→ STOP SOPA BEFORE IT DESTROYS THE WEB ←

There won't be a 4chan any more.

Or any other website you actually enjoy.

Seriously, you people are the worst.

>>720478
well.

that sounds horrifying.

Can anyone else confirm, or is this just sensationalism?

>>720454

This will become a reality.
Reddit, Twitter, 4chan, Tumblr, Digg everything will be gone.

You know the EA forums?

The interwebs will be like that...but instead of EA and its games you arent allowed to talk negatively about, its going to be Murrika and its wars you arent allowed to talk negatively about.

and nothing of value will be lost. I will be a little sad if 4chan goes under, but that will just mean I will have to get a life.

If you don't enjoy it, why are you spending your precious time here?

Watch this video OP but replace video games with whatever SOPA deems "acceptable".

>>720502
Or those websites will be forced to be sold to the major Hollywood corporations for "protection".

But thank's to the NDAA, if you leave your basement and get a life, the government will disappear you.

Basically everything on the internet that could potentially enable copyright infringement in any form will be censored/blocked/removed entirely.

It's another one of those internet-killing bills that never gets real support beyond the jews who run big media companies.

Oh....you mean like Apple, where they won't even ACKNOWLEDGE a problem, let alone let people speak about it on a blog or in their or anyone else's forum?

Yea.....

I've been following this with the rest of you for the past few days, but something I only just heard about. Is it true that a section of the bill regards making a PC too powerful (or ordering such parts without being part of the major tech companies) throws suspicion on you for advocating piracy?

>>720555
why would they take down the entire site?

Why wouldn't they just have the site remove the content, like they do now?

YouTube, for example, already seems to be doing a pretty good job of complying with production studios in taking down music and movie stuff.

I don't understand what's wrong with what's being done now, already.

>>720582
Yes, kind of how stockpiling food or ammo makes you a terrorist under the NDAA.

The government is taking away your right to a fair trial while at the same time declaring everything to be criminal.

Because that's not enough for them. They don't want anything potentially interfering with their control of the market. They want to stop piracy using extreme methods they don't really understand.

It sounds shitty because it is. That's what happens when you have rampant uncontrolled free market capitalism, the biggest businesses get their hands in everything and start pushing bills like this with puppets in congress.

Pretty much the biggest reason they want to do it this way is because they are already fighting sites like Google/Youtube and others for control over censorship, and being given the power by law to simply block the site from users would let them get around the lawsuits and fair use and all that stuff relating to rights.

This will only affect you at all if you're illegally downloading things.
