AyKay47 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 hey guys, I just wanted to write quickly and let you know that I like what the phpfreaks team has done to acknowledge these human rights intrusive bills, it hits home and proves a point, and most likely isn't too far off from what most social interactive websites would look like if one of these bills was passed. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyKay47 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 the "stop online piracy act", basically gives the government control over what we view on the internet. http://www.freep.com/article/20120118/COL41/120118005/SOPA-PIPA-protest-Wikipedia-Google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Chupacodra Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm glad for every one of my favourite sites that has an announcement to stop SOPA. Good that you make a stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If SOPA were to pass, that blackout screen we added would be a very real possibility. It's scary to think that, but it's true. If one person were to post a link to a site that had a copyrighted song (even if it was a link to a Youtube video or something), our site could be blacklisted for a while. The theory "guilty until proven innocent" is what these bills are trying to say, when it should be the other way around. If you live in the US, contact your representatives, tell them why this is so wrong. Don't know where to go to do so? You can use the link we provided to Google's page. Don't live in the US? Encourage your American buddies to stand up and fight these bills. These bills will still affect you, even if you don't live in the US.

premiso Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Not even linking to it. If anyone were to even write about torrenting or reference a movie or a site that is not kosher (which could just have 1 copyright infringement from an image) that site can be taken down just for even discussing the matter. It is much, much worse than people seem to think. It is disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much, much worse than people seem to think. It is disgusting. exactly. Since they want to put the burden of proof is on the website owner, they can just see someone talking about it and shut them down until proven otherwise.
