Excpt this one is a bit more [tornado fang]'d up.

http://www.techeye.net/internet/combating-online-infringement-and-counterfeits-act-riles-rights-groups

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-segal/stop-the-internet-blackli_b_739836.html

And heres a petition

http://demandprogress.org/blacklist/

So yeah. Discuss?

I honestly dont know why they bother with ridiculous [parasitic bomb] like this when its useless to try to stop people from pirating.
I mean, Jesus Christ, not only is it senseless and useless, but censoring the internet? really?

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Well that sucks...

It's rather simple to sign the petition, so why not? I went for it.

Yet again? Haven't they learned by now that they can't stop piracy today? They had all the time to quell these activities a long time ago, but failed to influince predjudice against pirates which made piracy a common sight today (and roms, roms EVERYWHERE, but that's a good thing that came out of piracy). >.>

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

Sadly, this will affect more than piracy. It's an internet blacklist for Pete's sake.

Well thats the problem with it. Its not just an Anti Piracy Bill, its an Internet Censorship bill.

Not quite. The company/publisher/creator/whatever still loses a lot of money from sales that COULD have been made, and if someone is selling the product themselves, that money goes directly to them. You'd be very upset too if you spent a lot of time and money and got a lot less actual profit back or even if someone stole your work and profitted from it. You'd have fans, sure, if it was popular. But you'd be discouraged from making more material if you knew it was going to be seen for free.

Also,it does make a copy of it, but sometimes the quality is not as great as the original.

Of course, most pirates wouldn't buy it in the first place even if it wasn't possible to pirate, so it's not so much a matter of sales as pride.

...[tornado fang]ing Internet Censorship.

I can only hope that, should the petition fail, dedicated hackers will find a way to annihilate the system they use for that.

Come on, guys-who-think-this-[parasitic bomb]-is-a-good-idea. It's not, and it's futile.

I received an e-mail from the petition site.
Quote
Thanks to your help, we got the Internet blacklist bill tabled until after the election. But now the big guys are fighting back: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce just sent a letter demanding the Senate pass the bill as soon as they come back in November.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is one of the most powerful groups in Washington -- you may have heard about the $75 million they're spending this year to get their favorite politicians elected. That's on top of hundreds of millions they've already spent on lobbyists. If they're going to take us on, we need to fight back.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce draws support from local businesses all across the country who join through local chambers of commerce. Many of these locals have no idea about the extreme agenda their money is supporting. So we're letting them know -- and pressuring them to quit today.

There's another petition to sign but it's the same quick-and-easy form to fill out, so it's hardly a hassle.

A black list is not the answer by far. It will only serve to [acid burst] everyone off.

We do not live in red China, or in some third world islam country. This is the [tornado fang]ing United States of America. Land of the FREE, incase you have not notice there SENATE.

Sometimes I wonder why our politicians want to turn this great country into the soviet union or some ass backwards muslim dust ball.
