Over the Internet as Americans ready for a legislation that will impose a government-sanctioned firewall, the elite computer-literate activists attacking the law are finding ways to circumvent the passing of SOPA or Stop Online Piracy Act. The SOPA will leave a Capitol Hill soon and seemingly cloak the Internet with Congress created blockades that will shun every user of the World Wide Web from a whole slew of content if the House and Senate have their way. In the content, this includes music, videos and in a nutshell, knowledge. Violation will yield massive fines and imprisonment under the legislation all for such action as uploading videos to YouTube. On the web, while the legislation is being delivered as a way to deal; with copyright infringement and piracy, the law itself will severely cut down the free flow of information online and would make something as simple as singing karaoke a crime if the footage ever an audience on the Web.
In the very near future which could make it come to life. The Congress approved the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. a legislation that allows for the indefinite detention and torture of American citizens. Activists against SOPA realize that the censorship should not be something that they’d put pass Capitol Hill with being shackled at Gitmo a real-life threat now. In the preparation, the source aligned to the online collective Anonymous, they are preparing for censorship much like China. Under SOPA, the government is believed to go after the Web by means of attacking the Internet’s domain naming system or DNS. That is the process that translates the actual, alphabetical domain name from a series of numerical characters, the Internet protocol IP Address. As the realities of SOPA passing becomes an Orwellian threat almost coming to life, computer users are quickly taking to the Web to spread information to other surfers on how to sneak pass the firewall that could cause censoring the Internet.
Users will be able to keep a roster handy of the digits that can be typed to dig up sites even as at risk as Google.com. In order to get around such filtering, activists have already begun circulating lists online that chronicle the IP-addresses of popular websites that could censor on SOPA. SOPA emergency lists have been spread around the Web in recent days via Twitter and viral messaging. Allowing users to save a list of sites as innocent as DIGG.com or The Onion that are just as prone to having the plugged pulled on them than anyone else.
Google and other big web companies should not exp0ect the battle to end with a little snafu in the financing of the sites in question. Given the support that anti-SOPA and PIPA activists have received this month alone, big Internet is a force to be reckoned with. The law possible when the National Defense Authorization Act was approved, activists were quick to wage an all out campaign on the lawmakers who helped it to be possible. The personal information and private details relating to the politician that voted in favor of NDAA have made its way around the Web.
