The FDA, USPS, Immigration and Customs, Boarder Patrol, Department of Commerce, US Patent and Trademark Office, NCIS, DCIS, ACIC, GSA, CPSC, in the US have no mandate or jurisdiction regarding these types of matters and they are part of the US Government and military. Then with INTERPOL or the Government of Mexico Tax Administration Service, they are foreign law enforcement agencies with absolutely no jurisdiction in the US. Knowing all of this, what DHS is doing, especially having bedfellows like this is beyond illegal!
It is like the CIA operating within the US boarders. That is illegal and they have been proven to do so. An example being how the CIA could not believe Jesse Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota. Before he even walked into the governor's office they took him to the basement, put him in a room, proceeded to interrogate him, and most in the room with the CIA would not say who they were or what their position in the CIA was.
What the CIA did was not only a violation of the CIA mandate, it was a violation of the state's law, Federal law, and the US Constitution. Which is exactly what this little group working together is as well. One reason being is that it is illegal for foreign law enforcement to be involved in the governing or enforcement of laws in the United States.
If any supposed crimes are taking place in regards to this and it is an American citizen or legal resident committing them, then it falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI solely or the state it is taking place in, not DHS, NCIS, or any other Federal organization / law enforcement agency.
On that note of legal citizens, have you ever heard of them going after an illegal alien? Nope! And guess what they never do on any level. An illegal alien drives drunk and they are let go. Two illegal aliens try to steal an old man's trailer from his yard, in the process try to run him down, he shoots at them to defend himself, and they are let go while the old man is charged with attempted murder. You can Google that! It happened in 2010.
So how about as a nation we worry about these types of things first. Focus on securing our boarders where we have lost 80 miles in from the boarder of Arizona to Mexican drug cartels, corrupt cops, and military, then worry about everything else.
The US Government claims we could be terrorists while irradiating us and sexually assaulting us in violation of the Constitution, but it leaves the Mexican boarder wide open for real terrorists to come right in, which the cartels, the Mexican cops and military they have on the payrolls, are all terrorists under the twisted US Government definition of the word. They have secured the Canadian boarder going so far as splitting towns that straddle it, separating families, if not deporting families from their homes of generations.
Like some Canadian is going to commit a terrorist act against the US, come on, Mexico is full of individuals who want to destroy the US. They stopped the fence and virtual fence going up along the boarder. They even admitted they had no intent of putting it up.
Wake the hell up. This is just a ploy to silence alternative outlets to the mainstream media the government and corporations to control with using these sites as a test to see how far they can push us.
People are missing the point of how this is an illegal law they were trying to pass. It would be like a state trying to prosecute an individual for a crime not taking place within it's boarders. Let me put it in a way that the mentally inept supporting it will understand.
If an individual has sex with a minor who is 14 and the age of consent in the state is 14, which there are plenty of states that this is legal age, and the state they are from is 16 for consent or even 18, their state of residence then tries to prosecute them for the crime. They were never in the state together never mind had sex in it. That is an illegal prosecution and would not hold up and I am not promoting sex with a minor using this example, just proving a point.
What this law would have done is no different because it would allow for the prosecution of crimes legal in another country under US law. It does not matter that it is on the Internet. The activity is taking place elsewhere. That is fascism like the Nazis committed in Germany or the scummy activities of countries like the Communist regimes of the former Soviet Union and China have and are committing today.
The only difference is that it is corporations running things when the US is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, not corporations. It is why the Founding Fathers made corporations limited and they were illegal except for rare cases that involved things like public works projects with the fact the corporations had to be dissolved after completion of the works project.
They were never intended to gain the power or lobby they have except the Rockefeller, Ford, Rothschild, and other elitist families bribed them into permanent existence with government officials in order to protect themselves from their own illegal activities causing them to rot in jail for the rest of their lives.
Sony for example, one of the biggest supporters of the DMCA and this law when it was pending, is one of the biggest criminal organizations on the face of the planet and profits daily from it's illegal activities.
A prime example of this being the ATSC standard in which it bribed all the members of the Grand Alliance to put AC3 Dolby Digital into the standard. In doing so every American has been forced to pay licensing and royalties on every television, ATSC converter box, and any other related technology. When it came out those in the FCC it has obviously bribed and those in congress as well covered it up and swept it under the rug.
So lets say Sony has lost some money from "illegal" downloads, which 99.995% fall under the right to fair use considering downloading a TV episode because one missed it first run and didn't get to record it is just that. What about the billions if not possibly trillions of dollars illegally extorted by them through the ATSC standard from the people?
Don't you think that illegal gain far exceeds any losses they may have incurred? What about Sony's illegal use of the DMCA to kill competition or opposing view points to it, along with all the other corporations who have used it for the same purpose? How about the fact Sony of America, like Toyota of America is controlled by foreign interests in Japan and with that illegally lobbying as foreign nationals?
How about the fact with Sony owning CBS illegally covered up the DMCA and had it's news agencies lying to the people about what it entailed while adding the provisions to US law regarding encryption or any other copyright protection scheme in secret. How about how it then used the encryption provisions to falsely stimulate the sales of HDTV's after most upgraded when it introduced HDCP to the HDTV standards?
In the 1980's when the people still had a voice in congress and there was a free press, there was an overwhelming objection to Sony buying Columbia Pictures and Television because everyone back then knew something like this illegal takeover of congress though lobbyists and PAC's would happen and the people would only suffer while loosing their rights.
If Sony wants to see people go to jail for right to fair use, what about all of those involved in it's illegal influence in the US government or the criminal activities it has perpertrated? Shouldn't they be rotting in a cell next to the average citizen worrying about being anally raped by a big guy named Bubba in the showers?
For it's activities, all of Sony's assets should be seized, restitution should be paid to everyone who owns an HDTV, computer monitor, video card, or any other device where AC3 or HDCP was illegally leveraged, and yet you don't hear people bringing all of this up. Maybe people should because if they did, then Sony might tell the others to back off because they could loose everything owned in the US and have their goods banned from being sold here being a criminal organization. No individual or corporation is supposed to be able to profit from criminal activities, yet Sony has made billions if not trillions over the years from it's illegal activities.
With that, what is good for the goose, is good for the gander, and Sony should be held to the same laws we are expected to be held to along with all the other companies involved in the draconian BS!

The people who support legislation like this are missing the point!
