PLEASE, Arceus, don't let it be true Like, everything I watch is content being used without permission!

Hehe, I'm in Canada and so far, judging by the amounts of people in Canada who do that, Canada will not follow. Like, C'mon. Really? You're going to be that legit about this. Good thing my mom didn't decide to live in USA..

FREEDOM <3

The government is going into a gun fight with a knife. They can pass the law, but with proxies and special ip changing programs it will be very hard to implement any sort of system of filtration. Also, once you start taking peoples internet rights away...well...Egypt. That is all. LOL

I love how year after year congress works harder to make the US more of a non-free country. Signed, though I have no idea if this is outdated yet. As already mentioned, practically everything on the internet would become illegal. This bill is just plain silly. Jails would be overflowed within 12 hours or less, I'm sure. You'd expect people of high authority to have more common sense in this world.

This does not just effect the USA, YouTube for example, is a USA based company so if the bill were to be passed, no matter where in the world you are you would be affected.

This is old news. Is it still a concern?

The law is more ridiculous than a banana riding a unicycle.

In space.

I don't think we need to worry about this any more, it is very old.

America won't do it though. The web isn't something you tame. It's not like there is tangible evidence or tangible products. You can try your best to throw in cyber police, but it won't fix anything. When there's a product, and prohibition, there's criminals who get rich off of it
