Im beginning believe that the only way this worldwide tide of destructive legislation will be defeated is by letting these laws happen and letting them discredit themselves, to be hopefully repealed at a later date, once it is clear enough people have suffered.
Looks like defeating US SOPA was the easy bit, and SOPA supporters knew it. What does the US need SOPA for if every one else implements it?
What is pretty sad is that the world community supported the anti US SOPA movement, but no big players in the US want to support all those other countries who supported them. Where are google and wikipedia on the upcoming EU laws, for example? Will they black out European or Canadian users for 24hrs?
Well, if each threatened country does not get world community support and implements its version of SOPA, then its was all for nothing.
Cant help but think that 2012 will be an Armageddon of sorts after all. A virtual one.
