So you’re clear about SOPA & PIPA, right?
There’s something terribly wrong when our elected officials even contemplate the systematic dismantling of our citizens ability to freely share its own creativity with each other.
Scene 3 - (In the not so distant future): “I was so excited to share this really cool idea I had with y’all but I just got a DM from Congress.” The Committee on the Suppression of Creative Thought and Freely Sharing has determined I would be in direct violation of paragraphs 193, 206, 319, and 573 of the Amateur Citizens Open Thinking Reform Act of 2016.
Wherein it is clearly stated… No persons, citizens, nor foreigners within or outside our borders will posses any right to intellectual, artistic, or creative thought (no matter the origin) via the written word, image, audio, or video transmitted, conveyed, received, or otherwise consumed through any other means than those dictated by your benevolent government and its officially assigned expert dispensers of said content.
This is for your own protection as well as it is for the protection of all citizens young and old who may become influenced and thereby subject to your thoughts. Therefore, no said or implied creative thinking will be shared in any shape, form, or medium.
If you persist on having these thoughts and the ambition to share them, all evidence will be used against you in a court of law….
One of the best conversations I’ve listened to this week as to why we need to pay attention to SOPA and PIPA is from Clay Shirky.
