links between Europe, Russia and Asia, it will allow us to aid our American friends
- Relocation of servers to outside of U.S. territory
- Increase the protests as a way to awaken the world to the current problem
- And above all, force these people that make those ridiculous proposals to do an introductory computer course.
I
hope you
enjoyed my
long opinion,
wish that
in a
short time
I could
write something
better :P
