The Official SOPA/PIPA Thread (Mega.Upload Shut Down)

That's why you don't pay for illegal things

The problem is that there are a great many who use and pay for premium membership for legitimate reasons other than downloading illegal copies of protected material. Take any gaming community as an example. Many community montages or events wouldn't work without the use of upload sites such as MU. Many underground film makers and aspiring artists use torrent site and upload sites as a source of promotion.

The websites of the Justice department and Universal Music Group, which had been involved in litigation with MU, were down on Thurday. The sites were attacked by members of the hacker group Anonymous in response to the actions against MU, according to a report on CNET News.

not really.. china is becoming capitalism now

Uh. no. They are not a capitalistic society. They adopted adopted a quasi-capitalistic system because communism does not work, and they're economy would come to a standstill, like it did in Russia.

No one is saying they are capitalist. They are fundamentally a communist state. The difference is, since the 60s and more so since the 80s their economy has become more and more decentralised with major banking reform. Nowadays its more or less a communist state with a market economy.

Fuck.
This is the beginning of the end.

I know how bad the internet is looking right now, but the actual real internet community as a whole is a whole shitload stronger right now. It's as if the entire real internet community is standing together to reset SOPA/PIPA and any other government censorship acts. For the first time in quite a while, I feel like we actual are strong then the government and will be able to keep the government from SOPA/PIPA

Well the alarming thing is SOPA doesn't need the support of the Internet to pass. And backers like the MPAA will have more power regardless of SOPA/PIPA as demonstrated with their influence in the shut down of Mega Upload.

FREEDOM.

In 60 years, when your grandchildren are hearing your stories, you will either say that this was the very right that you protected to the last bullet, or that you sat down as you let your government take it from you.


Your choice, America.

I find it funny how we are trying to spread democracy across the world, but we can't even handle it in our own fucking country.

Spends trillions to fight for the freedom of people in countries across the world but attempts to pass a bill to oppress their own.

Exaggeration I know, but fucked up logic nonetheless.
