But yeah, even if I don't think that bill is going very far... WHAT THE HELL, NINTENDO SONY AND MICROSOT? WHAT. THE. ****ING. HELL

EDIT:

Wait, I don't see Microsoft in there. I doubt they would want that what with they liking people using computers and all.

 Still, **** Microsoft due to completely unrelated things.

I'm scared that this and the E-PARASITE Act will actually get passed. Any site even suspected to have copyright infringement can get taken down and even removed from major search engines. Admittedly, our congress is filled with idiots who don't know what these bills will do. It's terrifying.

Hey, you guys know another thing? It will only block americans. Me, Grandy, and all those Europeans can still visit Charas all we want! Yay.

Also that bill sounds tasty.

It can block american sites for foreigners as well, AFAIK.

And soon enough the Americans will start missing their internets and start protesting somehow.



I bet they'll do an online petition.


I meant that as a joke but then realised petitions probably wouldn't be touched by this bill. So yeah, that's likely what they'd do.

Everyone's politics everywhere, really. Europolitics are no less WUT worthy.

Well ****.

Better just trash my laptop.

In all seriousness, I've been following this for a while. I've even contacted my local representative.
Unfortunately, I'm the first call his office has even gotten concerning Protect-IP...

Not even going to address how completely bullshit that is right now. Massive headache. Super effective.

Some Americans and other non-Americans love money.

Good luck, I am behind seven proxies.

Yeahhh... that's why we have things like the Patriot Act and the War on Drugs... Because we love our freedoms and fight back.
