Navi Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/stop-e-parasite-act/SWBYXX55 This act makes streaming, downloading and anything else that is associated with internet illegal. This is not a joke, someone actually made a petition where they want to wipe out the internet and call streaming and downloading "E-Parasite." I hope there was a "vote against" button but sadly there are non. Anything violating this, will result in FELONY, NO JOKE THEY MENTIONED FELONY. What are your guy's thoughts? P.S: Quote from this article: "Essentially it's a censorship law that would end the internet as we know it in America." To see it dramatically, sprays in-game will be illegal unless you made it or you have permission to have it.

Rizon Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 NOPE, it will never happen imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 NOPE, it will never happen imo Agreed. imo, if they're going to have a petition to have all that set in action, there's gotta be a vote against it. But no, of course there isn't one. Just stupid politics as usual. But I think I'm safe in Australia from all this xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diK Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 This is right up there with things like chain emails. If anyone takes this seriously, then you are an idiot. Agreed. They need to make a petition to prevent dumb people from creating petitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazaHorse Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You realize... this petition site is a hoax right? There was one a few months ago asking for Texas to be forced to secede from the Union. Kids these days and their wild imaginations. You wait for Santy Claws every December 25th too?

LazaHorse Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 As long as the joint Conservatives and even Libertarians in the House are against it, this Act is screwed. Will be waiting to see what happens though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazaHorse Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Guys, im not joking.. the petition passed... 30,604/25,000 What is petition? There is nothing binding about an internet petition. I could get 1,000,000 signatures saying vagina is good for the male soul... does it mean anything? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I could get 1,000,000 signatures saying vagina is -good for the male soul... does it mean anything? No. who needs a fucking petition to state that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal45 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Guys, im not joking.. the petition passed... 30,604/25,000 Did you even read the petition? You were the one that started the thread and couldn't figure out that the petition you linked to is AGAINST this bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Wings Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Preventing streaming of TV and Movies online because companies dont want to lose potential profits. I see nothing wrong with this. Your CSS analogy is utter bullshit because no one in the right mind would prosecute you. It probably wouldn't even make it to court.
