Florida is the kind of place people go when they are on vacation; they end up on probation; and they return on revocation. Period. And this feeling I have isn’t just from my recent soirée down there, either. I thought about making the title to the article Fuck Florida: Jeb Bush Finally Got A Bill To Make Daddy Happy, but I didn’t want to deal with every white racist from the National Association of Mortgage Field Services (NAMFS) knocking on my door. It wasn’t that I was afraid they would hurt me, it was that ammunition is in tight supply right now. 😉
The fact of the matter is I have been down there many times in the past as an enlisted man; a civilian; and a hacker.
Many of you remember the SOPA/PIPA fight which Foreclosurepedia stood behind to the last man. During those protests Wikipedia and many other websites, including Foreclosurepedia, went dark for 24 hours. Although I had only recently begun to comprehend the true evil of Eric Miller and his Fucked Up Band Of Fraudsters, the reality is that not a single National Association of Mortgage Field Services (NAMFS) Member supported privacy for US Citizens — Even Craigslist protested and we ALL KNOW how those fucktard Recruiters troll the Contractor Personals, otherwise known as the General Labor Section, there!
The Florida legislature is currently considering two bills, HB 271 and SB 604 (otherwise known as the True Origin of Digital Goods Act), and they’re problematic. Why? The bills would essentially require website owners and operators that provide commercial streaming services to place on their website personal identifying information such as their……true name, address, etc. If a website owner or operator violates the law, then the website may be subject to a take down.
All of you remember when that hag Carol Boyd decided to defraud Disabled Wartime Veterans on the VA Contract handled by VRM. Some will remember that a Complaint was filed against Foreclosurepedia with respect to a Podcast we aired on the Foreclosurepdia YouTube Channel. Now, only two people could have had standing to do that: Carol Boyd or Eric Miller as he is empowered to represent NAMFS. Foreclosurepedia protested to Google and we prevailed. Fuck Eric Miller and Carol Boyd!
Anonymous speech is a vital part of the American free speech tradition and of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Artists, writers, and citizens rely on the freedom to speak anonymously through blogs, independent news sites, amateur video and music, and other websites and services. They rely on anonymity to voice unpopular opinions and speak truth to power without fear of harassment or reprisals at work or at home.
What’s even worse, this bill is ineffective because the Digital Millennium Copyright Act already covers these concerns. This new law isn’t only unnecessary in order for Florida to enforce federal copyright or trademark laws—it actually creates a new avenue for legal abuse. Anyone “aggrieved” by an anonymous website owner could take that owner to court, without having to show legal harm. How does that promote Internet free speech?
The reality is that from the Industry point-of-view, I’ve never had any love for Florida. Now, many of you in the Industry live there and that is great if it works for you. The reality, though, is that Florida is a veritable Police State. Either you are a retiree and are supporting the Fraternal Order of Police or you are on your way to one of those new privatized jails which are used to bolster up the reelection campaign fund events of a retiree whom supports the Fraternal Order of Police.
