FDR Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I'm not moving if it passes. Like what Chicken Wings said, they made it to protect the entertainment industry from pirates.

piscian Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 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? THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!

Weeman Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Needs more Asian. I would volunteer, but I'm moving to Korea the second this is passed. I wouldn't do that, we just passed a "free trade agreement" with South Korea....accept theres nothing free trade about it, our shit is so heavily tariffed that it forces citizens of South Korea to seek employment in North Korea(Theirs and our sworn enemy). And people, always voice your opinion, even if its insignificant and just a petition, still voice it. We are in a very sensitive period of our lifetime where our governments can't ignore the conglomerate of the people, our safe haven is the internet, where we communicate and connect and share information. If this becomes censored then we are allowing the government to put a foot in the door, and by next year they'll have a whole leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa John Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hope this is sarcasm...lol Theres tons of stuff made in the USA. ^This Not to mention the US's chief export is innovation and design. It sounds cheesy but its true. China, North/South Korea, et al. produce a large amount of goods but they are all made by designs in the US.

Chicken Wings Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Can you live without youtube? I hope that statement was sarcastic. Youtube will go unaffected unless Markus Persson prosecutes you for posting a video of minecraft. He won't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingless Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 The need for concern comes from the fact that the bill gives the government unacceptably broad power over access to content on the internet. Our access. I'm going to ninja an infographic at the bottom to give you pretty pictures. I haven't checked on the bill in its final form, but in a nutshell, SOPA gives the government and PRIVATE COMPANIES that are copyright holders the LEGAL AUTHORITY to order an ad company to cease to do business with a website's owner. They can also require DNS servers to return empty results, which breaks the shit out of address resolution. Uploading streaming media will be a felony. You might as well just be hosting kiddy porn. You might think that it's far-fetched for someone to gig you for using CW material as a spray in CSS, but nobody has to choose to prosecute you. They just switch someone off. The analogy is still kind of vague, because it's hazy whether or not they'd look to the host or the client, and by extension, whether or not they're going to use existing safe harbor rules for user-submitted content on an loosely moderated site. This isn't really a question of what they say they're going to do with their new powers, or what you think they're going to do. It's a matter of whether or not they should be granted these powers at all. China filters out unfavorable results by DNS. It feels like a very slippery slope to me.
