Oh, dear god, no. It's dark day for all of us. This bill, supported by Major Hollywood studios and other big companies, pretty much lets the Government Insta-Kill any site that sell's or let people download copyrighted material or items by revoking that sites domain name. If the site operates from outside the USA, ISP's could be forced by the goverment to block that site to all it's users indefinitely. http://www.techeye.net/internet/senate-passes-combating-online-infringement-and-counterfeits-act DISCUSS!!!! :shock:
Either way, we're all fucked. My choice couldn't be even more clearer than this. This will be take to Supreme Court, that's for sure.
Wow this fucking blows but there are ways around it. We all thought it would be over with napster and then limewire and frostwire. They tried to make weak examples of people by trying to sue kids and single mothers and people still downloaded shit for free. This too shall pass.
All those blog sites that share the latest in releases have been taken down for some time now. There are so many ways & avenues around this shit to where it is just useless. Just what we need the fucking Gov. stepping in again. I don't download music off of limewire since there are other sites that just provide a straight link to the good shit you want. So go ahead Gov. but it is a waste of time. The days of paying for shit you can get for free isn't going away anything soon.
True my friend. Everything bad passes nowadays in government. Unless the people bitch it will be total censorship.
Oh, brother, don't tell me that you forget!?!?! You already know where I'm going! Haven't you noticed I speak, eh?!
Actually...it has to do with how this country has evolve. For now, I'm giving this country another chance. I'm keeping an watchful eye on this country. You know me, bro. I'm willing to give another chance to this country.
The U.S. gov is going after foriegn sites, so I think we will be ok...there are enough american hackers and the likes that will keep us updated on pirated music, movis, porn, etc lol
Very good news, my friends! http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/oregon-senator-vows-block-internet-censorship-bill/ There you go. Now we can rest easy.
Who knows, mate? They just want to control somebody's lives. Just because they're richer than we all are.
There is no way in hell they're going after foreign sites, that's just not possible, there are just way too many obscure sites for them to take down, that's an impossible task. Also, in some countries downloading copyrighted material is NOT a crime and they might just give the US government a big "fuck you", the US can't even get other countries to support their stupid, pathetic wars how the hell are they going to get them to cooperate with their internet dictatorship bill?... I mean, censorship bill...
