It's time we do something about SOPA

[jarejare3]

I live in Malaysia and im trying to get the word out but no one listens....

EDIT: hell even when i ask lawyers about SOPA they just reply go back home kid.

Your signature has a mispelling, it should say "GBATEMP MUST TAKE ACTION [...]" and not "MOST"
And BTW prowler, GBAtemp is not a piracy website.

It looked fine to me, but I edited it anyways.

just make sure that only AMERICAN CITIZEN gbatemp members do anything as the problem when gbatemp tried to get members to send emails to canadian mp's international members did aswell making almost everything in vain as the number of emails could be chalked up to internationals and not citizens of canada.
So just make sure that onlyl american's do anything as we could be ignored if we bring up numbers by having internationls help out [sad but true]

This is true indeed. It does still effect everyone, but this is mostly limited to American users

I've done my part, but I don't really like thinking about something like this.

Off topic, I propose we eat the sopa.

may I ask something? with this new "law"... USA gov can shut down sites from another countries?

Nope.
The most they could do is block access to those websites if you're in the USA.

For comparison, shutting down a website from another country would be like sending someone to jail for something that is illegal in another country.

So... technically, gbatemp is safe because it's hosted on a french sever I believe (?)

But they could block the site from being viewed by anyone who lives in the USA.

yeah, that really sucks...
this "law" doenst affect us directly, but in the long run it will hurt all the world because (sadly) 80% of the internet comes from USA

Maybe if an international incident breaks out due to SOPA it won't get passed. Now all we need to do is piss off another country and blame it on SOPA. Hmmm.

I have a question. Is there anything that people from outside of the USA can do about this?

I don't think a non-US citizen calling up a US senator would really do any good. I guess only thing we can do is pressure Americans that we can contact
Something makes me think the bill will pass. Some pretty powerful companies (which don't just deal with computers) are backing it, and don't think what the Internet's word will be heard before theirs.
In any case, this will probably not stop piracy; this concept was brought up and developed by the creators of the Internet (or at least the people who make it advance).

Even worse is that we can't affect this law...

 

[Nah3DS]

fucking american senators.... they think they rule the world

VPNs are the solution for unconstitutional DNS blocking. The sodding wankers responsible for this alleged "anti-piracy" bill need to be shot in their kneecaps with an SC20K.

I dont know how we can help from outside US, but I know that a Law in USA become a "example" to laws in all latin america, maybe all the world... so I realy care about this...
