SOPA - discuss

[quote=Lugignaf]I just checked some other stuff on the bill. If a site, not based in the US, is deemed to have copyright material on it, they will pull all forms of US payments to it. IE: Paypal, ads, anything that can give it funding to continue.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]LoL.. Inb4 everyone invades US *nods*[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]I hate more government legislature because they literally fuck up everything they try to do. But I am for stopping copyright infringement and this is the closest the government has ever come to even addressing the matter. I'm not saying it's the best option.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime][quote=Luther3000] 3) As far as I know only American sites, but most popular/good websites are hosted in the US. [/quote] Inb4 Google moves out of country and even the websites USA makes are made in other countries LAWL.[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=Lugignaf] [quote=Vavena] Lugi ANY site can be shut down if it's passed. [/quote] Not really. A ton of sites [b]will[/b] censor it's users just to stay up. MOBA is just the site I care about the most. :3 [/quote] If you can enter any form of media, there is potential to infringe upon copyrighted material. The only possible censoring would be hand-filtering of ALL content, which would be so insanely expensive for any company that isn't Google, that it would be completely unreasonable for any kind of person to start a website like mobafire.[/quote]

[quote=Anandre][quote=Mooninites] So anyway, Riot posted today about SOPA and I want to get everyone's educated opinion - if you don't know what an educated opinion is, do some research outside of what riot posted because clearly they have a biased view on the matter and aren't posting all the facts about the bill, just as the supporters of the bill like to use misinformation [/quote] I know you're trying to promote fair discussion and all, but this isn't the way to do it. If SOPA, PIPA and similar bills pass, then the Internet as we know it will cease to exist. That's not an exaggeration. The corporations are shutting down the ordinary citizens and limiting what we can do because it might cut into their profits. Corporations might be considered people under the law, but they are the most soulless creatures on the planet.[/quote]
