This is just Google complaining again, nothing to see here move along…

Mike, think of it – another indirect paycheck from Google for you!

Seriously, you need to pay attention here – the law makers are NOT going away. They understand that something has to be done to re-establish the balance, and all the kicking and screaming in the world isn’t going to change it.

The internet just isn’t going to be regulated by the lowest set of laws on the planet. Each country over time will take it’s stand and regulate the internet in the same manner that they regulate everything else, for the good of the people.

You may not like it, but if you are half the visionary you claim to be, you will surely see where this train is going. History is on the side of that result.

Mike, maybe you should prepare some Tumblr-like overlay to call your Congressman before that day comes, so we get a lot of calls in before that.

You are conflating a collection of mostly bought-and-paid-for shills with a Congress “of the people”. It’s time to stop such nonsense.

The political system of America today is, like in many other countries (yes Virginia, there are other countries outside the red, white and blue walls) is totally corrupt and totally kaput.

This is serious. That which would have people believe it is the government “Of the People, By the People and For The People” is in fact the government “Of the Corporation, By the Corporation, For The Corporation and Oppressor of the People”.

There are two options: stand up and revolt, or sit back and enjoy pseudo-serfdom under the thumbs of the latest business-first hawks (the Smooth-Talking Right-Leaning Wall-Street-Planted Liar in The Expensive Suits and his partner in crime Joe Hollywood-Is-My-Master Fake Toothy-Grin Biden are just the latest demorepublicrats to oppress the people and subvert their rights after the repugnant rule of King George “Kill ’em All” Bush and Darth “Death-Knell” Cheney.

Seriously, is Mitt “Strap Your Dog On The Car Roof” being the “opponent” not proof enough that they can’t even bother trying because the outcome of the race will be “heads they win, tails you lose”? (Don’t even think about the ancient bought-off dough-boy with the other funny name).

The current “United States” is a vulgar affront to the Forefathers and embodies the antithesis of its origins.

Now that we’ve seen the hysterical Techdirt interpretation, here’s the report from the CRS a non-partisan part of the Library of Congress, via GovTrack, somehow they failed to find the SOPA-esque implications:

“OFFICIAL SUMMARY
The following summary was written by the Congressional Research Service, a nonpartisan arm of the Library of Congress, which serves Congress. GovTrack did not write and has no control over these summaries.

11/30/2011–Introduced.
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 – Amends the National Security Act of 1947 to add provisions concerning cyber threat intelligence and information sharing. Defines “cyber threat intelligence” as information in the possession of an element of the intelligence community directly pertaining to a vulnerability of, or threat to, a system or network of a government or private entity, including information pertaining to the protection of a system or network from: (1) efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy such system or network; or (2) theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information. Requires the Director of National Intelligence to: (1) establish procedures to allow intelligence community elements to share cyber threat intelligence with private-sector entities, and (2) encourage the sharing of such intelligence. Requires the procedures established to ensure that such intelligence is only: (1) shared with certified entities or a person with an appropriate security clearance, (2) shared consistent with the need to protect U.S. national security, and (3) used in a manner that protects such intelligence from unauthorized disclosure. Provides for guidelines for the granting of security clearance approvals to certified entities or officers or employees of such entities. Authorizes a cybersecurity provider (a non-governmental entity that provides goods or services intended to be used for cybersecurity purposes), with the express consent of a protected entity (an entity that contracts with a cybersecurity provider) to: (1) use cybersecurity systems to identify and obtain cyber threat information in order to protect the rights and property of the protected entity; and (2) share cyber threat information with any other entity designated by the protected entity, including the federal government. Regulates the use and protection of shared information, including prohibiting the use of such information to gain a competitive advantage and, if shared with the federal government, exempts such information from public disclosure. Prohibits a civil or criminal cause of action against a protected entity, a self-protected entity (an entity that provides goods or services for cybersecurity purposes to itself), or a cybersecurity provider acting in good faith under the above circumstances. Directs the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to submit annually to Congress a review of the sharing and use of such information by the federal government, as well as recommendations for improvements and modifications to address privacy and civil liberties concerns. Preempts any state statute that restricts or otherwise regulates an activity authorized by the Act.”
