So Dewey, let me get this straight. You are for these bills because you want the government to put even more onerous regulation on the internet? Now how the hell does that help your free market? Who’s going to pay for the enforcement of all these new laws? Is it only okay for the government to come in and regulate all these things when it benefits the big intellectual property monopolists and not the little guy Is it fair for our ISPs to snoop on our hard drives and violate our privacy just so a small group of people can make more money? I would contend that it is not. If you dam up information it has to leak out somewhere.

Subject: Re: [ATI] Stop internet censorship This has 2 sides too it, some people take all the bandwith, the government needs to stay out of the free market, for example, they interfered with the AT&T T-mobile deel, T-mobile is for sale, and AT&T has the cash, and needs it to meet the needs of its customers, but everyone's beloved king Obama is against the free market, the very thing that made this country what it used to be. People go on websights and download porn and watch movies, mean while businesses can't run, because they can't get on line, because people are useing all the bandwith, that is why they are putting caps on the data. If you had a business, how would you feel if the government came in and told you how to run it, would you like it? of course not. That is European style socialism, but I don't expect most blind people to understand that, because that is what they want. I needed to call 911 on my cell phone one time, but it said "network busy" Because you have kids playing on the dam internet and blocking everyone else. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancy Lynn To: ACB List ; Adaptive technology information and support. ; CCB List ; Chat Moblind ; Missouri List Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 8:25 PM Subject: [ATI] Stop internet censorship Dear Friend, The Senate is poised to vote on a bill that would end the internet as we know it. If it passes, the "Protect IP Act" (and its companion bill in the House, "SOPA") could put people in jail for uploading a video to YouTube and would severely limit our right to free speech. This bill has been rushed through Congress because big corporate interests like Comcast, Pfizer, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have spent millions of dollars lobbying for this censoring legislation. I told my senators to protect our free and open internet and oppose the Protect IP Act. You should do the same. You can sign the petition at the link below. http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/internet_censorship/?r_by=-4976661-QS%3D3r5x&rc=paste1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ ATI (Adaptive Technology Inc.)
