SOPA and PIPA, proof that some people never learn.

The problem we have in our society is government. More succinctly it is how our elected officials arrive and remain in office. They don’t mind how they do that. For example the SOPA and PIPA is coming up. It is election time and they need money for re-election. That is part of it. Pay off all those that use scarcity to drive prices up and become wealthy. It is more than that. It is an attack on Wiki leaks and anyone else that would attack the US government with its own records. Here is an example. If this law was in place the US government could have had all the search engines remove the link to the website. It would have been criminal for anyone to provide them with a means to receive gifts and donations. Your ISP would have to block your ability to visit that site/information. Any advertiser on those sites would have to cease or be prosecution/persecuted.

This is a great deal for the corporations a few million dollars for campaigns and they get a internet police force for them at a cost of billions in legal actions and enforcement. Cost of billions because content providers will go off shore. Cost of billions because Americans will go off shore with VPN pipes to anonymous proxies to regain privacy and access. Cost of billions in legal actions. What does it cost us, the first amendment.

The best part is the taxpayers get to foot the bill for both sides, enforcement and eluding it. How about cutting the funding for that. I guess you could say SOPA and PIPA is corporate welfare. Corporate America the biggest welfare queens. Members of Congress work for us and kick your campaign funding friends off the government tit. Let them use all the tools available now. The only difference is they pay for it now. SOPA and PIPA makes us pay for it.
