I can't tell you enough that the way the Internet is being RAPED by America really saddens me.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, MADE the WWW PURELY to be free from censorship! For most of us on BHW the internet is OUR LIVES, certainly mine! I knew this day was coming, just not this soon.

Sorry, but, FUCK AMERICA.

So people should be able to murder,steal,sell drugs if they are doing it to express themselves?
 
I disagree. Politicians aren't stupid, they know EXACTLY what they're doing. Everything is going according to plan.

In a sense yes, but the unintended consequences of their actions and legislation will come back to bite them...even if it ruins them and the nation while they're at it. The Plan you speak of is unknown territory for the U.S. and unfortunately it will not be pretty.

Where did my country go?
 
WTF! That Is serious shit! must be sucks for the owners, fuck SOPA.
 
Theres more to the story. Megaupload is currently suing Universal for abusing its DMCA power to take down their video / commercial. Megaupload had a music video that had a couple of major artists saying that they supported Megaupload, and then Universal did a DMCA takedown of the video on youtube. I guess this is their way of saying, 'we own you and politicians and have judges in our backpockets'.

Well, we will send them a message. And we will show the Government People... that they cannot take whatever they want! And that this... this is our Internet!

Yeah, right, just wait until they approve SOPA, and within a few weeks you will lose all the infrastructure to be able to fight back..

The internet is over..

Obama specifically stated he would not sign this bill, SOPA and PIPA cannot pass without the presidents signature.

Remain where you are and someone from homeland security will be there shortly to ship you to our FEMA camp for your safety.

Hmm I don't undertand the shock from here. It's completly illegal, it's normal to take down a site like this. If they don't know where to host their shit... is their problem.

Uhh yeah it could. It'd could pass through the house of representatives. It's being voted on Monday.

Like he said he won't sign several other bills that he ended up signing?

Right..

Furthermore, even if SOPA fails, eventually something like it is going to get approved.

Regardless, even without SOPA, you can see what they did with megaupload.

If they can close megaupload, they can just as well close filesonic, mediafire, rapidshare, wupload and so forth, with ease!...
 
They are sending a message.... loud and clear...
" if you have pirated content.... we are coming for you"

Well, we will send them a message. And we will show the Government People... that they cannot take whatever they want! And that this... this is our Internet!

That reminded me of Avatar, hence the reply. :D

OMG multiquote works!

PS. Rapidshare must be shitting their pants?
 
The owners have been arrested in extradited to Virgina.

Did they ever have pirated stuff on megaupload? I remember they use to but didnt so much afterwards.

he was suing universal and somebody else.. I guess they were plotting on him

But he should have not hosted in USA
