SOPA and the Future of Internet: What will happen to Macintosh Garden?

If MG is a public enemy of the SOPA law, I'll defend it until the death. I can't think this website will die because the U.S. Laws consider it as Illegal Operative. Anyone knows how to avoid its deletion?

You may see MG apply for religious status, certainly more realistic than Jedi or Koppi'ism.

As a US citizen I have said in the past that the DNS infastructure needs to be expanded past the US shores. The internet is global, so should its foundation. I would support "unofficial" DNS servers pop up in other countries.

Nicolasbahamondes, most important companies as Google are disagree with this law. The big strike they will do will be enough to stop this. Don't get worried.

Huge companies have amazing political influence. There was a bill in Texas that would allow small breweries to sell their own beer from the brewery (as wineries can), and the government was on board with it (as well as the small microbreweries) until Anheuser Busch inBev raised a stink about it: then it didn't go through. (Legally, Texas breweries couldn't even say officially where to buy their beers). A brewery in Austin threatened to go to the courts over this citing the First Amendment, and a judge did agree that some parts of the existing law were unconstitutional.

Point: huge companies are powerful.

I have a hosting account here in Canada so if there's ever at least a temporary splash page type of deal that would need to be hosted, just get in touch Smile I don't really have the bandwidth to host a full site like this, though. Just small stuff. Wink
