发帖数: 60932 | 1 Boycott SOPA: An Android app that terrifies publishers and politicians
Armchair activists now have a tool that can transport their SOPA
protestations into the real world: Boycott SOPA, a free Android app that
scans barcodes and tells you whether an object's manufacturer/publisher is a
supporter of the much maligned Stop Online Piracy Act.
The Stop Online Piracy Act could negatively restrict your freedoms even
while on you post a negative opinion or link to something the Powers-that-
be don't like.

Here's how the user-driven app works:
If you've ever scanned a barcode on your Android phone to look up a book or
CD on Amazon, Boycott SOPA works in exactly the same way: First you have to
install the ZXing Barcode Scanner app, but then you simply go around
pointing your phone's camera at product barcodes. Boycott SOPA gives you a
big red cross if the product is distributed by a SOPA supporter, or a green
tick if it's "clean." Much to my chagrin, Coca-Cola supports SOPA -- but
Smirnoff, on the other hand, does not. If you ever needed a sign from Above
that you ought to drink more, there it is.
Please hlep by keeping our internet the way it is now....not the way big
government believes it should be. Aren't there enough regulations as it is?
