The DCC: New Spring Edition coming soon 3/21!

[Mr Cat Dog]

I'm just glad Twitter's not signing up to the black-out. If this had happened last year, I'd be crying over Wikipedia's blackout, but I'm not as reliant on that as I am on Twitter. How am I going to know what brand of soap Kim Kardashian uses tomorrow, guys?!

 

[cacturne4512]

I'm more worried about Tumblr. How will I get my entertainment spoilers?!

I heard that there's a chance it either won't pass/it'll be filibustered/Veto'd by Obama. I'll go look for it.

 

[Shining Raichu]

If Obama vetoes it that'll be a great way to help his political ratings lol

 

[Netto Azure]

Well. The bills have broad bipartisan support fueled by RIAA money. So don't think "it won't pass" or something, unless pressure is kept up.

Next time it will probably be called the Stop Al Qaeda's Global Terrorism Network Act, like how those awful 5th Amendment shredding provisions were added in the NDRA. >__>

If this bill gets passed, there will be no more ROM Hacking. NOOOO!!!!

There won't be much of an internet in general. Any type of gameplay video, screenshots, even as much as a video of your little sister singing a pop song, would be illegal. It's a really scary prospect, and this bill is just a huge overreach and goes overboard to correct the piracy problem.

"I once had a bowl of sopa, but it tasted horrible. When took a pipa at that recipe, I exclaimed, 'NOPA!' "

 

[Kano Shuuya]

I don't think it'll pass.

There's entirely too many companies, and people who are fighting against it. Even the government itself uses, and relies on some of the websites that it mentioned destroying. - w - I just.. I don't see it passing, not even for a second. I signed the petition, but I'm barely worried at all. :/

 

[CapricornPsyche]

The ONLY way to combat piracy is for one to actually pay for some stuff (movies, music, etc) and even then it won't stop piracy all together...

 

[Yoshikko]

Yeah I doubt it will pass. At least I really hope it won't, I signed it anyway (as I did too a few months ago cause this was going on at that time as well), but yeah it's just such an incomprehensible idea to me, I can't really grasp it haha.

 

[Oryx]

The way for companies to combat piracy is to make things easy and convenient to buy. That's it.

 

[Happy Azumarill]

that means facebook, twitter and any social sites break the sopa, why sto freedom on the internet

 

[AshPikastar]

I believe it won't pass but this would mean I would have to stop my career as a video editor and I don't know how well Deivantart is going to be going as well.

This is the same government that's brought the U.S. to the cliff edge of economic shutdown on more than one occasion so I wouldn't be surprised if some crazies there actually wanted to make things worse.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I don't even know why this bill is still alive... honestly it'll hurt more companies than it'll help. Besides, some of the "illegal" content actually helps companies by creating public awareness of their products and services...

Oh wait, some companies/people/politicians are too dumb/crazy to realize that. My bad.

Still hope common sense somehow wins out over the crazies in government... otherwise the internet as we know it is doomed...

 

[Happy Azumarill]

the government want to make it hard for use to live, all they care is as long as they get there weekly wage, who cares runs through there mind

 

[Blizz]

I hope this bill doesn't pass, off course. Today I was going to search something on the Elder Scrolls wiki and then I saw picture - This site is blocked - U.S Government Firewall. First it was creepy and then I realized that SOPA has something to do with it. I might be stupid or something but I haven't realized why they REALLY want to block many many sites.

Copyright stuff... I know but still...

 

[Saitou]

No worries.

 

[Dopefish7590]

That's a MUCH better solution than my Save/Load solution. D:
