TLDR welcome to american internet censorship controlled by the entertainment industry. They now have the power to can shut down whatever domains they want if they feel it's linked to piracy or copyright infringement. Going to be voted on tomorrow I believe. Big-name supporters like Apple, EA, Nintendo, Sony, Activision, etc. Opposition includes Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, LinkedIn, eBay, Mozilla Corporation, the Brookings Institution, and human rights organizations such as Reporters Without Borders.

The beginning of iLife.

This ought to be good

welp. since we're all posting halo screenshots and mods we're obviously infringing copyrights.

been nice knowing you guys~~

At the rate things have been going on Capitol Hill, this'll probably get passed regardless of the People's opinion.

Hope they know that the more they do in the name of protecting their profits, the harder their shit's going to get "stolen."

The moment it get's passed, I'm going to report as many of the sites that supported it for copyright violation as possible and get them shut down. I don't want them stealing my awesome song or even allowing people to steal my awesome song that could make me billions of dollars.

i vote cut off america from the internet alltogether.

Internet2.0 incoming!
and imagine all the intelligent discussins that shall be had without mindless americans spouting their drivel.

edit: no offence to any american citizens present here who have intellect capable of restraining itself from spouting said drivel.

I love watching Let's Plays. I can't imagine what this is going to do to Slyfox, GassyMexican and all of machinima.com.



I'm scared.

I thought we already had a thread on this from months ago?
