Stopping the bleeding.

Previously on the Internet and real world:

Go Daddy’s announcement of dropping support SOPA is clearly a move to stop the bleeding. There will still be a lot of people moving their services away from Go Daddy. I apparently have one domain name for Google App registered through Go Daddy, not by choice. So who should I move it to?

It’s still “We the people”, right?

I have had the draft of this post for almost a week now, and yes I took the title from “Peace Sells” lyric. After numbers of revisions, I scrapped the entire content and started a new one. Well, this is the new content.

Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and The Protect IP Act (PIPA) are the talk of the Internet these days. I’d go this far to say:

In their current form, SOPA and PIPA easily undermine if not violate the First and Fourth Amendments.

We have to do something about it.

There is a newly created petition to veto the SOPA bill on WhiteHouse.gov “We the People” site. I urge you, voting Americans, to sign this petition.
