SOPA - discuss

[quote=Nighthawk][quote=Toshabi] [quote=AncientNecro] [quote=Toshabi] I think SOPA is a strong way to finally end piracy and I hope with all of my heart that it gets passed. Worrying this much about a bill that will potentially ruin what little social life you have left is understandable though. [/quote] Can you explain your point some more? I'm of the opposite standpoint but would love to hear exactly why you would support SOPA, and if you realize the depths that it will affect? Just interested in someone elses view, because I can see absolutely nothing good coming from SOPA. [/quote] The good thing coming out of SOPA is the end of all piracy as we know it, along with horrible pop sensations like Justin Beiber from being brought into existence. Consider this as preventing another contamination of the internet to be birthed into this world. [/quote] Doesn't even sound half bad now... What happens in Equestria after dark stays in Equestria after dark. :3[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian][quote=Yougan] The maya have been seen in the future. The law will be accepted 21th of December 2012. This is truly, the end of the world... of warcraft... and internet. :D [/quote] lol, my mom's birthday. And I'm probably not old enough to know this stuff. These aside, piracy is wrong, but how come no one has done anything about it? It's been like, what, ~20 years? And [i]because[/i] no one did anything about it, it has become common, and by becoming common, done as if it was legal. And when they finally try to fix it, they break everything affiliated with it that was actually legal. Am I right about this, or completely wrong? I just started reading about this, sorry :p[/quote]

[quote=AncientNecro]Hmmm... no Justin Beiber sounds fantastic. But what if SOPA infringes upon your religious beliefs? HMMM? SOURCE + INTERESTING: http://www.globalpost.com/dispatches/globalpost-blogs/weird-wide-web/kopimism-file-sharing-religion-sweden[/quote]

This bill, on the other hand, is like carpet-bombing a neighborhood because there's some drug trafficking there.[/quote]

But now the companies are just trying to milk every coin they can get from customers. Nearly every game is overpriced, they make shitty DLC or remove parts of the game to sell them, making "die-hard fans" forced to buy them. They make you pay more to unlock multiplayer and stuff in games as well. Also, games that are not made anymore is also illegal to download (<--- This is horseshit) Even games you already own are illegal to download. Another dumb idea is that Xbox 360 and PS3 can't read games from their past concoles. Well... PS3 can play PS1 games, and some versions of it can play PS2 games as well, (Still wonder why not all the versions can) Xbox 360 can read SOME of the Xbox games, but not that many tbh. ------ For movies and music I have no idea but... These are the reasons why I download stuff sometimes. Greed makes other people greedy, as anger makes other people angry. (This is my opinion on this tho.)[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]Ps3's can play PS1 games? I doubt it.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=Nighthawk] Ps3's can play PS1 games? I doubt it. [/quote] Err, yes they can. :P[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk][quote=Luther3000] [quote=Nighthawk] Ps3's can play PS1 games? I doubt it. [/quote] Err, yes they can. :P [/quote] Hard to believe Sony actually catered to the fan's wishes for once...[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]The original ones could play PS2 games as well, but they removed that ability in the slim models.[/quote]
