SOPA Bill.

I just heard of this and thought I'd share, see how you guys feel about it.

I guess if it passes, we all could become felons for using copyrighted material for our fake skate videos.
rad.

America is on a pass this bill and that bill frenzy. Your bill of rights just got hung out to dry recently as well. I just went to youtube and disputed all of the matched third party content vids, Videos I disputed months ago still havent been settled(So Much for disputing). Either or all of this can be avoided if people weren't fucking alive. Check this bill that just got passed, which everyone should be aware of, especially Americans.

I've done some research into it saunders, not a ton, just the 411 basically.

at least this was said, "Obama has threatened to veto the bill with these current provisions, and I pray he does."

"Obama has threatened to veto the bill with these current provisions, and I pray he does."

I call BS and a 2nd term, I really don't know though about a 2nd term, really iffy.

he changed his mind last friday, hes not going to veto s.1867, so were all basically fucked. on the flip side, this bill would have been in effect 3 years ago if McCain would have been elected because he is one of the 2 ppl that sponsored this bill. I think Carl Lovin was the other. i see a mass wiping of current officials in the 2012 election with the shit they have done the past few years.. lets just hope the mayans were wrong so maybe we can have some real "change"

I just read this article about the bill.

Good news everyone, the SOPA bill vote in the house just got cancelled today. It will return next year, but hopefully with better wording that will protect legitimate websites such as this one from abuse. By “abuse” I mean any company would have had the power to shut down a website if you reviewed a product of theirs simply because they didn’t like the review/rating/etc. Say NO to that. Protect our reviewer’s rights. Until the bill is reworded so that it can ONLY target piracy websites(Where as now it would allow any company to target almost anything), say NO.

But next year, Protect IP, another abusive bill, is up for vote. This bill, while not as threatening as SOPA, could be abused in almost the same way to have our favorite legitimate websites blocked, where they would no longer work by their domain name and cease to appear in search engines if targeted. It too needs rewording so that it can only target foreign over seas piracy websites.

I also read that this was a hoax and the next meeting was actually today, technically yesterday since it's thursday now, but nothing has been posted about an update towards that yet.
