Let's talk about SOPA

[Gaijin]

I don't think you have the right idea. Any sites you use on American servers can be taken down, so if you enjoy using any sites like that there is a chance you won't for long.

And if you think hackers will start a war, you're wrong for the most part. If any hacker does that, they are misinformed and ignorant. "Yeah..these old people in Congress are passing a bill to censor the internet because they don't know what it is and how much they are ruining. Let's scare them even more with the anonymity of the internet by hacking their websites." There is no logic in hacking .gov websites, and it won't help the cause one bit.

I highly doubt that it will pass. It violates the constitution and our rights.

Where have you been? The constitution has been violated time and time again since its creation.

This is my first time of hearing about this, but if it does get passed then there will definitely be a huge fight between the government and hackers. I myself am against this motion, it sounds quite bad and surely would invade our human rights?

Lol, same as I said before. You won't see much hackers fighting back or doing anything productive. The only "fights" you'll see is of big companies fighting back in legal battles (youtube, google, facebook) to keep their websites up. I doubt the big ones will fall, they have insane amounts of money to be spent in legal disputes.

Small businesses, blogs, and forums will take the biggest hit here. All this bill will do is make it harder for websites to move up, which is not the goal at all. The bill is insanely silly tbh.

Yes I mentioned Protect IP in the OP, the two are pretty much identical.

I hate myself right now, I misused the term Hacker...
It has happend with Anonymous, Script Kiddies got the LOIC and were raping buttons as they usually do.
While I enjoy Youtube and all the videos I'm NOT ABLE to watch because of some stupid crap like GEMA or Sony, I don't really care nor give a crap if youtube is being seized, everything ends sometime, only thing I care about is keeping my own servers online and running...
The thing however is;
There will be someone who will take this way to serious and same as with Anon, inspire people to fight back, with people I don't mean Hackers as Hackers, but media type hackers a.k.a kiddies...

But let's forget that, Youtube and Google for example, will most likely last forever while Facebook will fall one day or another undepended of SOPA... I agree with you that SOPA will make it hard for People to run their Blogs or Websites, which would be sad for everyone who is trying to get into buisness...

IMO, SOPA will fail to stop the real Piracy, since it's a fact that TPB is been online for years now and fighting against the Law all the time, let me check... ohh what a wonder... IT'S ONLINE

Seizing websites, taking them down, will only force Spreaders to find another way of uploading their cracked and ripped content, it will not stop piracy at all...

I agree that SOPA is silly, but hey... it's not the first Bill that's silly, inside or outside of US, fact...

A pillow can be considered a “passive” weapon.

Piracy will exist forever, there is no-way in stoping it... well there is one, Brain-Washing, making humans into real mind-less slaves... (everyone)
