By far the biggest hurdle to overcome is people's apathy.

Also why all this talk about guns and "the gov'ment coming for my guns!" is irrelevant. Everyone know that the only thing that could turn those guns against the governement is if they came for them specifically.

Eroding every OTHER right? Not a problem.

Truly guns are the opiate of the masses.

There been some shrinking of the "Judiciary Committee’s list of SOPA supporters", perhaps due to cold water? Compare this list (439 entries, dec 21) with the 'official' list (142 entries, dec 23).

Beyond the law firms that have complained, I can't help but note that Electronic Arts aren't in the PDF.

Also, every time some actor tweets anti-SOPA sentiment, make sure to point out to them that the Screen Actors Guild are official SOPA supporters according to the judiciary.

So where does this 'DNS blocking' nonsense end? Well, since it's trivial to set up, all that will happen is that we will have a "Freedom DNS" layer out there. How do you stop that? I guess you could try and block those IPs. Okay, so you layer it on top of a DHT say. Now what? Either you continue to 'whack a mole', or you make it illegal to look up some numbers on the internet.

That's the end point of this, another crazy 'these bits are special and you're not allowed to see/copy/think about them' law. This can only end with more freedom thrown handcuffed into the cellar while corporate interests are getting blowjobs from eager politicians mubling incoherently about 'the children and the jobs'.

At some point there's going to be a physical reaction to this insanity. Just keep pumping up the pressure.

Be free and open and breezy! Enjoy! Things won't get any better so get used to it.
