Currently, Wikipedia Has Protested SOPA and PIPA

SOPA or abbreviation of the Stop Online Piracy Act, a bill introduced by one U.S. representative, Lamar Smith Seeligson submitted to the Congress of the United States.

What is SOPA?

Quoted from Wikipedia about what it SOPA. Slightly more complete than the explanation above, and sufficient to explain what it is SOPA.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), That is a bill was introduced in the United States House of Representatives by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors. The bill expands the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and Counterfeit goods.

SOPA objectives proposed

The goal is to stop the SOPA proposed adverse action the copyright holder (Copyright) piracy or counterfeiting of intellectual property rights on the internet and provide breadth of rights for law enforcement to follow up.

Effect and influence of SOPA

In accordance with SOPA objectives, namely to stop piracy or things that harm the copyright holder, then it will effect a profound effect on what is contained in the Internet world today.

One example is when SOPA be applied to the government of the United States reserves the right to block or even delete the website / blog (seen) copyright infringement (copyright).

They (USA) reserves the right to instruct all of the services still take shelter in their legislation, such as hosting services, the Registrant (domain service provider), online payment service, and even search engine services to cut off access or contact to your website / blog that is seen breaking of copyright.
SOPA, its Pros and Cons

Many people who support the existence of this SOPA, like GoDaddy for instance. GoDaddy is a provider of hosting services and also registrar. If SOPA is passed, then the party will stop service to GoDaddy domains are considered copyright infringement.

This situation is also utilized by other services against SOPA. They (like hostgator, namecheap, or name.com) even issued a discount coupon for anyone who wishes to move a domain from Godaddy to their service.

Some large sites that oppose SOPA include: Google, AOL, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Zynga, and of course WordPress which campaigns to combat SOPA in one posting - Help Stop SOPA / PIPE. Do not forget, Matt Cutts, the Google engineer also campaigned reject SOPA - Progress against SOPA.
Knot

And now Wikipedia, has been running a protest action, as in the image below

Agree to disagree, like it or not, SOPA is a product and monopoly practices on behalf of copyright protection (copyright). How about you? Supporting SOPA? or opponents?

Google Has Re-Index Co.CC From Their Search Engine

Good news for lovers of a free domain name primarily Co.CC because the domain has been in the index returned by Google.

This came after James Kim, manager of Co.CC. complaint against Google which specify a co.cc action unilaterally. content following complaints made ​​by James Kim on Google Webmaster Help:

---

This is General Manager from co.cc. I tried to contact to General Manager of Google but I haven’t got any reply from him. Therefore, I post my message in here to ask you forward this to him.

I know the reason that Google deindex to co.cc because it has high ration of malicious sites and low quality sites. However, I don’t think it is right decision that Google just block the whole domain which has 10 millions co.cc sites and 200millions webpages without any notice to us.

Within total co.cc sites, the fraction of malicious sites is not over 0.01%. We have block malicious domains that we got this information from many major vaccine companies including Trend Micro and Symantect since 2010. And also, according to Spamhaus advices, if there is any new domain set, we are checking whether the server IP is not list to Spamhaus Block List. In addition, once we get malicious domains information from major vaccine companies every day, we are promptly doing Shinkhole. With these kinds of serious monitoring and taking prompt actions, the ratio of operating malicious domains have been not over 0.01%.

We have no right to force internet users making high quality web pages. It is obviously to overstep our authority. Each internet user has their own right to make their website and it is their ability to do so.

As you know, xxx.blogspot.com and facebook.com/xxx have about 70%~80% that have been just setting there without any caring. On the other words, those are actually low-quality sites. I have a question to you. “Can you deindex those *.blogspot.com and facebook.com/* sites? Your Google-robot is already smart enough, so those low-quality sites are rarely exposure due to falling into behind of dominant searches. If necessary, you might need to make more smart Google robot.

In addition, there isn't any notice that “if goole Apps and blogger.com Users set cutomdomain to use co.cc, they will get any disadvantages.” You should know that there are thousands users for the apps, blogger and google-sites are using co.cc domain as their custom domains.

Moreover, you have never noticed to those users that they will get any disadvantages if they use .co.cc(SLD). Nevertheless, it is no right thing to deindex all those sites.

We always supply our all domains information and zone files to vaccine company if request. Whenever they request to us, we are always to prepare for it. We will accept any difficult request from you and we even take serious positive consideration if we need to sell co.cc.

If we take much longer time, thousands users will have more loss from it. We and you all know that someone should take responsibility for their losses which cannot take it back.

We are looking forward to hearing your reply soon.

Sincerely,

James kim legal@co.cc phone number: +82319196171

That the contents of the complaint of James Kim, as the General Manager of Co.CC.

The question are, whether the free domain will influence whether Google's SERP and later can be freely to de-index Co.CC?

We`ll See!

Earn Money With WordAds by Wordpress

Hello everyone, today I get the news from WordPress which states that they have a new product for publishers. product is called WordAds and they claim their product is better than Adsense, is it true? see the following message from WordPress.

Introducing WordAds by jonburke

Over the years one of the most frequent requests on WordPress.com has been to allow bloggers to earn money from their blog through ads. We've resisted advertising so far because most of it we had seen wasn't terribly tasteful, and it seemed like Google's AdSense was the state-of-the-art, which was sad. You pour a lot of time and effort into your blog and you deserve better than AdSense.

Well we think we've cracked it, and we're calling it WordAds.

Blogs are unique and they shouldn't be treated like every other page on the internet. There are more than 50,000 WordPress-powered blogs coming online every day, and every time I explore them randomly I'm always surprised and delighted by how people are using the platform to express themselves.

As a WordPress user you're breathing rarefied air on the internet: the Creators, the Independents. Creative minds aren't satisfied being digital sharecroppers on someone else's domain, and you want to carve out your own piece of the internet and have a space that you're proud of because it's so... you.

If you're going to have advertising on your site, it darn well better be good, and beginning with our partnership with Federated Media we're ready to start rolling out WordAds here on WordPress.com.

If the above is something you'd be interested in, fill out this form to let us know a bit about yourself.

You excited to try?

The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, often dubbed the “Google Guys”, while the two were attending Stanford University as PhD candidates. It was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998, and its initial public offering followed on August 19, 2004.

At that time Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt agreed to work together at Google for twenty years, until the year 2024. The company’s mission statement from the outset was “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”, and the company’s unofficial slogan – coined by Google engineer Amit Patel and supported byPaul Buchheit – is “Don’t be evil”. In 2006, the company moved to its current headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Of course, if we think what happens if google will go from the Internet world, certainly the majority of internet users will lose a very valuable treasure.
