Guess what folks SOPA is back!

Reports are surfacing that Hollywood is lobbying EU countries to put SOPA rules into their laws..

Currently, Canada and Ireland but expected to reach others..

Now what?



Spain has already passed theirs:

Awareness must be raised globally against this, otherwise if MPAA and RIAA see they can't win in US, they'll just move the fight over there first, win it there, and then come back to win it in US after there is already a "working model" in Europe and other countries. Heck, Chris Dodd even tried to use China as a working model. Saying "it already works like this in Germany or UK" should be a lot more powerful.


Looks like a job for eternal vigil.

Bummer. That's usually kinda tiring.
