Legend Zero Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Stopped watching at a 1:30 due to the sheer stupidity. US cannot legally take another person from another country, because (guess what, its a secret) AMERICA doesn't own the internet. And extreme lol at having the US troops storm the UK for 1 person.

The Anti-Piracy laws in the UK are a lot more downtuned compared to the US so maybe mike was Exaggerating a bit with the whole Army to track you down thing. If this SOPA thing does pass though, the Internet will quickly become locked down with every part of your daily Web Browsing watched. At the moment the Goverment is mostly keeping a eye out for Pedophiles and things like that but what happenes when someone even viewing a Normal Porn site is a criminal offense? Scary times ahead me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Service Provider has tabs on some of the things I do. Even told me that I was commiting Piracy at one time (So I started using a Proxy). They also have a Alarm trigger that the moment someone searches for a danger thing (Such as Child Porn) BT are notified and the Police are sent to the Address. The only problem I have these days are Bandwidth usage, I eat through around 2TB a month downloading Movies, Games and other things.

Tentacruel Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I frankly don't care for excuses. Copyright laws are almost all too strict. But lol sites not ending in .com, .net, .org. But huh, they can still block sites from us. Frankly that's kind of stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ярополк Пономарёв Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The worst of SOPA and PIPA is that both can shut down websites without warning for copyright claims. YouTube could be shut down if someone sang "Happy Birthday". Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnpsy Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Websites just have to change their hosts to Switzerland or something. That's how The Pirate Bay has managed to survive this long... Canada's stance on piracy is "let's not even bother enforcing it, that's a waste of time and energy", so my previous post stands.

Î’yakuya Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 So this SOPA is close to making its decision about the copyright ban...since we all get the idea these are guys are dumbf**ks, if they do pass it, my reaction will be somewhat like: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHv9acm3fF0&feature=related[/media] And another question, would this violate one or more of our freedoms in the 1rst amendment?

Flinsbon Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Honestly, I can see the government hiring a bunch of random people who sit in an office all day and look around at websites and when they find a site opposing the government or placing it in a bad light, they would be instructed to upload some random videos onto the site. Then the government can block the domain so no one can use the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
