There hasn't been a topic here about this here yet, so I figured I'd post it. This isn't like the last censorship thing that went up here, as it affects both the US and Canada, so everybody's signatures actually matter this time.
I don't really have much to say about it, just seems like another bullshit censorship bill being passed at the last second. Discuss.

It's not much different from the others, as far as I know. The usual suspects trying to protect last century's business models by dropping all kinds of legal barriers entrenching obsolete copyright laws.
Not that it's a reason to not sign or get active. I signed this a few days ago (also an Openmedia subscriber/donater).
Personally, I think internet has become such a critical part of daily life that it should be considered a basic human right alongside healthcare and education. Cutting people off just because they downloaded a few Lady Gaga songs is asinine. You can't apply for schools or jobs without it anymore, and most forms of information transmission (radio/tv) is going digital.
But that's just my forward-thinking opinion.

I think what worries me the most is that me and my teammate are going to have to make a business online eventually. I don't like the implications behind making using the internet so dangerous and let's be honest, scary, with companies and government goons breathing down your neck all the time. Part of me thinks that this shit could be really prone to spiraling out of control if they even get a small foothold with it.
