Major Web sites 24 hr Black Out in protest of SOPA

Update..read this 2 days ago...

Great read on how pissed our Govt is......

It's amazing how high on the hog he lived just for offering file sharing storage, but many blogger comments are adamant he is a scapegoat to steer people towards SOPA by showing the extent of money involved that's siphoned/stolen from artists. Supporters say he doesn' make people file share and he removes it when he sees it, just like Y/T...

I don't know though, he seems quite shady with 3 passports and 45 cc's in diff names...

And isn't his defense like saying you didn't know you were money laundering if you were a bank.

His lawyer fields q's

 

We'd better brace our selves. We might get taken down in February. If this happens, the best thing to do would be to delete the Men's and Women's locker room sections, modify the For Lover's only sections and basically look through other parts of the site.

New world order. Illuminati may not be fiction after all. The Internet has given the common people too much power...its helped take down Governments that ruled with iron fists for decades. Does anyone really think they give a fuck about copyright infringement? The EU and 22 of its Stated really give a shit? Please.
I think Mikey, all copywrites up until it's enforced will probably be grandfathered in - to clean up the web is just too massive a job. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted...the information superhighway will soon be closed for major renovations.

 

really

civilizations for centuries have tried to restrict what common people could know, which resulted in a divide and conquer philosophy among other things

now..not only does the internet feed people the information they desire, it also allows them to network and group together for the age old battle of the people versus the state. everything politicians do is being seen and scrutinized by millions of common people minute by minute. this is the age of revolution for us indeed, for better or for worse

 

Yep..they did it to slaves with education, The Taliban and some Islamic states forbid women to be educated...look at China who restricts the internet, Remember Sadam's right hand cronie Tariq Aziz who reported on national Iraqi TV all is sunny and well as US army trucks rolled through...

Then there (was) the king abuser of information...with his clueless nation...

The thing is...SOPA and ACTA in the little fine print...GIVES THE GOVT THE AUTHORITY to shut the Internet down at their discretion until further notice "for homeland security" reasons.

 

well yeah that's happened everywhere with women. we've tried our best to keep you all stupid and dependent on men....but now...centuries later, you're back-talking, running governments and households, and making more bread than we are :smt022

as for China..that shit is fierce

they don't play that outside knowledge shit

either you know what they want you to know or you can eat a dick

at least they let you out of the country tho..in the old days, commie countries made it very difficult for you to run away:axe:

 

and yet they are fierce in piracy! I saw spiderman 2 on the day it came out at my home! That's the real truth to it. They can try to stop usa but china has a lot of people that have no issues pirating.

 

Megaupload going down has got a lot of those fileuploading sites' attention.

 

Wow, you just actually proved what a farce it all will be. You're right - China are the most Govt regulated..and the most abusers of piracy. What a crock.

 

I never said they were the most regulated. I think I am missing a part of your comment or at least am missing the sarcasm part. I simply said that they are strong with the piracy!

Even prisons have drugs in them despite the amount of rules in there.

 

wait...are you from China?

as for pirating....people out here have it so down-packed, you can see anything the same week it's out.....shit you can see a LOT of stuff before it's even released in the theater or bluray

people be hungry for copyrighted shit...cheap bastards

 

I bet if the movies were a dollar, pirating would be much lower. 7 to 10 dollars is just robbing me.

 

No, no sarcasm..it's why I gave you the thumbs up...Yes, they actually are the most regulated and yet are #1 in piracy. You made an excellent point against SOPA imo, even if you didn't mean it the way I saw it.

the UFC is an advocate for anti-piracy bills, since their popular MMA events are being downloaded instead of ordered via pay-per-view @50 bucks a pop

the last thing you want to do is piss off hackers

everything has a digital record now...sometimes I wish stuff was still in pen and paper

 

It's getting ugly.

Though all he's proving is what we really need is an anti-hacking bill.

 

Punishing the innocent?

See, this is why SOPA is so dangerous...just like that, they can erase it all...
This is just a smidgen of the taste of what's to come.....

well yeah, this is what happens when the feds rush shit just to please people. Everything uploaded isn't illegal. Lots of people upload their own created music, photos, books and stuff of that nature. That's the beauty of websites like this. To simply purge everything off a site to save time is unacceptable.

like you said, this is just the beginning.

but hey, you know politics.

deep pockets back politicians, who then back high-ranking government officials for agencies like the FBI etc ("get it done ASAP and you can be looking at a long career," for example)

it's one big circle jerk being propelled by money and politics

 

This is CAT & MOUSE on the grandest scale -

Well it looks like Anonymous are mighty pissed....

"But... "no FBI systems were breached"...Fascinating how Annon are ghost like.

 

Ouch..some responses vv to ^^

Interesting last one...hmmm...can't argue it. Though hope he realizes Google and Yahoo also snoop, too.

 

Thanks Tom

How come Brady wasn't arrested, too?

I don't get it - if the networks simply offered to stream it online, there wouldn't be a need for illegal sites. The networks would still make money via the commercials we viewed on our laptops...as they would if we watched it on TV.

BTW, for $13.000 which is pennies to the stations...and they go after this man?..SOPA is not done and hard at work to make its case, clearly.
