Bill going into Congress

[ChubbyPikachu25]

Here is America, economy doing horrible. and they want to worry about piracy, I do not get it.

If this bill gets passed in the usa along with the self defense something or other act that lets the military arrest us for no reason and hold us indefinitely it will be ENGLAND HERE I COME

I live in UK, so am I safe?

Darn you kenny!

More than half of the videos on youtube are not about gaming! And, if you just make a video of the game, you are making your own take on it, so it isn't internet piracy by definition! Why do we give congress money to do stupid stuff!

As of now, the new Bill SOPA will prohibit any use of any copyright material IN ALL COUNTRIES. If you use American CopyRighted material, The Us will send in troops to take you out.

[kieranchocian]

I don't think they can do that, can they? All countries have their own rules, and if someone from England were to use American copyrighted material, it's not America's deal to punish us. Surely?

Watch this, he's been a reliable guy for me for quite a while. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to, it's only his words.

I honestly doubt that this will ever be passed. It's idiotic.
I doub that they have the REAL power to invade, it's mostly just big talk, otherwise i'd assume sites like ThePirateBay would have been shut down a long time ago.

This is madness. For people that were born in the U.S. you here amazing stories of the constitution and Declaration of Independence. This bill will violate our rights as United States citizens. Passing this bill will end the internet, it would not be a surprise if every high member of google killed themselves. It starts to seem America was founded by heroes just for it all to be turned into slavery D:

I don't even live in the US, but sent the petition letter anyway. This goes against what the US was founded upon (Freedom, Freedom of speech.), and is ridiculous.

It's like banning driving because a small percentage of drivers cause crashes..

I did the same, but the worst thing is, most other countries follow the U.S regarding internet standards and laws. If this passes in the U.S, we're all screwed.
