[quote="TheGunner18"]Well, I suppose now that they've taken care of a certain terrorist they'll be focusing a lot more on the 'Homefront' as they called it. I really don't see the point in trying to get this bill passed if I'm being honest. There'll be so much backlash that it'll soon become too much to handle. The modern world practically revolves around the Internet now. It's a fact of life. Freedom. They can't take that away from us.[/quote]
It probably will not get passed, but you know it is a US law right? Not a UK one.
That said though, it still does effect us, because if you upload to a USA site (which YouTube is) then that site is going to still remove your videos and stuff if there is copyrighted stuff in there.
On another note, if anyone is interested enough, you can track the progress of this law here -
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s112-978@Kopa23. Most companies use the internet as a free form of advertising anyway, so really not even the greedy companies want this passed. Literally the only people who care about it, in any form, is the USA government lol.
Like if you look up a band on YouTube, and then like a few of their songs, odds are (for me at least) I am going to go out and buy the album, so if anything they actually will loose out more from this IMO.
