A Pre-SOPA Blackout Effort Against Internet Dictatorship
Starting this Wednesday January 18th and possibly again in the future, you might visit this blog and find it partially blacked out.
This will not be due to a technical glitch but rather to a voluntary gesture of support to the growing movement opposing SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, a U.S. initiative aimed at doing much more to the Internet than its title claims by actually breaching the First Amendment and restraining freedom of speech and other essential rights, essentially implementing the first ever DNS-based Internet censorship legislation.
While SOPA and the newcomer PIPA aim at policing the many copyright abuses perpetrated on the Internet, they have deviated far off course to become yet another threat to the very essence of what has become today's reality: a global, cross-frontier and multicultural web of knowledge and communications. What the U.S. plans on doing is interfering with the very structure of a worldwide network that knows no boundaries nor borders. The drive might have been legitimate, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Are you having trouble imagining the scene? Just picture a web-bed CIA with all its greed, corruption and lust for power, unleashing its abuse upon the Internet under the so called umbrella of Justice and drawing wide, arbitrary eraser strikes across

Storbie has the most beautiful green eyes on a cat that I’ve seen. My two solid black cats have pale yellow eyes; not anywhere comparable to his.

Who photographed the photographer ? Don Estorbo de los ojos verdes ?
Uh, you’re joking, right? Right?
