Department of Justice helping AT&T getting around PESKY WIRETAPPING LAWS.
The airwaves are not safe! We are going to need to take our communications to broad-band telepathy. You know, we must don our aluminum plated salad bowl helmets and transmit that way. ‘Cause the rest of the avenues are being watched. Legal or not.

HOUSE passes PRIVACY-HATING CISPA by enormous margin. BIG BRO CACKLES.
Like I said before. It is time for me to take my latex fetishes and furry orgy requests to carrier pigeon. The days of the Wild Wild Internet (if it ever truly existed) is certainly fading with stunning alacrity. Today the House passed CISPA by a considerable amount, and now it is up to Barry Obama to strike the son of a bitch down. (But let’s be honest, the death of Internet freedom is being shoved down our throat no matter how much we gag.)
WHITE HOUSE ain’t cool with CISPA as it stands. Color me skeptical.
Maybe it’s because I’m on to the President-is-a-member-of the-Illuminati-Reptile-People conspiracy, but I have a hard time believing that the White House is actually concerned about CISPA. Sure the proles will gobble up this news, but not me. I’m busy watching They Live, and constructing my own set of reptile-revealing glasses. The Truth is out there.
CISPA passes committee, the old BIG BROTHER INTERNET BILL heads to the House floor.

Japanese Copyright Law Makes ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS A Criminal Offense

ACTA Getting Slapped Down In The EU, Sanity Prevailing?
You all know ACTA. Or if you don’t, you now do. There is a batch of good news regarding the fate of this secretive machination writing in treaty form. Three European Parliament committees have given the son of a bitch a slap down. Sanity, get!
PIRATE BAY Announces New IP Address, Effort Designed For Proxy Friendliness.
You can’t keep a good torrent site down. Unless you’re the slew of porn torrent sites that I used to frequent. In that case you can stake them through the heart and leave me devastated. Not Pirate Bay though, nope. No way.
SOPA Fighters Fund Billboard Outside Bill Sponsor’s Office. Crowd-Funding ++
Check out this wunderkind. A crowd-funded billboard denouncing SOPA was placed right outside the office of one of the bill’s sponsors. Fantastic.
White House Hires New Head of CYBERSECURITY; My Bet Is On Zero Cool.
If I was going to hire a head of cybersecurity, it would totally be Zero Cool. You know, Hackers reference? Am I getting too old? Too lame? My back hurts. The lights are dimming.
Comcast Xbox 360 App PRIVILEGES Bandwidth For Itself Over Netflix and Hulu?
And I was wondering why HBO GO was running like raw-ass melted over ill performance last weekend. There are allegations that Comcast is privileging bandwidth for its own Xfinity app over others on the Xbox 360.
