Where there's a law, there's a hack to get around it.

Where there's clueless legislators, there's people who know what the hell they're doing (the public)!

The Internet community gets one over on the big wigs - just makes you feel warm inside.

The same people who keep voting them back into office and aren't outraged at this bill enough to do anything to stop it? Those people?

No, fandroid, they aren't. Congresscritters are unaccountable leeches, who live in their own little world, lording it over the rest of us. They buy votes of the ignorant masses with unearned benefits (which has bankrupted the country), and only support those who fill their campaign coffers; anyone else be damned.

Does this mean I can still download movies like Hurt Locker and not get in trouble?

From what is described in these "hacks," it seems that it would be pretty easy to get around this for anyone who runs their own, private DNS on their local network. There are lots of public DNS servers out there that are outside of the US. All one would need to do is point the network DNS to a public DNS that is located outside of the US. Said DNS could be a primary or a fail-over. For the US based private DNS runner, it would be a trivial change in configuration.

The people who understand this technology work in the field, not in the senate playing "pay me to make a decision." They're also a minority. Don't be fooled by the sense of control you think we have as a democracy. Money votes.

It's a sad state of affairs.

i hope SOPA and MAFFIAA burn for what they're trying to do. Not what they say what they want toi do, but rather for what they actually want. And may I be wrong about them.

I think its hightime to start building an alternative to TCP/IP. I'm already on it =D
No, I don't want to tunnel either.

 

[mr_tuel]

I feel bad for the majority of internet users who don't know about SOPA or how to circumvent its effects. OTOH makes me want to host a "rogue" DNS...

 

[intelliclint]

Plus users that want to could add the DNS entries into their routers, most routers cache these entries anyways.

my golden rule: if you can play it, you can copy it.

[citation][nom]jacekring[/nom]If they pass this, I'm going to comb over the whitehouse.gov website for ANYTHING that might remotely be copyrighted by somebody else and file to have their site de-listed.[/citation]:lol: I would not be surprised if you found something. :lol:

Well i think its time to have an in house DNS server
