Astro Dude Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I Vote NO on Sopa and Pipa. Nobody destroys the internet and gets away with it. Besides I haven't seen Zexal episode 9 or Elesa's english dub debut or my 200-days badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

â—‡ Void â—‡ Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would comment on this, but the Americians would then censor it. Im strongly opposed to these bills. While the bill is shelved until next month, we have not won yet. We must still fight against PIPA that plans to be voted in the Senate very soon.

SW cardmaker Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 My honest opinion is it's unfair because one of the things it does is it makes the owner/host of the site responsible for copyright infringements meaning that the site will be taken down because at least one person committed copyright infringement. How is that unfair? IT'S TAKING DOWN AN ENTIRE SITE JUST BECAUSE A SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE DID SOMETHING ILLEGAL. Instead of taking down the site, why not just take down the page of the person/people that has/have committed copyright infringement? My only guess is because taking down the whole site is easier.

Yea, personally I can see why they were shut down, but I do agree that unless some outrageous percent of the videos were illegal uploads killing the whole site is to much. However from what I can tell, it seems like that was the case. TBQH, never went to Medaupload all that much.

J-Max Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm surprised that you didn't use MU much FD. I was shocked when I saw it down yesterday but quickly got over it. This is the reason that I got everything in advance sorted. It was only a matter of time until these places started to get shut down. Expect Sharers like Mediafire & Rapidshare to go next.

Astro Dude Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm just mad cause some of my fave english dubbed hentai and anime which was posted in Megavideo is gone and there isn't a single player that can play them. These include Fencer of Minerva, Buttobi CPU, new episodes of Pokemon and others. We still have to fight. But I doubt Congress would fall for the "Blackout" attack twice.

Legend Zero Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Don't blame the US for it, blame the creators of Megaupload/video for being bad people. I heard many Republicans have been swayed to vote against the bills, due to the "influence" of major corporations. *coughgoogle* The law should be that each company has a right to take anything (name,product,movies,anime,ect) off a website without permission or due process if they want. This way it not only creates positions in certain companies that wish to enforce it, but allows others that enjoy the free advertising to leave it be.
