The Absurd (Unconstitutional) Photo Manipulation Bill
If you are following us on Facebook or Twitter (and if not, why not?), you’ll notice we posted two news stories about the Georgia state Government this past week. One was on a broadband limitation bill, and the other relates to online photo manipulation.
Our response to the broadband bill was published yesterday, but the response to the photo-manipulation bill requires more detail than a simple press release can convey.
As you can probably guess, we’re obviously in opposition to this. It’s a clear example of tantrum-based legislation ("I don't like this, so it needs to be dealt with"), driven by a deep ignorance of the fundamental laws of the United States, and the principles of which the country stands.

[PR] PPGa Opposes Internet Investment Limiting Bill
For Immediate Release
The Pirate Party of Georgia categorically opposes HB282 and its attempts to cripple competition for the ingrained ISP’s and their currently woeful service.
The bill is an attempt to restrict the ability of local residents and their communities to provide services they feel they need because of poor commercial offerings.
In a nutshell, the bill says that After July 1st, anyone in a census block area where the National Broadband Map shows at least one provider offering a connection with at least 1.5Mbit in one direction, cannot implement any sort of municipal wifi or home broadband scheme.
It’s the worst sort of crony protectionism that is not in the interests of the people of Georgia. Instead it only seeks to line the pockets of the major incumbent ISPs.
