SOPA will kill the internet !

Postby kenz3001 » Sat Dec 17, 2011 4:04 pm

if you dont know what SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is ... is an extream law that that American Government is trying to get passed in order to censor the internet ... this law is not just about piracy its about freedom of speach and any copy righted material from Quates to ingame video (lets plays)

i am from the UK and this afects me as much as every 1 else

i found this Video that explains SOPA in more detail

[video=youtube_share;JhwuXNv8fJM]http://youtu.be/JhwuXNv8fJM[/video]

i urge all Americans do what you think is right for the future of mods, indies and small businesses

Scary, This is what we already where expecting... This happens when you give big companies and governments the most open network as there playground. The only way to stop stuff like this from happening, is by rethinking the way computers and Internet work. For Example redesign the PC that way that it communicate from PC to PC, and built op a web on a way that no government could control, so no PC to DNS server talking...

To bad that I don't have the knowledge and money to come with a web rebuilt on the market :P.

Sieg Heil Amerika, god bless you. In my country we see the same happening, not this extreme but still some things are changing on the web. But even in europ we will feel things like this.... lets hope its a hoax.

Vote got delayed, but that probably means they're going to try to sneak it in under the radar later after the uproar has died down. Already contacted my representatives about it but I'll probably have to do it again.

Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.

uhh... this doesn't really look like an issue for me...
save the webpage, open up with wordpad and delete some of the scripts... it's what i do with annoying surveys which never disappear after filling in...
sure, the page might look wierd sometime, but it's worth it :D

this law will take down internet super giants like YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter ... it has already affected file host MegaUpload (were i keep all my big files like my RenX installer) just because of people uploading copy righted media when it should be the uploader to blame not the host ... this is like buying a car and having a crash and taking the car manufacturer to court when it was driver error not a mechanical failure at fault ... but this law will give the power to basically take down any server / host in any country not just the USA

ALL internet websites are built 100% from scripts.
as long the website exists (so the scripts are still there), you can ALWAYS change them, as long you save the page as a seperate file.
this ''pop-up'' (or barricade) has a website as source. just try to find the scripts in the huge list of them, save, and open with IE.
TA-DA!

EDIT: you are right though, but killing the internet is like nuking the entire planet without getting yourself killed, or with no-one complaining about it.
yes, the internet is THAT big. ^^

If this bill get's passed, I really hope they DO shut down major parts of youtube and facebook.

Why?

Because they will probably make the mistake in removing and/or blocking something that is within the laws of another country. While they apparently can do this without consequence because of their own laws and the agreements they have made with youtube and other sites, this will set off other countries, maybe even the entirety of Europe.

Recently, although it has died down, massive attacks were performed by simply the public in europe, if you were against a certain group, like a bank, corporation or against a certain bill, you formed a group, had them download some software and performed a combined attack against the sites of those corporations. A large variety of different attacks were sighted.

Should America succeed in this moronic idea which is simply a path towards suppression of the populace, they will at some point make a misstep that will cause something far more effective then people demonstrating in the streets, people could, and hopefully will, take to the very thing America wants to censor, and hack, crack, DDos or whatever else you can think off to get the point across: we AIN'T happy about this!

Yours sincerely,
Demigan.

this makes me think though... there has been 42 tries to kill hitler, but none of them succeeded.
so, would this take longer then you might think?

EDIT:
jam, this is a very little example of scripting:

1. open wordpad.
2. copy pasta this (i've put the <\b><\u><\i> slashes at the wrong direction, to make it visible):
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My very first webpage!</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<b><u><i>TA-DA!<\b><\u><\i>
</BODY>
</HTML>

3. save as whatever.html.
4. double-click on your file,
TA-DA!

America the state of liberty, when you are blind. Really, thats what America is. The press is made there that way, that they only show you one side of the story, especially when its about war.
