If there was ever a time to get involved in politics, it's now. If we allow Congress to pass legislation in favor of Big Entertainment our rights as a generation will be diminished. What's worse is that the original distributor of piracy software was Cnet, a division of CBS/Viacom. And they shared the technology with other major entertainment companies who in turn distributed it as well. Now these media companies have lobbied Congress to make it a criminal act to have used what they distributed. This makes no sense.

It's pretty crazy though that SOPA/PIPA, NDAA, and FEMA Camps all became pubic knowledge around the same time. Do they think we don't notice this? Do they think we've become dumb and numb? ...We might be eating their poisonous food, and watching their propaganda, but the tores of the earth is being reactivated, and the energy is allowing us to WAKE UP. We are more alive than ever! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
