If you want to email and tell people how you don't like SOPA follow this link

I know many of you disprove of League of Legends, but Riot games has made it official that they are against SOPA. We should be grateful that they are at least combating the bill while many other gaming companies seem to be sitting back.

And what caught me off guard was the congressman who posted a message a few posts below the OP.

If u think about streams if SOPA gets approved the whole TL site would probably die to us viewers ....
riot knows how important streamers are ...

Oh riot's apparently super serious about stopping this o.O That's good, they have some users at least...

I wonder what would happen if Google had an anti-SOPA message at google homepage and facebook had one at facebook homepage and so on...

Holy shit that's amazing... Glad to see people that actually are involved within the gaming community that are pretty high up in politics.

I think that YouTube should follow Riot's lead here. They have such a big following, they could make a huge impact by stating on their site what this awful bill will do.

Well I've always cheered for google and it's one of my favorite huge companies around and it appears that everything they touch turns into gold so I'm going to just predict that google's not going to let SOPA pass

Some interesting news I just encountered:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/12/comcast-network-upgrade-blocks-dns-blocking-could-make-sopa-sel/

Basically Comcast's network upgrades makes it incompatible with proposed SOPA countermeasures.

LOOOOOOOL

But while it's quite entertaining to see SOPA Alliance get picked away at by surprisingly united internet users, there's still its looming threat and please, dear America, don't let it pass.

Pulling one quote:
(B) INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES- A provider of an Internet search engine shall take technically feasible and reasonable measures, as expeditiously as possible, but in any case within 5 days after being served with a copy of the order, or within such time as the court may order, designed to prevent the foreign infringing site that is subject to the order, or a portion of such site specified in the order, from being served as a direct hypertext link.

Translation: "Search engine providers must modify their service as appropriate to enforce the law"
The fuck?

Wasn't that one of the dudes who was absolutely dominating the people arguing for SOPA during the stream? He sounds awesome either way. It's nice to see a congressperson that actually knows about what they are talking about.

I got an e-mail from my congressman in response to my request to him not to pass SOPA:


Dear Friend:

Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the Stop Online Piracy Act. I am grateful for your thoughts and appreciate the opportunity to respond.

As you may know, H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act, was introduced by Congressman Lamar Smith of Texas on October 26, 2011. If enacted, it would give the Department of Justice legal remedies to stop foreign websites from selling copyrighted material to U.S. consumers. Also, the bill would set requirements for third parties that are notified of court orders, for example directing Internet service providers (ISP) to block an infringing website. Copyright holders would be provided similar but more limited legal tools.

The House Committee on the Judiciary is currently working on a modified version of H.R. 3261, including a clarification that the measure would only apply to foreign websites and would specific that ISPs would not be required to redirect users from the infringing website. The Committee is scheduled to continue its markup of the legislation when Congress returns in 2012. Attached please find a fact sheet created by the Judiciary Committee, which addresses many of the concerns people have had about the bill.

In its current form, I have serious concerns about this legislation's impact on free speech and the constitutional rights of Americans. That being said, I believe we must find a common-sense approach that stops the illegal and damaging infringement of copyrighted material. I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to achieve that goal for the good of the American people and our economy.

If I have the opportunity to vote on this legislation, please be assured I will keep your views firmly in mind.

Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to do so again on any matter of concern. You can also visit my website (http://house.gov/israel) to learn more about the issues important to you and to sign up for my e-mail updates.


Sincerely,

STEVE ISRAEL
Member of Congress

To me it feels like he's not committing to either side. However, given that 2 out of the 3 main paragraphs are him talking about SOPA, I feel like he's going to vote for it.

Sounds to me like he probably won't. This email is just copy/paste. The first paragraph explains what SOPA is, in response to emails just saying SOPA sucks and nothing more. The second gives the current status on it, for emails that may be misinformed on where it's at. The third says he is concerned with it's impact on free speech and constitutional rights.

Nvidia jumps on the bandwagon, as they now offically stated that they do not support SOPA.
