Mark Your Calendars?
Via Susie Madrak, a post on the MSNBC technology blog about a possible shut down on January 23rd by Wikipedia, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and others over the pending SOPA legislation.
GoDaddy has already lost about 35,000 accounts after it came out in support for SOPA [the ‘Stop On-line Piracy Act’] by people who have read the law and object to it.
This is another attempt by the half dozen media conglomerates to harass their customers who refuse to buy the over-priced garbage that the corporations are attempting to push. The bill aims to make ISPs agents of the media conglomerates.
If the media companies would like to put a dent in real piracy, they might consider not having their CD/DVD operations located in China. The same warning goes to the ‘designer labels’ pushing their over-priced trash. If it is produced in China, it will be copied, often by the same company that makes the ‘real’ product.
If you out-source the production of your product, you have lost control of the product.
