I think Gibbs' theme song for most of (Un)Covered is "You Love Me To Hate You" by KISS --

-- right up until that record scratch moment when DiNozzo makes it plain that, NO, they aren't on the same page at ALL, really...

(Except in a backwards sort of way where she does do things to piss him off on purpose in order to amuse him, but unlike the girl in the song, she doesn't think she's getting anywhere or has a chance and furthermore, being DiNozzo, just desperately wants Gibbs' love and approval.)

So, what would be "better" than SOPA?

If it were INTERNATIONAL!

Meet ACTA. ACTA stands for Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, an international trade agreement currently negotiated by the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia, and more. The negotiations have been SECRET. Leaked documents pertaining to those secret negotiations reveal alarming curtailing of personal liberty for internet users on a global scale. Learn more about ACTA here and here.

From the EFF page:
"The agreement requires signatory countries to “endeavor to promote cooperative efforts within the business community” to address copyright and trademark infringement. This could lead to “voluntary agreements” by Internet intermediaries to restrict Internet access and to monitor and censor Internet communications under threat of legislation or criminal sanctions. Read together with ACTA’s broad injunction powers, this will exacerbate existing pressures on Internet intermediaries to monitor, censor and block online communications, and stifle freedom of expression across the globe."

Last year The UN declared internet access a Human Right. Doesn't it seem like governments have been working hard on ways to violate that right ever since?
