Last week we reported that the US Senate Judicial Committee passed a controversial "Combating Online Infringement & Counterfeits Act (COICA)" and now the government is becoming the Internet POLICE!
How can this be? The bill isn't even passed in the House of Representatives, and consequently isn't a law!
We Don't Condone Copyright Infringement
True enough. However, we believe that the US government is overstepping its authority by going after websites without legal reasons or any authority whatsoever. The US government is actively taking-over Internet domain names from individuals who THEY THINK are stealing copyrighted materials. They close the website with no warnings at all. Instead, here is what you see:
No Proof, no trials, no freedoms - just close them down. Isn't this the way the Nazis behaved when they didn't like someone?
Where are the Courts?
The Department of Homeland Security - specifically ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement). They have been identifying websites that THEY say "that's an infringing site" and then closing the sites down. THAT'S ILLEGAL! It's also un-American!
They have no court orders or jurisdiction whatsoever to become the "Internet Police" anymore than you or I do.
What the Hell's Going On Here?
You say you don't care? You don't go to those websites anyway - so what's the big deal? The government is taking baby steps towards taking over the INTERNET THAT'S WHAT! You should be concerned and worried. No one has given Homeland Security the right to do these things. They are becomming the INTERNET POLICE and no one is trying to stop them. What does this have to do with immigration? Nothing!! So why is ICE involved? Are they the new Gestapo?
If they can close-down anyone without ANY PROOF of violating any crimes or having the courts to intervene, they can close-down this site or any other that they don't like. Do you understand what's happening yet?
Action To Take
America, we are at war from forces within our own borders. It's time to fight back! Notify Congress that this action is ILLEGAL and that you do not condone the attack on free speech or convictions without trials.
