Couldn't stop SOPA by making the internet into a country?

Think about this. Logically, the internet does in fact take up physical space, maybe we can't see it, but we KNOW that it does take up space... kind of. Wifi areas/cables everywhere all CONTAIN the internet along with huge fucking servers everywhere.

Every time you use the computer you are technically "visiting" the internet. You are usually a citizen if you create a account and talk to people anywhere if you really think about it. You are given rights and rules in each site much like a country is run.

Many people also spend more time on the damn internet than they do their own countries... WOW players are counted in on this.

Sure, it would be hard as fuck to figure out the political shit that could happen with all this, I won't pretend about this, I have no fucking idea what would happen if the internet somehow decided to be it's own independent country... but overall, I think it would be for the best. No one could literally control it, and actions AGAINST it such as destroying servers/hacking could even be as serious as terrorism is and enforced far better by people who are EMPLOYED by the internet to find these fuckers than the governments of the world.

also, other countries couldn't even TRY to fuck with the internet due to how powerful it really is anymore. China and australia would have to get over the fact that the internet is a free fucking country and deal with people visiting it freely without things that prevent peoples rights online who either visit or are citizens.

Just my 2 cents on the whole idea I made up here. Sure, may not be my smartest idea... but what the hell are you guys thinking about doing to stop this shitty ass bill?

Naming myself King of the Internetz.

The only physical space the internet really takes up is the physical locations of servers that host the web content, and infrastructure that allow us access to the web content.  And that physical space already resides in the sovereign territory of various states.

Are you Kojima?

The internet is in all of us, mannnnnnnn.

Better idea than just waiting for some outer force to fuck with us. Might as well do something about it!

I'm running for President of the Internet. I need a running mate and some dudes to fill cabinet positions. /b/ already volunteered to handle foreign relations.

@Scooper: This dude right here knows whats upp, maaaaaaaan

That internet really tied the room together. Now they're going to fucking pee on it.

You're right about one thing...this isn't the smartest idea to stop SOPA.

Heyyyyy!! Don't try and put me in a box, copppp!!!! Are you a cop?

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhahahahaha.........

The internet is the true free nation!

Yep, this will work. I'll get right on it for you.

I'm not kidding when I say that I've never seen the OP actually post a good thread.

Considering turning the internet into a country before we have all our rights taken away is better than just doing fuck nothing.

Also, search some of my blogs man. I talked pretty indepth about FF7 vs FF13 in one of them. I sugguest grabbing a bag of doritos if you are gonna read it, it is gonna take a while.

Fuck it, why not.

Actually, no it isn't, because all this does is prove that you have no idea how anything works.

Seriously, to even suggest this legitimately as an idea with any amount of merit behind it marks you as either an idiot or a child.

Considering Pirate radio was invented on the very reasons I am stating. I think this is something that could actually happen. Hell. I even said I have no clue how much political shit would go down. But, overall, it would be for the better if the internet was independent completely. Not fucked with by anyone. This SOPA bill is the exact same thing as basically the United States going into Sweden to make them our slaves. It is that insane of bullshit the bill truly is.

Also, Considering the fact that pirating is now an official religon and the fact that men in south Korea can marry their pillows/DS games. I think the internet becoming a country is actually less crazy then actual real life shit.

At least someone is thinking outside the box. You go Jay. 444111...

@penINC: I know you must be irritated by the OP because you have little patience, but you really don't really need to sound like a TOTAL jackass.

Thank you.

Our public school system has failed us.

This is so stupid

The point of the internet is to connect people from different locations.

The Internet itself isn't a location, we only treat it that way in conversations so that we don't sound like crazy people.

Trying to apply geographic ideas to connections doesn't work.

TLDR: You're a crazy person.

Considering the government is trying to pass this bill, this happened A LOOOOOOOOONG time ago.

The internet is a location in all technicalities. so... why AREN'T we trying to become a country? It would take work, but it could happen. Hell, if a man in south korea can marry a pillow, I am willing to accept anything as possible in terms of insane human behavior and logic.

@Jay444111: Yes, yes this is all a very nice idea. However, given that the internet is run by both governments and corporations the chances of such a thing or nil to none.

I mean think about it, you need some corp just to get you a line to the internet. All anyone has to do is shut-down the whole thing and watch as you all scream in horror. So unless you plan on downloading your consciousness into the internet your fucked.

In the end no matter how much you may hate or dislike both governments and the corporations, they must exist for modern society to exist. For example: Without Apple or Microsoft you wouldn't have that little piece of tech that your using to get online right now. Another one would be, the fact that if we didn't have governments and nations you wouldn't have a home let alone a city to live in. The faster you get over it all, and learn to accept the facts that this reality has given us the quicker you can just move on.

Hell, if a man in south korea can marry a pillow, I am willing to accept anything as possible in terms of insane human behavior and logic.

I'm scared that you took time to write this...

@Jay444111: The closest thing actually possible to what you're suggesting already exists in Anonymous. Aside from that, this is just mad rambling. It's like you enjoy irritating people with nonsense.

And then if you do finally turn the Internet into a country, the US will still block access to it from US soil.

Just like your friends in China.

LOL, I really hope you're joking about this "country" thing because it's quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read on the Internet.. and that's saying something. XD

I do agree, however, that there should be some kind of international law that protects the Internet from certain people or groups that want to fuck it up.

Where do I sign up?

Jay 444111......never stop. EVER. What people fail to realize is that you aren't actually a human-being at all. you're an amalgamation of annoying, totally meaningless ideas, arguments and cliches that has somehow achieved sentience. You have no ability whatsoever to reflect on what you say, you have no quality control. In a sense, YOU ARE THE INTERNET. So don't bother with turning the internet into a country, as long as entities like you exist, sopa will never win...

by the way, I think you're bullshitting about being native American too.

Internetland, hurray!

To be fair, it's more like "It's like people enjoy being irritated by nonsense." If something like this bothers you it's solely because, for some reason (maybe mild masochism?), you enjoy being bothered by things.

This is so crazy, there is no chance that it might work!!!

Need a Secretary for Defense?

How do I become a citizen of the internet? Do working Visa's exist? oh oh, does the internet have a temporary working holiday visa? that would be swell.

Seriously, you have no idea the requirements of creating a country, or how the internet is integrated into the worlds current laws. Good day sir.

Or, OR, if the internet is a bunch of servers, then does that mean that each server thats in another country becomes an illegal migrant? Or do they require special 'internetic diplomat' status?

Dear God, another moronic Jay thread. Dude, this idea sounds like it was thought up during a fever dream after chugging an entire bottle of Nyquil and huffing paint thinner.

You should devote all your time to making this work, don't worry about posting updates we all believe in you.

Great so now I'm supporting SOPA.
