This is what I sent to all concerned:

Anyone who agrees with what I said has my permission to copy/paste my message, if that encourages them to SEND AN EMAIL.

Google's main page links to this online PIPA/SOPA petition.

Love Google's mini protest.

Congress is transparently corrupt. They are pushing this legislation through only because their financial contributors have asked them to. It's legal bribery.

And it's bipartisan. Yay! :yelsick:

I contacted my representative and one senator, but now I'm having trouble loading the form for my second senator. I wonder if they are experiencing a heavy volume today.

For once the online petitions didn't ask me to declare that i'm a registered voter.

Fucking A.

This is done.

Did this yesterday. A very important issue, no matter which side of the political spectrum you sit on.

Too bad this can't go through the teenager facebook channels like Ali's friend's contest did.

It is Kero. It started last night and I've seen a whole bunch of my friends and their friends ... its happening.

Everything ███ █████ is█████ ████ fine ████ ███

Same here. Besides the recent Packer loss, my facebook news feed hasn't blown up on a single issue like this for a while.

Ah. I quit FB, so I wasn't aware it has gone that viral.

The industry ignored the problem for years. Did virtually nothing to protect themselves. Law enforcement and other techniques to avert the problem are under utilized or sometimes ignored. So they want other innocent third parties to protect them.

A four man operation in St Petersburg Russia has routinely used internet scams (especially on Facebook) to steal $millions for consumer accounts. These four men are well known by name. The NY Times even published them. For years, Facebook has had a picture of one on their walls. Their St Petersburg office is described by the NY Times. These guys will even spend four months on vacations in places such as the south of France. And nothing happens to them. Where are routine solutions such as law enforcement?

These guys operate for the same reason why Hollywood would rather have third parties protect them.

Music industry's solution to piracy was to ignore it. To maintain an obsolete business model that only encouraged Napster. Even Apple had to drag this industry, kicking and screaming, into the new world.

What do badly managed industries do? What the American tire industry did to keep the radial tire out of America for almost 30 years. Run to government for protection for so long that most formally American tire manufacturers had to be sold to foreigners.

I emailed the Speaker of the House, who happens to be my congressman.

If I may, quote you, quoting me:

From the Hall of Fame. I thought of this last night. I find that it applies.

You may. That's why it's there, to *preserve* such things. You were right when you said it the first time, I was right to note it and record it, and you were right to repeat it.

Good job.
