It's truly unconstitutional, as it censors free speech and art. OBEY YOUR (FOUNDING) FATHERS, GOVERNMENT!

its garbage. ill personally smash the person that puts this through. Why don't we all just crawl into a jar and put the lid on. Take away the right to do what you want the people that do this are going to start a civil war. Artists vs the assholes. The creative vs the insecure. These are people that don't get happiness and want to take from the people that are.
All my life i have grown up with people wanting to place power over me and take from me my love of life. We all have. They think its better. They think its right. The scary thing about it, its all of us that do it. Sure we don't take away power like the people that have the power to, but we all look at each other and feel the fear of judgment and the glance from eyes that want to label you in your freedom. In this moment we all take power in little amounts from each other and forget to just smile and wave and be happy for the person that is different and looks the way they want.

The system is us. We are the system, and fear is the engine in which we all know and have been in since we were born. It's the school we were in and are in. It's the food we take that causes us to be agitated as more and more processed sugars and chemicals we ingest that put us in the state of mind where we can no longer feel calm and at peace. We are what we are, but taking away the art and creativity will be just a start. The internet is the connection to the truth. It allows us the freedom to see what is out their and learn from other instantly. Growing in any way we like. We must learn and seek out our own path and be who we want, and be what we want. We know right from wrong, but as the computer age allows the people of this world to sit at home and not seek adventure we are creating people that hide behind the keyboard and are fearful to seek the adventure within. Deviant art is an amazing place where i love to sit and see the great many pieces of art that you all have done and smile at the creativity within you.

I'm just one person. As you are as well. But we have a choice to stand for whatever we like. All i say is this. Know that we are who we are because we chose to be pushed from the people in power. Vote and change it if you don't like it. Stand and yell at the top of your lungs if you want to be heard. Let your voice sing and cry when you like as no other person can give you what you already have inside of yourself and stand for yourself and you will see the people that will stand, sing, cry and love with you.

We all have a heart. And we all have a brain. What we don't do and should do more is relate to each other, so we can see that we are all the same. You are not your color, you are not your race, you are the same as me and the other people that populate this world. You bleed, you have bones, and you have flesh just like me. So why is it so hard to look at yourself and admit you are weak to others? Well thats for you to decide, but i'm weak because i was raised by parents who were weak, but i looked up to them as perfect and imprinted their weaknesses. That doesn't mean you are weak, it only means you have to learn your own strength within yourself, and stand strong for yourself and the people that chose to stay in their own weakness.

I don't know everything, but i know who i am. And ill be damned if i let some fat bastard take my freedom of creativity from me. This i will die for. I'm not weak, or afraid to say that i grew up with an abusive alcoholic dad that in turn had one himself. I can understand that the abuse that i went through wasn't really my dad because we are not perfect people. The sooner we all can accept that we have a choice within ourselves, the sooner we can smile in the moment and love and accept each other for who we are.

I am Brad Stadnek. Emotion is within me, but i am in this moment with you, and i chose to see you free to make the mistakes that make us human. LOVE LOVE LOVE

It'll really suck if this crap passes. I'm all against SOPA and PIPA!

One thing that'll happen if this does pass, internet users will just hack and reprogram whatever B.S. they use to block the content. All they'd have to do is make a website like a free proxy server website that diverts the SOPA and PIPA programs so we can have uninterrupted internet usage. Or better yet a program for computers that do that very thing.

250 or so years ago, this system worked. Now, it's all falling apart - just look at the world around us . . . it's a pity

Yet radically changing it would be hard, too, if you think about it; trapped in between two walls, unable to get out . . . and who thought of this bill? It's the beginnings of censorship, right there.

Internet is a a really huge and wide platform, where we can find, watch, hear, and do so many things. But as technology keeps on progress, internet is changing too. There's no frontier. So, we can find freedom in it.
However, it's not that internet is worldwide, easy, and isn't controled by many strict laws that we can do anything on. See how websites becomes: they're invaded by ads, popup. (and sorry for the language: WTF with thoses stupids ads like "cougar women" "wanna see me nude?" STOP it now!!) Because there's illegal contents, there's more and more people who dll them, and share them after, use this illegal stuffs to make money on the work of others, that make companies, gorvernment react. "Protection", I think, is the word which echoes well to the primary idea of HADOPI, SOPA, PIPA... But, the reaction is axagerate, and more an overeaction than a reaction.
To protect, and moderate when it's "necessary" are okay. To exagerate, and to be caged after are the worst thing to do.

Democracy is based on laws to secure freedom for everyone.
Laws are created to organizise and make it possible.
However, everyone knows, excess is always not good.
And not only for SOPA and PIPA.

Seriously? The internet can only get better from... (and WITHOUT pipa and sopa)
They're just procrastinating on working on more important things like the poor education in our schools and stuff that hasn't been confronted for years now.
Thanks, DeviantArt! YOU ROCK.

This will escalate. And I'm very curious about the effects of Sopa.

The west ist looking with contemption at near easts' governments but is going to allow complete digital observation of their own citizens. There are enough dystopic interpretations and fantasies of a future like this....the worst thing about it is that i'm going to believe them.

More SOPA Hell -- Hawaii may keep track of all Web sites visited!!

Hawaii's legislature is weighing an unprecedented proposal to curb the privacy of Aloha State residents: requiring Internet providers to keep track of every Web site their customers visit.

Its House of Representatives has scheduled a hearing this morning on a new bill (PDF) requiring the creation of virtual dossiers on state residents. The measure, H.B. 2288, says "Internet destination history information" and "subscriber's information" such as name and address must be saved for two years.
