The E-Parisite Bill ........look it up!!!! This is substantially important if you want free speech on the internet.
I say let them pass that trash. And once this bill goes through, tear down the internet entirely. The bigger they are the harder they fall.
For reference see

Apparently this is all the same steaming pile as the "PROTECT IP" act.
I would think by now that legislators would have learned that any bill with a fancy acronym like that should be voted against without further examination. But when it comes to the Internet, not a week goes by that someone doesn't devise another scheme to kill the goose for whatever golden eggs might be inside.
No kidding!!! Keep bumping this post, please. People need to read between the lines with these loosely written bills. This is another bill that will make corporations richer by narrowing the web for things you want to buy and services, you can forget Youtube and your harmless reviews and commentaries on videos, you can forget free-speech on the internet you will be owned!!! Please call your Congressmen because next stop complete fascism!!!
Did you post this earlier today?
No this is the first time.
This bill is backed by 0bama.
Vote him out he is a really fucked up pres he supports corporate fascism in America.
He benefits from it, jon corzine was one of the largest bundlers for 0bama. Corzine has recently hired a criminal lawyer for what he did to MF. 0bama is the face of fascism.
