Who says Congress never gets anything done?
On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved a bill that would give the Attorney General the right to shut down websites with a court order if copyright infringement is deemed “central to the activity” of the site — regardless if the website has actually committed a crime. The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) is among the most draconian laws ever considered to combat digital piracy, and contains what some have called the “nuclear option,” which would essentially allow the Attorney General to turn suspected websites “off.”
(Do you trust the GOVERNMENT to have control over the internet sites YOU get to access? How long before the websites like this one are turned off because they speak the truth? So much for freedom of speech!!
And don't give me this bull about "If I'm not downloading copyrighted material I'm not losing anything"
You're giving a "Government gone wild" the green light to censor the free internet. If that thought doesn't scare the HELL out of you, then you ain't BREATHIN!!!)
