Optimus124 - I just going to assume you didn’t read the last page before replying, otherwise you probably would have known I was talking to someone else.
Please check what other people wrote before you reply sir.
So I’ll read along and you’ll simply use the reply button. We’re good 
Regarding what some of these moguls. That’s just crazy. It’s gonna be a vicious cycle now. Media won’t be able to make partnerships with the companies that distribute their content. This could get really ugly. So one of our constitutional rights is hanging in the balance because of the entertainment industry. . . . . interesting
I just have to point this out. SOPA is more Oligarchy that Communist. In Communism, the people would have free access to information and the internet. (Source: The Communist Manifesto)
Oligarchy is the rule of the many by the few with wealth.
There is no actual Communist government in existence. China and North Korea are both Oligarchies.
You used the “O” word so you will now be branded a terrorist, thrown in some random detainment facility without trial, food, nor water as allowed to do so thanks to the NDAA, and be tortured until you admit your terrorist ways, after which you will probably be shot.
China is communist like the US is a democracy.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The go-to for porn hub storage is gone?:tdown:
Fucking bullshit…
Hot Damn. Can’t deny there is a ton of IPs that have stuff distributed on there. However, they’ve must have been getting things ready for months. I guess they happened to strike while the iron on this issue is hot. The site was brought down without SOPA. Corporations must not want to stack charges for an infringement case and present it to the appropriate agency. I guess that’s too much work for them. Still crazy that they took the whole site down.
Saw this on another forum, but I might as well drop this off here…
SOPA in a nutshell

Justice Department calls MegaUpload an ‘international organized criminal enterprise,’ founder Kim Dotcom arrested http://bit.ly/z5EBEF
You are aware that Obama signed the NDAA after he said he was going to veto it right? Flip flop Obama. Obama is a traitor to the US Constitution and ultimately to We the People. I do not associate myself with traitors that try to away my rights. Ron Paul opposes all forms of big government and supports individual rights and freedoms.
We are still talking about SOPA. . . . right?
Yes.

All the stuff that’s happening right now concerning NDAA, SOPA, PIPA, PATRIOT act ties in one way or another. They all play specific roles that support one thing, big government and government control.
actually we have one of the best internet setups in the world. Several ISPs, all Canadian based and owned. We also have the highest ratio of high speed users, as well as many many MANY other top achievements:

and for the record, with SMALL exceptions (lord knows I gotta go see Batman and Avengers in theatre), I will be viewing all movies from streaming websites and torrents. My bluray collection is now complete, as I dont see why I am paying stupid prices to a dying group of thieves. Thanks Hollywood, remember you dug your own graves when you’re begging for handouts in a decade
Republican presidential hopefuls voice their opinions on SOPA: http://mashable.com/2012/01/19/sopa-threat-freedom/
Wait!? They just very recently took down a website that they think was involved in distributing pirated copyrighted material???
And this was today???
[INDENT=2]“The DOJ has also issued more than 20 search warrants in the US and eight other countries, seized more than $50m in assets in the US, Netherlands, and Canada, and seized more than 18 domain names associated with MegaUpload. The investigation was led by the FBI with broad international assistance from New Zealand, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, and the Philippines.”[/INDENT]
So why do we need SOPA or PIPA for???
Someone please enlighten me. o_O
And on a related note, this might sound like a “conspiracy theory” , but has anyone here actually seen SOPA and/or PIPA coverage mentioned on any of the prime-time news media networks – i.e., NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, etc.
