Remember they passed a law where little kids couldn't ride small dirt bikes after freaking out over the lead content of chinese stuff. They pass laws all the time without thinking about the boardness and vague language in the bill that proliferates all kinds of ridiculous unforeseen consequences. Just like making a 50cc dirt bike 16 years and older only.

We have to think for them and send email and letter otherwise they just vote for whatever without even thinking.

Obama can say things, that doesn't mean he'll follow through with them after he has a nice meeting with some lobbyists to change his mind.

*Edit* Which is true with any modern president.

I have seen my fare share of displayed stupidity but there is no way in hell this will pass.

Werd.

He also said they wouldn't pursue federal laws over state laws and now they're trying to steal land away from LEGAL medical marijuana grow ops in Cali.

No one in this government is as good as their word, its all about the money machine.

I just wanted to get a copy of this posted over on TeamLiquid, the article seems very vague on exactly how close this is to passing, but apparently it's very under the radar, and if what i read is true this law could end up getting sites like TeamLiquid blacklisted for copyright infringement even if the post in question was years ago.

Google knows it. Viacom knows it. The Chamber of Commerce knows it. Internet democracy groups know it. BoingBoing knows it. But, the Internet hasn't been told yet -- we're going to get blown away by the end of the year. The worst bill in Internet history is about to become law. Law is very real here in the United States and legal language is often different than stated intentions -- this law would give government and corporations the power to block sites like BoingBoing over infringing links on at least one webpage posted by their users. Believe the EFF, Public Knowledge, Google when they say this bill is about much more than copyright, it's about the Internet and free speech everywhere.


Full article here


You can not be serious. This can never happen, it would completly shutdown every forum based website there is!


You're not fully aware of what the US government is capable of. Remember this is the same entity that made drinking illegal, weed possession criminalized, prevented the rights of minorities and women for over 100 years, allowed the enslavement and trade of people, and currently thinks wiretapping is legal.


Pretty much every government has done or currently does these things, the US is by far not alone in this respect. I hopw you guys in the US can oppose this bill, it will clearly have repercussions acorss the entire world.

EDIT: OK, the UK has never outlawed drinking afaik. (The notion of it!)

The blockage is only on US servers infraestructure, rest of the world servers you are still ok.

Sad to US netizens though.

I still can't understand how the needs of the people gets onslaughted by the money of the few.

He earned it, don't try to take away what he earned.

Its a mock democracy. The money controls the media and therefore the money controls the candidates for the voting positions. The common vote has no weight due to the senate, house and electorial college. The money given to promote their campaigns is then held over their heads as leverage while laws are changed so they can steal more money from the poor.

This would cause such a giant shit storm in our technology based world that I cannot see it being passed, or lasting any amount of time even if it is somehow passed.

Then again, retarded laws have been passed before.

We can only hope.

Whoever reads this thread, if you really care about this issue and you live in the United States email your senators and representative and complain like hell to them and tell your friends to do the same. Use phrases like: internet freedom, needless regulation, and getting government out of my personal life to articulate your point and throw job killer in there somewhere for a cherry on top, then any congress person will listen to you, either right left or in the middle. Now get off your metaphorical ass( I want you to stay in your seat) and write an email angrily to your elected representative in Washington. That is the least you can do!

NOW DO IT

It should not affect MLG directly, since they own the right of what they are streaming...

It could shut down TL, tho.

A single link toward a video or a song, and bam.
