link?

Also, I don't think shit like this can pass in Amurrica. People are too obsessed with their "freedoms". I mean, just imagine the chaos that will reign if they actually start banning and charging people on facebook, lol.

American laws only affect Americans. Just go to a Russian website.

I just feel like when your average female 20something Women Studies Major graduate won't be able to log in to her favorite website, the Occupy Wall Street movement will get a new, much more radical boost.

>>21089740
They can force ISPs to block access to websites like that.

>>21089756
Derp. I wasn't paying attention, lol.

Sorry, it's 4 in the morning and I gotta go to sleep.

Great idea congress, hope y'all like flipping burgers

>implying the media corporations would allow piracy to decrease

Haha americans fail so hard for doing this to themselves. Europe ftw.

Those boosts will means nothing if the law is already there.

If they are thiking about a law like this one its already loss.
Its totally obvious this law is/would be stupid, and they are still thinking about having it. Even if this law doenst pass we are still at a losss because this show how stupid congressman can be

>>21089717
they are also obsessed with "christian values" which means at least 4chan is going down

>americans
lol, enjoy

>>21089885
You know that this could remove USA websites you like right?

PS: I am not from usa also

Finally, something real and genuinely positive to affect online piracy for good. Just pay you fucking thieves! This will boost the economy a fair bit. Piracy is probably why the economy is in the shitter anyhow.

Seriously, just move to canada, its near USA

>MFW I will just legally download stuff from nelabels AND WILL NOT BUY MUSIC

>>21089919
Your face almost no one knows about netlabels.

Big labels are doing it because of the average man pirating their stuff, not because more serious music listeners doing it they are a ultra small part of their income

>>21089901
>Piracy is probably why the economy is in the shitter anyhow.

pic related and a half

>>21089926
reducing or removing piracy, you reduce the chance of people trying non big labels songs

>>21089901
Oh dear, big labels won't be able to buy that second private jet they've always dreamed about.

>>21089964
>reducing or removing piracy, you reduce the chance of people trying non big labels songs

Almost no one search about underground music, it would remove the ability to some that do it. but the % of listeners that do it are pretty small.

>>21089977
What they are doing are prevention not remedy. They are making sure in the future its become way harder to people to search about music, in the case people start to want to saerch about it

>>21089927
>Implying if people paid for all the stuff they've stolen over the last 10 years it wouldn't get the world out of debt 3 times over.

Go scrounge some more thief, you'll be first in the gas chamber come the New World Order. We have ways of dealing with little untermensch like you.

>>21090006
Sorry, you're just not a very good troll.

better download as many flac discog torrents as possible!

>>21089964
that's stupid. it would actually IMPROVE the marke for indie labels because when you give away free album like Death Grips they can't just go download the latest commercial bullshit for free, know what I'm saying?

>>21090020
>Implying it's not true.

Prove it wrong, aside from the joke part. Way to avoid the issue.

>>21090020
You lose, the economy would be great again if there was no piracy. The 99% are what's fucked everything up, spending money they don't have on things they don't need. Stop trying to live like rock stars and you'll get by fine.

>>21090058
except if no one buys anything then retail sails fall and the stock market crashes and we have to bailout the rich so they can give us all jobs, face it, spending money you don't have on your credit card is patriotic

>>21090058
>>21090047
Musicians don't make up a really large part of the population, and the majority of the music we own is produced by people with plenty of money; us not paying for all the albums we own wouldn't hurt the economy any worse than listening to them on youtube, and paying for them would fuck the economy up worse because we'd have no money, dickheads.

speaking of piracy, where can i get a copy of this song? they want 5 bucks for the EP and that's just too expensive, best song i heard in a long time tho

http://vimeo.com/26970219

meh... with all due respect to moot and the causes he evidently believes in, this website blows everything completely out of porportion, neither of these acts will force youtube or facebook to shutdown, and the whole logic of the site seems to be "if you read it this way there is this small chance that they could do this or that, SO THEY WILL!", and as far as the so called "protect IP Act", that's not going to pass, do you know how many times they have tried to pass something similar? it has never gone through, I don't see why it would now, especially that this time people actually know it exists.

>>21090074
>5 bucks
>for an EP
>too expensive

wait, what?

>>21090099
the reason moot is scared is because he knows 4chan will get blacklisted for cp. lets be honest, part of the reason 4chan was such a success early on was because it was basically a child porn trading spot.

>>21090064
SO how would you feel if you got rich by hard work, then some twat said "you owe me money!". You'd say "go fuck yourself, i earned that!", which is exactly what the 'rich' are doing. They got that way by hard work, skills, and just generally being better people than you. Don't blame them for you being inferior.

>>21089702
mail/telephone
record shop/live shows

keep your interwebs and fuck it

>>21090124
i agree but in my opinion you're too liberal. i think the rich should form a new aristocracy and rule us. i mean lets face it the french revolutionary was a wrong turn in western civilization. bring back monarchy.

>>21090118
naw dude, it really wasn't.

>>21090046
>that's stupid. it would actually IMPROVE the marke for indie labels because when you give away free album like Death Grips they can't just go download the latest commercial bullshit for free, know what I'm saying?

Big labels have payola and people WILL listen to their stuff by it and the effects of it.
With piracy you can discover some artist and easily pirate his album to check how it is. With artists that release their song for free, you will need to discover the artist that released their song for free, if you discover another artist without free stuff you will have a harder time to check it that can be enought to some not do it and after some time doing it join the 'underground music world"

The discussion on piracy vs payment is moot. This will do nothing to stop piracy even if it does pass, which is unlikely. The only way to stop piracy (and even then it would only be in one country) would be to force all ISPs to offer some kind of walled garden or subscription model whereby users could only access the websites the ISP or the government dictated.

Piracy is here to stay, deal with it.

>>21090118
I am pretty sure that you were never here early on and have no clue what you are talking about, it was never a "cp trading site", what ever the myths might say, it started out life as an anime nerd site actually...

MAKE IT HAPPEN

There are millions of places to get free, legal music without having to steal online. Quit making excuses for being a criminal, and admit what you're doing to yourself. There is no excuse anymore.

>>21090219
0/10

>>21090230
yeah, just stream it off youtube to your iphone instead of downloading it, then google is doing the stealing not you!

>>21090232
you seriously think the FBI doesn't consider 4chan a child porn hub? are you just lying to yourself or really that naive? every entry level pedo knows 4chan is the place to get started.

>implying piracy doesn't equal more touring sales
>implying album sales make more than gig sales
>implying pirating music is a bad thing

Y'all niggas be saying some shit that I don't even be getting.

>>21090241
I know for a fact that they do, but the FBI also thinks that Juggalos are a dangerous gang... I wouldn't really put too much stock into what they think... also real pedos don't bother with places like this, it's too open, most of their trading goes on in usenet and underground networks
