The problem with the bills is that they give the government WAY too much power. The way it is worded, they can technically force any website that has the potential of having any user post 'illegal' content to have it's ip address blocked.</p> <p>It gives the right to music companies that don't want their artists songs sung by anyone, to prosecute people who just want to post a video of themselves singing a song on youtube. It gives the guys with money and power the chance to make more money, and get more power and basically control the internet.</p> <p>It gives the 1%, if you will, the possibility to censor the internet as much as they want, so that the rest of us believe whatever the hell they tell us. THAT is why it's bad.</p> <p>Piracy is bad, but can anyone here say they've never downloaded and mp3? Or borrowed a game from a friend and copied it? Practically EVERYONE is guilty of piracy in one way or another. And this is NOT the way to go about fixing it.</p> <p>If you want to know more about it, there are a lot of good videos and websites:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/defend_our_freedom_to_share_or_why_sopa_is_a_bad_idea.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ted.com/talks/defend_our_freedom_to_share_or_why_sopa_is_a_bad_idea.html</a><br /> <a href="http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2012/01/open-letter-to-washington-from-artists.html" rel="nofollow">http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2012/01/open-letter-to-washington-from-artists.html</a><br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM&amp;feature=share" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM&amp;feature=share</a><br /> <a href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/opinion/sopa-sponsor-rep-lamar-smith-to-sopa-opponents-you-dont-matter/" rel="nofollow">http://www.digitaltrends.com/opinion/sopa-sponsor-rep-lamar-smith-to-sopa-opponents-you-dont-matter/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.blackoutsopa.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.blackoutsopa.org/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p-TV4jaCMk&amp;feature=share" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p-TV4jaCMk&amp;feature=share</a><br /> <a href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/SOPA/Blackoutpage" rel="nofollow">https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/SOPA/Blackoutpage</a><br /> <a href="http://sopastrike.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sopastrike.com/</a> </p> http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/topic/sopa-and-pipa#post-4906 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:47:12 +0000 spookspoon 4906@http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/ <p>thanks, I just confused that with another topic. </p> http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/topic/sopa-and-pipa#post-4905 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:41:59 +0000 Earl 4905@http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/ <p>There was nothing wrong with what you said the first time around. :) </p> http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/topic/sopa-and-pipa#post-4904 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:45:56 +0000 spookspoon 4904@http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/ <p>sorry, I was gonna say something, but decided not to :3 please pay no attention to this comment </p> http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/topic/sopa-and-pipa#post-4902 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:23:34 +0000 Earl 4902@http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/ <p>Erm... no?<br /> That's just... not based in anything resembling fact.

I'm not sure if this bill is the right way to do it though. </p> http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/topic/sopa-and-pipa#post-4888 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:30:00 +0000 Earl 4888@http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/ <p>Meh. Not surprising that wikipedia is against sopa, considering how much they love stealing content (and then adding the extra insult of adding their own license to it). </p> http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/topic/sopa-and-pipa#post-4886 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:21:57 +0000 SteveCastro 4886@http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/ <p>I signed the petition from the google home page. </p> http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/topic/sopa-and-pipa#post-4884 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:31:57 +0000 Dalkiel 4884@http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/ <p>For those in the USA:</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page</a></p> <p>Get in touch with your Senators and Representatives, tell them to vote no to SOPA and PIPA. </p>
