What is Protect IP and SOPA?
Please share this video with EVERYBODY! freedomforip.org Recently, we sat down with Brian Rowe and Marcus Barnes-Cannon to discuss Protect IP and what it actually means to not only our community, but anyone that uses the Internet. Brian Rowe (twitter.com is a professor and long-time contributor to nonprofits supporting IP. Currently, he is working with the National Justice Project while teaching at Seattle University School of Law and the University of Washington. Marcus Barnes-Cannon is a third-year law student at the Seattle University School of Law with a focus on intellectual property. He recently spoke at Gnomedex as part of the Seattle Interactive Conference on the matter of Protect IP and its impact on both commercial and non-commercial users. The Protect IP Act is a set of legislation that would dramatically change the way the government and copyright holders handle potentially infringing sites. If the DoJ or the copyright holder deems a site in violation, they would have the authority to go directly to various search engines, domain registrars, and social networking sites to have the site pretty much blocked from anyone being able to access it. This, of course, prior to any trial or due process that one might imagine needing to come before such a drastic action takes place. You can read the legislation for yourself here: www.opencongress.org SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is a counter legislation currently being proposed in the House which takes a different (yet …

Oh ok, now I have 3 definitions of pontificate and I’m thinking you probably are not a Bishop, or maybe you are I don’t know but I think #1 applies here, ok now I can continue on with the video and hope that you don’t use too many big words or I’ll never get through this video.
Oh wait, Not even 20 seconds into the video and I have to pause the video to search what pontificating means, it sounds nasty.
pon·tif·i·cate
1. speak pompously: to speak about something in a knowing and self-important way, especially when not qualified to do so
2. serve as bishop: to officiate as a bishop, especially in celebrating Mass
3. term of office: the office or term of office of a pope or bishop
@MyUnicornIsOnfire You act like we still enslave the natives and blacks, that was VERY EARLY America, we were very young and have grown since then, and about this crap, it’ll probably go away like Bill S.978
I tried finding the stuff they mentioned in the video in the bill and couldn’t actually find any of it.
Congrats America! You are one step close in violating the 1st Amendment.
Love how they use the word “PROTECT”
make you feel safe under it
Until you realize they’re not protecting you
protect the rich businesses!
in the name of creativity?
Do you know how much is paid to the average writer/artist/creator of a game, of song? They don’t even pay shit! they pay the shit stuck on the tissue when they finish wiping their rich asses. that’s what.
“Protect” ah such a well disguised word.
@beast109126 I could say anything I want to on the internet
And now we have something even worst…..the NDAA.
Those are cool lights in your background. Good old school sci fi.
Vote Ron Paul 2012! He will veto any unconstitutional law! he has a 12 term 30 year track record of voting no on bills like these!
This year is the time for a revolution research and vote before all of our right are taken from us we must stop them now!
sounds like a bunch of old men that are mad that instead of making trillions there only making billion. wawawawa cry me a fucking river no wonder everyone hates america.
MOST content that are copy righted WAS LABELED UNDER THIS LAW AND THIS LAW I USE THIS FOR FAIR USE AND STUFF * CRAP * like that!!! AND THEY REMOVED BANNED IT BECAUSE IT WAS COPYRIGHTED CONTENT AND THE DESCRIPTION SAID UNDER THAT RULE AND LAW THEY STILL BANNED THE FAIR CONTENT I CANT MAKE A IMAGE ABOUT HOW CORRUPT THIS LAW IS!! OR THIS *BILL* STUPID INFRIGTMENT
Ron Paul 2012!
He stands against draconian bills like SOPA, NDAA and the Patriot Act.
Less government spending, less taxation to American Citizens, and a budget plan that works.
This man has been fighting for your personal freedom and the separation of congress from big business for years.
He has fought against the war on drugs, foreign wars, the federal reserve, nation building, and corporate bail outs.
Vote for liberty this year. Vote for real change.
Thumb up and spread the message!
12 illuminati watched this.
Help us to block a bill called Stop Online Piracy Act. SOPA is a bill that would create America’s first Internet censorship system. In a nutshell, it is similar like the censorship in China, Iran, etc.
#OpBlackout will not be silenced. We, #Anonymous, shall prevail!

@MyUnicornIsOnfire It is fucking terrible. He is a typical corrupt Illinois politician.

11:04 Epic win!
@MyUnicornIsOnfire
We haven’t had slavery of any type since 1865. At least our country wasn’t a penal colony.
My friend and I are strong activists in preventing SOPA from passing. Let’s beat the medias efforts in this. You are all invited to join us in our event “PLEASE help stop SOPA” on Facebook. This is to raise awareness and to inform the general public on small ways they can help prevent this from passing (Letters, emails, phone calls, signing petitions, etc.)
Hope to see you there!
