    Save the Internet

    These debates are so very important right now. The controversy over copyright law and censorship are going to become more intense and important in our everyday lives. Senator Orrin Hatch suggested over a decade ago that the Government be able to blow up computers without due process if you can imagine that. But they did it with the NDAA- why not with the Internet? http://www.dethronehatch.com/orrin-hatch-is-no-friend-of-the-internet/

    Internet War

    The Government isn't going to give up the fight for control over the Internet because the Internet is probably the best tool for combating Government control over the people. It spreads ideas and keeps people informed and helps educate. Senator Orrin Hatch proposed over a decade ago that the Government throw out due process and start remotely blowing up computers that engage in online piracy. They threw out due process with the NDAA- don't you think they'd do it against the Internet as well? http://www.dethronehatch.com/orrin-hatch-is-no-friend-of-the-internet/

    Internet war

    The Government has already taken down many websites without due process, what if they start destroying computers!? Senator Orrin Hatch suggested that very thing over a decade ago. http://www.dethronehatch.com/orrin-hatch-is-no-friend-of-the-internet/

    IP Law

    IP Law shouldn't have existed in the first place. It creates unnatural scarcity. Scarcity shouldn't be created because nobody has a right to the value of ones product, this ought to solely be determined by the free market. If nature decides that an idea isn't scarce, why do we allow Government to literally create value by creating a monopoly and creating scarcity. Let the free market exclude non-payers and reinforce value, not monopolized force (Government)
    Senator Orrin Hatch suggests the Government start blowing up computers without due process- this is where IP Law will lead in this brilliant technological world. http://www.dethronehatch.com/orrin-hatch-is-no-friend-of-the-internet/

    Government takedowns

    Just wait until the Government states initiating take downs without due process- just like the NDAA- it's going to follow.

    Ideas rule

    The Internet represents the ultimate database for ideas for a free people. This is why the Government is going to be continuously relentless in their attacks and advances to regulate it. Senator Orrin Hatch says the Government should be blowing up computers without due process to combat online piracy. Could it lead to this? This was over a decade ago. http://www.dethronehatch.com/orrin-hatch-is-no-friend-of-the-internet/

    IP is a joke

    Movie theaters create their own ticket booths to exclude non-payers so they can have value in their product. Why should the Government build ticket booths for industries that utilize the internet? If the free market can't provide adequate fences/ticket booths to exclude non-payers we SHOULD NOT ask the Government to do it- they always screw everything up. Senator Hatch says the Government should DESTROY computers without due process. http://www.dethronehatch.com/orrin-hatch-is-no-friend-of-the-internet/

    hilarious

    Senator Orrin Hatch wants the Government to literally start blowing up hundreds of thousands of computers without due process. http://www.dethronehatch.com/orrin-hatch-is-no-friend-of-the-internet/

    Enemies of the Internet

    One of the biggest enemies of the Internet in Washington is Senator Orrin Hatch. He authored the original COICA (Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act), co-sponsored SOPA/PIPA, and also believes the Government should blow up a few hundred thousand computers without due process to help people "get the picture."

    Senator Hatch

    We can't let this slide: Senator Hatch has said it would help the fight against piracy if the Government would destroy a few hundred thousand computers. I wonder if it could really come to that.

    Senator Hatch

    What we should be afraid of is threats from the Government to rebuttal these attacks from Anonymous etc. Senator Hatch thinks the Government should start blowing up computers without due process.

    Government is Trespassing

    The Government doesn't build fences and ticket booths for movie theaters to exclude non payers. The Government should not be assigning scarcity to that which has no scarcity. If people want to protect the value of their products, that is for them to do. Nobody has a right to the value of their home. That is determined by the free market. This is not the proper role of Government- they'll screw everything up. If people want to use the Internet, they better have the technology to protect their products, or at least be able to go after those who steal- then the Government can prosecute them. It is not the job of the Government to manage ticket booths for everyone's products. Senator Orrin Hatch thinks the Government should start blowing up computers without due process- this is where the road is leading.... http://www.dethronehatch.com/orrin-hatch-is-no-friend-of-the-internet/

    NOT TRUE

    Actually my friends there is evidence that GOOGLE and all these other companies that would benefit from such Legislation have actually been FUNDING the Bills to get them passed- they're saying two different things. http://blog.experts-exchange.com/ee-tech-news/sopa-update-blackouts-pacs-and-a-little-bit-of-irony/

    Internet rules

    Technology is allowing us to do amazing things- including our ability to escape physical limitations, or scarcity in many respects. Senator Orrin Hatch, and all the rest of em- want to arbitrarily assign scarcity to things that aren't naturally scarce. Senator Hatch received MILLIONS over SOPA/PIPA. http://sopatrack.com/congressperson/H000338-sen-orrin-hatch
    He's one of the most outspoken advocates for Internet regulation. He's said that a few hundred thousand computers ought to be destroyed to help people "get the picture."
