SOPA - discuss

[quote=Phoenix0000ff]Put all the pirates out of hobbies and jobs and what you think is going to happen? It's not going to be like a Disney movie.[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites][quote=Luther3000] Actually there was a thread in off-topic about it around a month ago I think. If I remember rightly it went to around 4 or 5 pages. [/quote] for all 96 people that read the off-topic forums[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=Phoenix0000ff] Put all the pirates out of hobbies and jobs and what you think is going to happen? It's not going to be like a Disney movie. [/quote] Wait... I thought that making pirating MORE challenging was a GOOD thing for pirates. More prestige, more fun.[/quote]

[/quote] for all 96 people that read the off-topic forums [/quote] Honestly, SOPA wasn't "on topic" before now. So shut the fuck up with your "No one cared till now!" bullshit.[/quote]

[/quote] for all 96 people that read the off-topic forums [/quote] for anyone not named mooninites, pulling a BS statistic out of your ass would be a dumb way to make an argument. If I had a post for every time you've said something stupid on Mobafire, I would have 264 more posts...[/quote]

A lot about the bill concerns me, but in particular the following (from Wikipedia): [quote]The bill would make unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content a crime, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison for 10 such infringements within six months.[/quote] Think it would be that harsh just to be a deterrent? Think about all the multi-million lawsuits that the RIAA and MPAA filed against regular citizens. I'm also not the only one that says SOPA will be the end of the Internet as we know it.

The person could even be joe-schmo. I never said I supported the bill, but all these sheeple going around acting like it's the end of the world is nonsense[/quote]
