The SOPA Boycott List (they want internet censorship)
The House Judiciary Committee has released a list of organizations and companies that support the proposed internet censorship bill (SOPA). How convenient.
Here is the list of the 142 organizations on record as supporting SOPA. Some aren’t businesses but some are, so remember, every dollar you spend is a vote for the company you buy from. So lets vote no with our money. Here is an interesting thread of someone doing that: Fuck you go-daddy The offenders: 60 Plus Association ABC Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies (ASOP) American Federation of Musicians (AFM) American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Americans for Tax Reform Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States Association of American Publishers (AAP) Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies Association of Talent Agents (ATA) Baker & Hostetler LLP Beachbody, LLC BMI BMG Chrysalis Building and Construction Trades Department Capitol Records Nashville CBS Cengage Learning Christian Music Trade Association Church Music Publishers’ Association Coalition Against Online Video Piracy (CAOVP) Comcast/NBCUniversal Concerned Women for America (CWA) Congressional Fire Services Institute Copyhype Copyright Alliance Coty, Inc.

Domain registrar Go Daddy lost over 21,000 domains yesterday. It could be a coincidence--or it could be the result of the company's p.r. debacle over its support for the Stop Online Piracy Act.
21,000 domains transfer out of Go Daddy in 1 day | Digital Media - CNET News

I'm not too worried.
The internet is outside of the law. They can try to bring it in all they want but it wont work. It will be a failure on the same scale as the drug war. Plus, the us doesn't have jurisdiction anywhere but the us. Maybe the places they invade and occupy. |

There are many ways around the Chinese firewall and probably the others, but I don't follow those. The internet can't be regulated. They should have thought of this before releasing it into the wild. |

Use your brain and stop making simple things so fucking hard. Obviously you can't boycott everyone on that list. Just do the best you can, dur.

See here's the thing, separately these companies may be nothing to fear on their own but as they ally, they put the fear of Big Brother into the sheep among us (and that's a lot) and that's when the fun begins...

And here is my point to a T. Pfizer has us by the balls? 90% of the 'medication' we so desperately need has side effects twice as damaging as the disease. Turn off the TV and go outside for awhile and see how tight the grip on our balls is. Sunshine and movement do wonders for the human body. BUT! Not according to the 'box of doom' in the corner.
