Governments failing at stuff

It is pretty legit. There are many web communities that are signing protest ledgers and stuff to get this bill overthrown. I will find the site later and link the protest thingie.

If it get passed pretty much international communication like we have here will be cut off from the US... All .eu, .me, .jp, .au, .(whatever) IP addresses will be cut off from the US intercontinental list. Meaning if you are from Europe; the US member can no longer talk to you over MSN because copywrite laws are different and therefore copywrite infringement material can be leaked through that contact...

BS imo.

^ whoa.
Ill post Sef's link on my facebook...
I dont wanna be cut off from my european buddies :<

The future looks murky, only the americans can petition against this, which makes perfect sense, but I'd love to opt in.

If the bill passes, then our BG family will be broken into pieces
I oppose this bill... but as an Australian Citizen, I have no say.
American governments... greedy bastereds... (not anyone on BG of course)

I have conflicting viewpoints on this bill by agreeing and disagreeing with it at the same time.

I agree because people infringe on sh*t all the time on the web and never give it a second thought. If you put something online, like artwork, and then have someone else use it and take credit for it, that would piss me off--hell yeah I'd want this person to remove that art from his/her website.

On the other hand, I think this bill is going to cause a sh*tstorm--companies will sue people, people will sue companies, and all hell is going to break loose. Plus I'm a Liberal and I want my net to be liberal.
