Want More Jailbreak? Then Join Us to Stop SOPA!!!

Summary : The American congressional SOPA and PIPA bills threaten to destroy the internet as we know it, supplanting the free flow of information with a far-reaching, blanketed, mindless censorship the likes of which we’ve only seen in the most dystopian of popular fiction.

The American congressional SOPA and PIPA bills threaten to destroy the internet as we know it, supplanting the free flow of information with a far-reaching, blanketed, mindless censorship the likes of which we’ve only seen in the most dystopian of popular fiction.
And, unfortunately, jailbreakers might be more immediately affected than anyone (if that’s even possible). iDownloadBlog explained:
Even though the US Government made jailbreaking legal back in 2010, the distribution of jailbreaking software could be deemed illegal under SOPA because it contains Apple’s [reversed-engineered] IP. That would mean that one phone call from the Cupertino company could effectively shut down sites that host the software.
Of course, Apple is against the ratification of SOPA and PIPA (we think!), and it’s unlikely Cook and company would turn totally adversarial at the bang of an approving gavel. Still, it’s definitely some (rotten) food for thought, and we hope it’s the impetus you need to get those emails and phone calls out to your state representatives ASAP.
