Christopher Dodd, the former Connecticut senator who now leads the Motion Picture Association of America, hasn't given up on his dream of censoring the Internet. In a recent interview, he said that Hollywood and the technology industry "need to come to an understanding" about new copyright legislation.

Dodd said that there were "conversations going on now," about SOPA-style legislation, but that he was "not going to go into more detail because obviously if I do, it becomes counterproductive."

Fast Forward to Today.... SOPA,PIPA,MPAA and the other Major players in the anti Piracy War have taken an unprecedented step in trying to convince Congress to coattail Anti Piracy Legislation under the guise of Homeland Security .. They want this legislation written into the American Patriot Act!!!!!

This is SERIOUS stuff guys ... CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) passed in the House of Representatives Thursday and now faces a battle in the Senate where there are different variations of the same legislation but the intent is clear.. These guys have changed from complaining about Economic Damages to forcing Congress to pass National Security legislation that favors their interests...

We all need to get on our Senators and Congressmen like white on rice and let them know we do not support and are gravely concerned about the Cybersecurity Legislation that is before the US Senate..
There is no Clear and Present Danger to US Citizens as suggested by CISPA and this Bill threatens the Privacy of every American.....

I was wondering about this the other day. Thanks for the update.

This is scary stuff...is addition to being anti-piracy this would be spying on citizens 24x7

Sensor the internet??

Someone should censor Chris Dodd ... permanently as he is full of it.

The Bills sponsors have convinced Facebook to back the bill.. Under CISPA, any company can “use cybersecurity systems to identify and obtain cyber threat information to protect the rights and property” of the company. This phrase is being interpreted to mean monitoring your communications—including the contents of email or private messages on Facebook.

Right now, well-established laws, like the Wiretap Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, prevent companies from routinely monitoring your private communications.
Microsoft has also joined in support of the Bill.. Again, these guys Benefit from spying on our Privacy.. It gives them a competitive advantage.. They don't care about Civil Liberties Violations.. It is Pathetic...

right on, lobo4life613 Those companies are also selling this data to the intelligence and law enforcement communities around the world. It's the new big business for information.

anonymous should blitz them all and feed them viruses, mr happy delete or whatever just ruin their data/equip
who knows maybe people will finally get ticked off and water the Liberty Tree
(hopefully ya know what that means)

Yeah that makes things better. Anon isn't helping anything. If anythign they are making the people that want these bills to pass point.

First they will censor internet and then they will take away our guns.
