You act surprised. There is nothing more free than the internet, and as a live stock, the human race needs to be corralled.

Doesn't the alleged infringer simply need to contest the allegation to stop the blacklist?

Also, WHO COMES UP WITH THESE HILARIOUS ACRONYMS

Master Google and Master Microsoft don't like it, I'm surprised the people who support it are still living right now.

>he wants to prevent future website blacklistings by the US government!

>>>/b/

>government declares all "infringing" websites illegal
>government cracks down on obscenities

I for one welcome our new Nazi - I mean, good Christian overlords.

>>20828751
What do swear words have to do with IP infringement?

>>20828777
Swear words make God cry ;_;

It was only a matter of time. Amerifags are natural sycophants and have a deep-rooted need to be controlled.

IP can be anything they want it to be. They have the power and you don't.

Bend over.

>>20828829

>sycophants

haven't heard that word in awhile.

Not american, but if this got passed, i'd die laughing my ass off.

>>20828604
What about the floors?

>>20828798
good point.

Where did you get THE INTERNET?!

>>20828860
Thanks!

>>20828751

The Nazis were extremely Christian

Apparently Google is lobbying against it.

Take that as you will.

>>20828888
Wuuut quads!!!
brrrrrrr

>>20828898
No surprise there at all, Google doesn't give a fuck about media companies, but legislating internet filtering can fuck with their services, youtube in particular.

>>20828898
I for one welcome our new Android Overlords.

>>20828898
This is one reason why I love Google, they try their hardest to prevent shit like this.

lol amerikkka

>>20828619
Sure, but how long would the process take?
How would you act if they block one of your sites for whatever reason without even a proved infringement?

>>20828958
I-it's not like we like you or anything! We just want your money! Baka!

Can anyone explain exactly how this would affect other countries (besides the blocking for Americans)

>>20829000
it won't but Americans like to think they're the only country in the world

>>20828983
One way or another, at this present moment their business model is beneficial to a free internet as an unrelated side-effect.

>>20829000

the economy brah

>>20829000
Amerifags may have to relocate their websites (this one, in particular).

>>20829000

87% of web servers are hosted in America

>>20829016
The only one that matters, anyway.

>>20829000
other countries will implement something similar soon after

ACTA was american, now eurobros are getting it too

but for now, let's all laugh at the americans

lol, enjoy your police state amerifats

>>20829000
if it gets through, Australia, Canada, UK and eventually all western countries will likely follow suite.

A successful precedent is a dangerous thing.

Government should stay the fuck off things they don't understand.

When will the revolution come, /g/, when?

>>20829036
It shouldn't affect sites hosted in foreign countries and relying on non-US TLDs for the domain.

>>20829048
>>20829052
This. It's important to the rest of us that this latest piece of bullshit is a colossal failure, so that other countries don't try the same thing.

>>20829054
When they come for our guns.

>>20829052
>follow suite

>implying this will stop piracy or cp

>>20829054
Never, the jews already won, everyone is an Apple-loving Occupy Wallstreet faggot now who can't even wipe their mouths without help.

>2011
>still relating USA to freedom or liberty

dumbass

>>20829078
It won't but it sure will annoy the fuck out of a lot of site owners.

On a side note, if this bill passes VPN services will become a goldmine.

>>20829067
lol didn't they already do that?

and you did nothing!

>still living in the United States

>>20829036
This would likely increase the number of webservers outside of the USA.

>To ensure compliance with orders issued pursuant to this section, the Attorney General may bring an action for injunctive relief.... against any entity

This really sounds like China. I hope this "E-PARASITE" (what a name!) will not become reality.

>E-PARASITES

You guys know that to defeat any claim of infringement under this law the aaccused just needs to say that it would be too expensive for remove the offending material

>>20829130
This act applies to foreign sites too

>>20829130
Isn't the whole point to block sites not hosted in the USA?

this bill only serves the interests of corporations
"hurrr we only made $1 billion dollar this year instead of $1.00001 billion because of those damn pirates"

>>20829114
>team of 10 highly trained SWAT/FBI/CIA/FEMA/NWO knock on your door asking for that hunting rifle you bought 5 years ago but have never even cleaned

i swear they must have a robot factory churning out these brainless law enforcement who are just "following orders" derpy derp derp. you should just fucking die if you even mutter that sentence.

>>20829113
enjoy your v&

using a vpn will become illegal under this

what, you think they'll just not bother you? "oh, he's tunneled his connection through an offshore server and is downloading GBs of encrypted data, i guess we can't arrest him"

>>20829163
>>20829171
But the block is only effective for americans

>4chan is taken down

>>20829192
>REVOLUTION

Control, control, control!

>>20828578
But how come it is so light?

>>20828983
he got a point. if there was no google, we probably had no YouTube today.

Not only because of controversy over copyright, because of bandwidth problems and problems.

>>20829183
...And? Why would that increase the amount out nonamerican sites?

>>20829180
Yes, and that's why this shit shouldn't pass.
What if, I NEED to use some corporative VPN to download audiovisual material to edit for some foreign TV producer?

>>20829114
They confiscated a few during Hurricane Katrina, which was the dumbest shit ever. But that was only in New Orleans.

>>20829192
>pic related
also,
>this whole thread
>pic related

>>20829207
A lot of foreign sites are hosted in the US only for convenience or cheap hosting fees.

>>20829208
you will have to obtain a temporary license from the gubment that authorizes you to encrypt your internet traffic

in order to be issued with one, you will have to undergo a THOROUGH rectal examination

>>20829227

>usa dissolves

At least we still have our freedoms, nobody can take that away from us! Viva America!

>>20829214

>>20829260
the mayans never lived anywhere near the US.

I can still get my anime right?
Shit's gonna go down if I can't.

>>20829323

anime is the most unamerican thing on the internet I can think of

of course you won't be able to get it

Still isn't as bad as the `Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers' bill.

>>20829323
>shit's gonna go down
>PFFFFFFTHFFFTH!!!
Oh god no, please spare us.

>>20829323
you'll sit on the streets wearing a guy fawkes mask whilst holding a mudkips sign?

oh god pure anarchy, the government must be horrified

The FCC didn't make TV terrible, this can't be too bad.

>Nationalistic gloating
>mfw they don't realize everything that happens is setting up for GLOBAL GOVERNMENT

I'm frowning right now at the sadness and the fact that you lifeless idiots think this is anything to joke about.

>>20829361
This. First they use CP as an excuse, then piracy. I think the next big thing to combat will be bullying, and then we'll be really fucked.

I'm not saying that CP is good, only that the government uses that as an excuse to lock you down.

>>20829323
well the us and japan are both acta signatories (acta coming 2012)

even though anime isn't aired in the US so they can't scream OMG LOST SALES, but they make more money suing filthy bakas like you than letting their works be distributed for free

>>20829407
I joke because I don't give two shits about society.
I'm a hermit and I enjoy that lifestyle.
If I can't live my lifestyle of choice then I won't live at all.

ANARCHY RIGHT GUYS
