About Me

edit

My name is Jason. I'm an avid lifelong gamer, and somewhat longish reader of Destructoid. Currently unemployed, my usual occupations are fixing PCs for people, replacing broken phone screens, and embarrassingly often, working behind a retail counter.

I tend to game on PC these days. Favorites of the last year were Cave Story+, Bastion, Portal 2, and E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy. I also play a MUD (multi-user dimension), because text-based gaming never got old to me.

Short Blog: White House responds to petittions about SOPA/PIPA
Aequitas \| 7:46 AM on 01.14.2012	1 comments

Just hit my email. Excerpts:

"Any effort to combat online piracy must guard against the risk of online censorship of lawful activity and must not inhibit innovation by our dynamic businesses large and small. [...] To minimize this risk, new legislation must be narrowly targeted only at sites beyond the reach of current U.S. law, cover activity clearly prohibited under existing U.S. laws, and be effectively tailored, with strong due process and focused on criminal activity."

"Proposed laws must not tamper with the technical architecture of the Internet through manipulation of the Domain Name System (DNS), a foundation of Internet security."

"This is not just a matter for legislation. We expect and encourage all private parties, including both content creators and Internet platform providers working together, to adopt voluntary measures and best practices to reduce online piracy."

For my part, I appreciate that they actually have people on staff who seem to understand the dangers of undermining DNS, and the potential for abuse. Pushing industry self-regulation is also smart, because when it works, it works pretty well (see: ESRB). Feels a little like they just want to wash their hands of a contentious issue, though.

The Silent Protagonist

As much as I'd like to believe that, if passed, that PIPA/SOPA would be vetoed I don't trust Obama period after he signed the NDAA after he said he would veto. Hollywood is also where he get some of his biggest support.

Don't believe me? He has a biopic coming out in October... that's no small coincidence considering it comes at the end of his campaign this year.
