Well, here's an article on it, I don't think I could explain it as well.

There's still a chance Obama could veto it, but if not it's only a matter of time before this makes its way across the Atlantic.

It's nothing serious so relax

Yeah, "it's nothing serious," they say, "you are overreacting," and then, BAM! I wish I was just being paranoid, but I don't know...

For those too lazy to read the bill, here's the problem:
http://www.rules.house.gov/amendments/JACKSO_37542412143201321.pdf
read (1), page 1, lines 4 to 9.
It gives the department of homeland security to do WHATEVER it wants to data on the internet. no matter what any other law says. Basically, this bill trumps the 4th amendment when in comes to cyberspace:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
But WAIT! It says FEDERAL SYSTEMS! Not the entire internet. Scroll down a bit.
It gives homeland security the power to get information of private groups (ie your ISP) and they won't need a warrant. Sure, the ISPs can say "fuck no!", but really, they won't.
Its up to Obama now. Obama MAY veto it, but even if h he does the veto can be overidden by a 2/3rds vote. Given that the bill passed nearly 2/3rds vote, yeah.
After that, your hope would be SCOTUS saying the law is unconstitutional... which, unfortunately, may take a while, in the meantime Big Brother has his eyes on everything and everyone.
So, what can you do? If obama vetoes it, tell your congressmen not to vote for an override.
Inb4 "well, if you aren't doing anything illegal, then you shouldn't have a problem!" Another part of the bill talks about what counts as a cyberthreat. "Anything that can be pscyhologically harmful to children". Think about that for a moment. Clue: that includes porn. So, if you look at porn, congrats, you just invited big brother to spy on you.
http://www.rules.house.gov/amendments/JACKSO_37542412143201321.pdf
read (1), page 1, lines 4 to 9.
The Secretary of Homeland Security is authorized, notwithstanding any other provision of law, to acquire, intercept, retain, use, and disclose communications and other system traffic that are transiting to or from or stored on Federal systems and to deploy countermeasures with regard to such communications and system traffic for cybersecurity purposes provided that the Secretary certifies that such acquisitions, interceptions, and countermeasures are reasonable [sic] necessary for the purpose of protection Federal systems from cybersecurity threats...

What pisses me off is they would enforce "copyright" even without the creator's acknowledgment or consent. This indirectly assumes the U.S. governments owns my intellectual property! As a maker of eroge, I have a problem with that!

Really and truly, I'm not surprised by these sorts of shenanigans anymore. "Cybersecurity" and "Anti-piracy" bills are a dime a dozen nowadays. Besides "computer privacy" is following the path of unicorns and dragons: y'know... myth.
As for Big Brother... he's always going to be there, lurking inside your cumputerz. In fact, he's been outsourced to Microsoft since the 1980's. You know those "backdoors" in the Windows source code? They've been put there by Microsoft for the express purpose of giving Big Brother access to your computer. So for almost 30 years now, Windows computers have had their privacy compromised simply by running Windows. It gets better. Apple too has been on Big Brother's bandwagon for awhile now. That's just of the tip of the iceberg really. Online privacy is hardly "private" anymore. These bills more or less legalize what Big Brother, dozens of corporations, and most hardware manufacturing companies have been doing for years.
Sure that might smell heavily of "conspiracy", but is it really that far-fetched? [size=1](Answer: No. No, it's not)[/h]
Did I mention that the FBI already has a non-profit workaround to CISPA?
Anyway...
American Socialism shall prevail!
All hail AmSoc!

Offtopic It may be because I'm high but I spent about 8mins staring at your gif and another 10 mins laughing at it

Although I do not live in the United States of America, politicians have a tendency to either come up with policies with extremely technical terms or ambiguous in nature, so that commoners (like myself), have no idea what it encompasses.
In this case, when one bill fails, they simply come up with another by simply changing certain aspects of it.
Unfortunately, certain countries may follow suit. On the bright side, there are other superpowers whom I suspect may try to go against the tide, and hopefully, balance things out.

The government again, is trying to take control of the net.
Their efforts will be rendered useless. A lot of people wants their Net to be Free of restriction.
not to be controlled.

Even though I may possess a rather grim outlook of the future, I still risk hoping that those bills will all fail. I'd certainly like to keep the freedoms that I do have and not surrender them to the machinations of paranoid media industries and politicians-for-hire.
At TED, Clay Shirky gave a wonderful speech about SOPA/PIPA last January.
Here's the link if anyone is interested.

It might have passed but is still not a law.
If they don't want their shit to be illegally enjoyed then they should just stop uploading their shit online and use another source for their music, movies and etc.
They should create their own internet and have people log into their own shit, we like what we have now.

I was going to make a post on this too.
Well I personally think CISPA is evil. It's undemocratic and anti-freedom.
Let's hope Obama vetoes it.

American government = National Socialists' party
CIA = Waffen SS
FBI = Gestapo
NSA = SA (Storm troopers)
Infragard = HJ (Hitler jugend)
So far, America is turning into their own enemy that they had once defeated ages ago.

Don't ask my source, but I heard that there might be something happening in Chicago sometime in May, unrelated to CISPA, but with the same malicious intent. I also heard of an October/November "surprise" around the election.
Be on the lookout. Rumor has it there might even be a false flag in Chicago (and specifically Chicago to my knowledge) to prompt whatever the agenda is.
Man, I wish those damn globalists could just get their plans over with. All these attempts to control people will just collapse on itself once they actually achieve whatever they're trying to achieve. Like communism, I don't believe it'll work.
