The SOPA bill

[DGFone]

Also remember that a few companies spent a large sum of money trying to pass this bill. They won't give up without a fight.
But we won't either.

What companies?

It helps create jobs? By shutting down websites, which earn money through advertising revenue? For some people, being an owner of a site is their job. Again just full proof logic by your government there, I am truly jealous of how intelligent they are demonstrating themselves to be, by the way I was being factitious.

I think we should give up. Tbh, I'm getting really sick and tired of people constantly complaining about this stupid bill. If it passes, it passes. The internet's been going downhill big time anyway, so as most people say, let's just move on. <.<

Sorry for sounding really harsh, but seriously, let's not whine constantly over this. There's nothing we can do about this anyway. I'm already planning on leaving several sites if the bill does get passed. I'm sorry, but this is how I feel right now. I'm done dealing with stuff like this anyway. ^^;

Then perhaps you don't need to post in this thread.

This is the worst post I have ever seen. o_0

Err, this is a discussion board for a reason. We're not whining, we're simply stating our opinion on the matter. If you wish to stop discussing about it, then you can simply avoid this thread.

Aaaaanyways, I'm really against this. It's just a huge violation to human rights, as others have mentioned. =/ I still doubt it will be passed, but it's really starting to worry me.

So just let the bill pass because you can not be bothered to fight against it, or even state a negative opinion on it? You sound like a real pushover, I hope you don't let everyone in life influence you that way. Not hating on you, but your logic in that post seems a little odd to put it politely.

Not quite IMO, but if it had ponies it would be up there.

It's just a huge violation to human rights, as others have mentioned.

Not really. You as an internet user do no have the right to exploit sites that potentially offer free copyrighted material. For example TLK 2 is on youtube in its entirety, and in decent quality too. Sure the person who uploaded it is the real offender there but if you watch it on there (and almost everything on there belongs to some company or another) then you infringe the copyright laws, though YouTube is governed by its three strike policy meaning that viewers are not held accountable for anything. Sorry but the bill if anything protects human rights, as artists and creators they have the right to expect their content to not be available for free online.
Not that I support it in the slightest though.

HA HA very funny. >.>

I said it was a bad post because of how horribly pessimistic it was.

Actually, the bill doesn't support human rights. What it wants to do is enforce copyrights so that people will have to pay for products. This is a good thing.

But the way it goes about enforcing copyright is the big issue. Currently, if you think that a someone is infringing copyright against you, you go get evidence, go to a court, show your evidence, and then the judge decides if you are correct or not. Often times, the defendant gets to defend themselves and try to explain why they are or are not infringing.

The bill wants to bypass this due process of the law and allow the immediate silencing and disposal of anything that is even suspected of breaking copyright. No court, no warning, nothing. Only the big companies that hold copyrights have a say, as in "I think that person X is infringing with their website." BAM! Person X has their website removed from all search engines, the funding immediately cut off, and the only way to access is is by direct IP address.

SOPA doesn't protect human rights. It protects copyrights. In the worst way possible. Sorry Flip, but you got it all wrong.
