SOPA - Big Business and Big Government in Your Computer

By Bedre Konja :: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 :: 3063 Views :: Science & Technology

Many Chaldeans are well aware of how “Big Government” and “Big Businesses” use laws to pick their winners and losers rather than provide real justice. “Saying laws are only intended for justice is a joke. Most laws are meant to control the masses to submit to the will of Big Businesses,” says Kevin Shonea of Chula Vista, California.

Shonea is the president of Web Logics and Analysis, an online company that evaluates the impact of online technology on a company’s bottom line. “Politicians and big business lobbyists plan new laws and hatch talking points and scenarios to get the public to swallow new laws under the guise of justice or creating jobs.”

{In this article Chaldean entrepreneur Kevin Shonea and legal Scholars Anne Bishu and Marvin Ammori tackle Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), also known as H.R. 3261}

“These are not conspiracies or theories. Wikileaks proved that. Big Government and Big Businesses conspire. They choose winners and losers and only provide enough real justice to keep violence from sparking. They call it lobbying. It really is bribery and theft. It can’t be any plainer than the nose on your face. Anyone who uses the conspiracy card to deflect the validity of the argument, is simply too weak, naïve, or afraid to face the reality that Big Government and Big Businesses work together to grow and pluck the public of its wealth,” adds Shonea.

“The Occupy Movement and the TEA Party are really the same movements. One was fighting to weaken Big Government and the other was fighting to weak Big Companies. Both were fighting being controlled. The public is awakening and part of the reason is the Internet. However, the freedom of the Internet is about to end.”

It’s not a stretch to imagine that the reason big media companies want SOPA to pass goes beyond just hampering piracy. Rather, it would give them massive amounts of control over the internet, as they can deem which sites are harmful to their brand and effectively censor them should they link to anything remotely resembling their copyrighted material.

Media companies fast losing ground to controlling broadcast channels then hatched an idea to show how the Internet could be used to thwart U.S. laws and challenge national security. Companies like CBS, MSNBC, AOl, and Time Warner are implicated in targeting and teaching young kids how to pirate and share pirated content in order to build a large enough risk for politicians to pay attention.

Media insiders have shared how Media giants like CBS and Viacom pushed peer-to-peer software. “The peer-to-peer technology was needed in order to give credit to the calls of copyright infringements and act as the precursor for more draconian and Internet control laws,” says Shonea.

The recent government struggles caused by wikileaks, twitter, youtube, and a host of other similar websites has government in general worried. Protestors are better able to organize, capture video, and more effectively communicate government injustice. U.S. politicians fear it is only a matter of time before the ire of the American people turn towards politicians. Political scientist are saying that SOPA gives politicians who wish to hide cover as they push a law that allows them to turn off sites at a flick of a switch, using the pretext of copyright protection.

Copyright laws have always been contentious. Many legal scholars believe copyright laws have lost their utilitarian purpose and are now an epitome of protecting Big Businesses. The U.S. Constitution which allows the granting of copyright and patents for a limited time to serve a practical function, namely "to promote the progress of science and useful arts".

Anne Bishu, a UCLA law school graduate and an intellectual property rights expert says, “I have the opinion that courts should not be addressing the issue of maximizing profits for big businesses. They should first ask if the big business is reasonably profitable with their copyright. If not they have a claim. If so, then they do not. ”

Bishu adds that the purpose of copyright law is "to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries. The United States recognizes no absolute, natural right in an author to prevent others from copying or otherwise exploiting their work.

“The copyright laws give authors limited property rights in their works, but for the ultimate purpose of benefiting the public by encouraging the creation and dissemination of more works. The author's interest is secondary to that of the public. We want authors and inventors to be profitable as an incentive to encourage new ideas and development. Once that is satisfied, the public’s benefit should be the priority. Big Businesses and misguided politicians are harming the public.”

Marvin Ammori, A Harvard law school graduate, Legal Fellow with the New America Foundation Open Technology Initiative, an Affiliate Scholar at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet & Society, and former law professor at Nebraska is helping to educate others about SOPA.

Ammori, like many other leading legal technology scholars feel SOPA infringes on First Amendment rights, is Internet censorship, will cripple the Internet, and will threaten whistle-blowing and other free speech. In short, harm the public, in order for politically connected companies to rake in obscene profits because they were able to get politicians to artificially put the interest of their business ahead of the people.

Ammori observes that until fairly recently, the courts and Congress also recognized the threat copyright poses to free speech, and thus provided exceptions like fair use and safe harbors to shelter ISPs and others from liability for defamatory or copyright-infringing conduct by users or third parties. But, Ammori argues, “Congress has become inconsistent in its sensitivity to free speech threats,” with new proposals such as SOPA, which threaten to chill or stifle speech on the Internet. Ammori urges Congress to take First Amendment concerns into account in crafting new copyright legislation

Shonea shares that more and more people are waking up to how Big Business and Big Government conspire and corrupt. "For Big Businesses we can stop giving them our business. For politicians we need a term limit for all of them."

(Selwyn Duke) - "I think he did the right thing," said the man, emphatically, in reference to Bill Clinton's 1990s infidelity with Monica Lewinsky. The sentiment, expressed during a conversation I had some years ago, was really no surprise. You see, the fellow was a fine specimen of his political species...

(Tim Dunkin) - A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the need for many, perhaps most, Americans to rediscover what the foundations of our system of liberty are all about. A goodly portion of our country has forgotten what the values are, specifically, that made this nation a bastion of freedom in a world of tyranny, allowing her to serve as that "city upon a hill" to whom so many would look for inspiration in their own struggles for liberty...

Walking tall in Wisconsin

Sun, 10 Jun 2012 14:11:53 -0500

(Robert Meyer) - Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is the first governor in history to survive a recall election. Of course, that isn't saying much when we consider how few recalls there have been. Scott Walker defeated his opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett by about seven points. Looking at things though my tinted conservative spectacles, it is hard to believe it wasn't more than twice that margin. But since it was in line with the most recent pre-election voter poll, it is hard to argue that the result was a surprise...

Walker's reforms and his remarkable courage. Despite intense and relentless pressure, Walker stayed true to championing conservative principles...

(J. Matt Barber) - It's no secret that I have been and remain a vocal critic of Mitt Romney. To say that his conservative bona fides are suspect is an understatement. I have tremendous respect for a number of fellow evangelical Christians who say that they will not support his presidential candidacy. I expect I will anger some of them, and may even lose a few friends. Still, in November, I am voting for Mr. Romney and suggest that any Christian Republican, Democrat or independent should do the same...

(Michael Oberndorf) - In a recent article in the journal Foreign Relations, the prestigious, oft quoted journal of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Raymond T. Odierno lays out his ideas regarding what the military of the immediate future should look like, and what it should be doing. Timely stuff, with Iraq and Afghanistan (maybe) winding down, and budgets under scrutiny. But some of what the General is suggesting borders on outright treason. First, though, a bit about the CFR, for those who are not familiar with it...

(Jim Kouri) - Following the testimony of Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday, Congressman Lamar Smith expressed concern with Holder's leadership of the Justice Department and the Obama administration's efforts to impose a partisan agenda on the American people. The chairman of House Judiciary Committee, Lamar Smith (R-Texas), grilled Attorney General Holder at the hearing in Washington, D.C. about whether White House officials were aware of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF's) Operation Fast & Furious, which contributed to the shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry...
