Astro Dude Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I just saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btUTCzoSNAY&feature=g-all&context=G22c4d3bFAAAAAAAAAAA Sopa wasn't bad enough, now the government wants to shut down the internet altogether. We have to stop this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Because shutting down the Internet will help the economy grow. That can't be what this bill does, I'm sorry, no American is that stupid. And nobody better say, "You'd be surprised". Otherwise you're an idiot.

Tentacruel Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 They're evil. Simple as that. The reason the lolgovernment can get away with this is because they hide behind the illusion of the left/right spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Hyperion Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm not going to say this is old news, because it only just got public attention. I'm not going to say we need to stop this, because it is dangerous to both privacy and the economics. But what I am going to say that the goverment needs to stop feeding the American media industry money and those companies need to get off their high horse and adjust their business plans on how to promote their products. Face it, the service the older American media industry hasn't either aged well, got worse over the years or is just became complete crap, because they cannot, no, aren't willing to provide better services then the pirates can do. Laws like this and SOPA/PIPA are made so that the American media industry can continue to control the multimedia, acting like a middle person between the artist and the consumer, while they can either decline an artists idea, or gain all the rights of the owner of the orginal product made by the artist, while the artist loses all of the rights to it. This isn't helping the economics, this is just fighting your own customers and eventually driving them away from yourself. I'm suprised that the online companies like Google, Ebay and Steam haven't moved out of that country yet and other continents didn't just cut of the internet with America altogether :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
