are you implying that pol is related to nazism? You are the one saying that, not me :^
Anytime someone mentions pol, its cus they're being Nazi's, i.e: I don't like what they're saying.

If all you're gonna do is tell people to "get over it" and try and flip stuff on others, it shows your complete immaturity, so kindly sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

This is why there is Brexit!
EU law is shit, but UK isn't any better. Better watch what you say on social media, or your passive aggressive Scotland Yard will kick your door in, and arrest you for hate speech.

Looks like part of the UK gov is okay with this, as they wanted it.

I get your point, but also December 24 is Christmas Eve

And what were people supposed to do? There were protests and sites went down - do you want armed insurrection?

Only to show that we are really united.If

- in Austria all 8.822.267 all residents stands in front of their goverment building(s)
- in Germany all 83.000.000 residents stands in front of their goverment building(s)
- the ~400 mio. residents from all other countires in the cronyism club called EU stands in front of their goverment building(s)

then i´ll be surprised that NOTHING changes.

But i´m only a little dreamer.....:wacko:

Wow, I can't think of a time where the US did something like that. The worst thing I can think of was when Comcast throttled torrent sites, or when Verizon went to war with Netflix, and pseudo throttled Netflix's bandwidth.

I can see watching a couple random episodes of American Dad on Youtube, but for the majority of people I doubt this is going to change anything in terms of where they access their "copyrighted" materials.

If the people around the world are so "united" as in social medias splurged,then YES there are other ways.
Neh. You'd have to get them on the streets for that. Issue too complicated. They'll realize what happened in 3-5 years, and think "its supposed to be that way now".

Same as usual. ;)

The real funny bit is, that no one cares about european media production as far as mass piracy is concerned. So its really a law for the US content industry in europe. And for news outlets. That are big enough.

Its a joke. Lets route around it. ;)

Meh, it's also the law that drivers are supposed to respect speed limits, and the only effect of that law is increased brake wear and collision risk where cameras are located

Yes uk law is pretty stupid right now. The difference is we can elect people who will stand to change this. For example UKIP have said they'll remove the BBC license fee if they get elected. Who do I remove from the 28 different countries right now represented who voted for this shitshow.

I'm strongly against violence but my impression that only violent demonstrations actually work hardens all the time.
We were 200.000 people in Germany alone who demonstrated against art. 13 but the politicians didn't care. And then they say that the outcome was a fucking "win for democracy". These politicians don't care for democracy at all! No one demonstrated for the reform! How is that a win for the democracy?
Seriously, what should so many poeple do to influence the politicians (and it's their job to represent the interest of the people)? The only way I currently see would be burning cars and thrown rocks against policemen.
