SOPA and PIPA shelved....at what cost?

  Hello friends and readers,

  I wanted to add a link today that would show you how much money certain congresspeople received to help ensure that the current vote for SOPA and PIPA would be delayed....alas, due to the firewalls on this computer I can't open it or copy and paste....so I will type it out.

  I hope the link works...would be interesting to see who received the money...and how many of those are up for re-election ( 33 jobs available post ).

  Why is it important?  Currently, the Internet as a whole is nearly evenly divided on the legislation for SOPA ( Stop Online Piracy Act ) and the PIPA ( Protect I.P. Act )....with roughly all of the people who enjoy downloading everything for free ( even copy written material ) against the measures, and those who would like to be paid...songwriters, singers, movie actors, the guild...etc etc, for the measures.

  Perhaps the measures go slightly beyond ensuring that those who produce copy written material are paid for it...I am for SOPA and PIPA.  The two measures are not nearly as diabolical as many folks make them out to be..really.

 Next,  this video is a must see for anyone who used the site www.megaupload.com or knows someone who did.  15 minutes long...but so filled with plausible fact that it's scary.  Please watch.

  Please spread this message out to all your friends.  Have a great Sunday.
