The REAL 2012 Crisis: Is the Internet dying?

<< < (4/8) > >>

Doctor Who:
Head to canada.

Frank:
Head to Denmark or Holland.

Osme:
If you look at it, it would make large, every day online companies suddenly become illegal, and they would all either go down, or leave to outside of america. Think that would be good for the american economy, especially at this time? It wouldnt even affect piracy because you can download a single file, and suddenly, complete access online again. Its only mildly irritating in terms of piracy. Hell, I would expect hollywood producers to lose money in the end from this for that reason, and also, who would support people that evectivly ruins the internet for the *average* user who doesnt know how to bypass it. Besides, the bill is a bit too open and it could pretty much allow the government to shut down any site that spoke poorly of the government. (Though im not sure if that would happen, but I wouldnt be surprised in the least).
Bill passes, america fucks itself pretty hard

The reason why the bill has gone this far is because, one, the majority of the American senators are 50 and know shit all about the computer and even less about the internet, two, they are dismissing all evidence of damage by SOPA with 'there is no factual evidence, just speculation' and three,

derpy corrupt governement

Shawn:
"what people would do if that bill passes"

Nothing, I'm Canadian this bill doesn't affect me at all. And seeing as like all pirate sites and the like or not hosted on American soil/servers the bill is only going to allow them to block Americans from viewing sites, and your government has no jurisdiction to shut down none American sites. In short only Americans are getting fucked.
