The REAL 2012 Crisis: Is the Internet dying?

I made this poll because I would really like to know what people would do if that bill passes. I am also hoping that this poll will help guys (and womenz) like me realize that this bill isn't something that can just be ignored and will go away.





P.S. I probably should get used to the forums BEFORE i start posting, sorry guys newbie mistake!(didnt know it was in new members intro.)

listen, SOPA is not going to destroy the internet. But it certainly will be a punch in the face. SOPA wasn't even the government. It was just Hollywood who probably bribed a bunch of people to support it because even though they make billions and billions of dollars every year and complain about losing a couple million because of people who pirate their stuff.


A million dollars is like a quarter to big companies.

Its not about destroying..Its about the fucking power its giving to the government.
>Dad makes video of little boy eating Ice cream
>Posts it youtube
>Hollywood sees the dad saying "I love you" which is said in many movies
>Dad is sued, Video Removed
A lot of us do care if the internet is removed, the main reason im pissed is that it gives the fucking Government too much power its really UNfair

Even if this passes, people will always find a way around it.
And the piracy is already all round the internet, it is impossible to stop it.

I would only give it a few months.

I will personaly participate in a riot if given the opportunity (EX: If happening in my city or an adjacent one.) to get there. What I am worried about is the amount of people who are going to do nothing at all becasue they think they can't or they are lazy. This bill will cause problems with everyone and it's better to stop it now so that the government knows not all of it's citizens are idiots who don't know all the laws of the country.

I'd give it no time at all. There are already methods that the government can't simply stop, but it's going to suck ass to those people who use common ones. Want a realy good comparison? It's simair in reason to why America had no way to "Win the war of drugs.".

Goverments suck, get over it. Total fucking anarchy is best politics.

You'll never be free with a government. No matter how much you repeat it to yourself. People from the US ARE NOT FREE.

I think of country wide riots as "get free stuff" day.

(I'm looking at you, Fry's and Guitar Center)

But SOPA allows for the whole website to be taken down, as opposed to individual torrents and links. SOPA also allows American internet blacklisting, the same kind of internet censorship the Chinese use to block certain sites. If the bill is passed, and you one day decide to go on utorrent, the site will be blocked with the big American eagle on it saying that the site is not allowed for blah reasons

Also, remember the bill that is being pushed behind SOPA. ProtectIP which aims to do exactly that, stop piracy in the most invasive way possible..

Quote from: Juan_Ambriz on January 06, 2012, 05:17:42 PM

No no... Before SOPA people were allowed to use game/movie copyrighted footage/video to do whatever, such as movie and game reviews, mashups, montages, etc and that was allowed under the American Constution. With SOPA, the companies have the right to:

1. Take whatever video that image is in
2. Shut down the website that is hosted said video

So SOPA effectively shifts the responsibilty for posting copyrighted material from the person, to the host. Which is why it's such a big deal. Youtube, facebook, google, wikipedia, 4chan, reddit, streaming sites, can all be potentially crippled.

This wouldn't SERIOUSLY happen. The whole country would look like Fallout 3 after, minus radiation.

... Entertain me, what would the people in government who supported this act be in such a comparison?
