Well I am pretty sure the senate should destroy this for being way to broad, no way it can happen....

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, 4chan, Tumblr, etc could be shut down.

You know what else could be screwed over? GBATemp.

[CENSORED FOR YOUR SAFETY]

I agree with Brandon Spikes this time. We all have the capacity and the ability to commit and carry through crime. Whether this be downloading something, or killing someone. There is very little keeping us from doing anything. We have the right to freedom, and the includes committing crimes. It isn't right, it's against the law, and it can be punished. There is a saying, "You reap what you sow."

tbh this is everyones fault for pirating too much, also I see no reason why google don't just move to Europe and it will all be OK, the law of America shouldn't affect other countries.

I blame America

Sterling is whiny because the US is trying to prevent crime

 

[ZaeZae64]

I blame America

Really? You're blaming America for making a law in America?
NOW WHO WOULDA THOUGHT?

 

[Zetta_x]

Prove that piracy does greater bad than good.

What is a crime is dependant on law, what has always made law are opinions. Therefore, by making this law, they make you eat and live by their opinions.

If their opinion was to install limiters on every car that mandates your speed to at most the speed limit, then half of you people would change their minds on allowing the government to do this.

Like most ignorant people, I'm gonna blame the American citizens.

My reason: ... Uh...

IT'S FUCKING AMERICA!

 

[godreborn]

then I guess the entire entertainment industry will have to be shut down as well--nice logic... let's also put all political candidates behind bars as well since no campaign is complete without an individualized soundtrack ripped from others. the U.S. government must be the most pathetic joke ever conceived. there's already considerable unrest in the country, so the more corporations exercise control over people's lives will create an ever-increasing likely hood of revolution.

You didn't honestly just say that?

 

[Hyro-Sama]

GBatemp is full of trolls. I doubt the majority of this forum actually agrees with this bill.

Heh.

I'm sorry for posting my opinion which is perfectly in my right to do so. I am not "whiny", I merely wish to be perfectly frank in my opinion that the United States Government is overstepping their bounds. No matter what you do, there will always be crime. You cannot prevent someone from busting your window open and stealing your valuables.

One more thing. Laws are for people who abide by them. There will always be people who wish to violate these rules. If there weren't people who wanted to do such things, then we would be in a perfect world. Last time I checked we aren't in a perfect world.

Prevention is better than prosecution

Also I don't agree with how extreme the bill is, I'm just arguing that they are trying to prevent crime (and are failing to do so)

I just honestly said that. Are you gonna say something about it because I can guarantee anything you say to try and "Prove" it will be just unintelligent garbage.

The fact that good and bad are opinionated means you would have to start the proof assuming good and bad are well defined (when in actuality is not). It's impossible to prove that piracy does greater bad than good and the other way around that piracy does greater good than bad because it is heavily influenced by opinions (which are never consistent).

So if you are going to say something, bring it on

No, they are trying to make more money, and they don't care who they fuck over.

well, u do know what they say about the downfall of democracy: it doesn't happen suddenly, but it's taken away a piece at a time.

 

[Kiaku]

This bill must not be passed! While I understand that it prevents copyright infringement, it still isn't worth taking away a majority of the popular websites!! Where's our freedom then?
