So, remember that SOPA bill that everyone got so pissed off about? Ireland seems to think that passing the exact same bill here is a fantastic idea that people aren't going to RAGE about.

Apparently they don't plan on voting on it, and instead are just going to do it without running it passed anyone. I don't know when exactly it's going to happen, but they said they want it in effect before February.

So I guess I'm just putting this here to let everyone know that if I end up disappearing randomly without warning, dreamwidth probably got blocked because it infringes copyright or something idek. The irish government is a bunch of old men who don't understand how the internet works, so chances are everything will get blocked.

My AIM is Kurikirin, if by some chance anyone wants it. Again this might not happen if enough people speak against it, but I honestly have no idea how this will end up so I just think it's a better idea to put this up just in case instead of leaving it till the last minute.

Wait, the Irish government doesn't even vote on bills? They just enact crap without talking about it?

That's scary.

I just looked it all up, and yeah, this is really horrible. I wish I had suggestions, but without a vote, I don't know what really could be done in protest, other than maybe endless protesting of the Minister's offices themselves.

Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.

Ireland is like one of the most backwards countries ever, they don't know how to do anything right pretty much.

It's cool it's cool. Now I know whose house to crash at when I someday snap and go on a penniless hitchhiking world tour.

You can totally hitchhike on airplanes. That's legal.
