Explanation of the law SOPA

palencia33 asked:

A full blackout is a reasonable response, because, in the language that is so popular with politicians, SOPA is going to result in excessive regulation that will cost jobs and likely cause significant increases in the cost of services, perhaps to the point where those services will no longer be able to provided on an ad supported or free to consumer basis. The only impediment is how to make this coordinated. For instance all the Google, Bing, and Yahoo are going to have cooperate. Otherwise any blackout may simply result in loss of customers for one service, not a clear message to call one’s representative. I suspect that if the services choose a minute during the day when no results are returned, only a message to call your representative and state your opinion on SOPA, the bill will die. If Google and MS tell users that search will die if SOPA is passed, no amount of politicking will be able to counteract that message. Anything less is a show of support for SOPA by the major players.

  4. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX everything XXXXXXXXXXXXX is XXXXXXXXXXXXXX fine XXXX trust XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX your XXXXXXXXXX government.

  5. Wait… It denies my rights as a U.S. citizen, will probably wipe YOUTUBE out, and ill be arrested for this comment for putting the name YOUTUBE in here…. and SOPA is a cover up for this! we’ve got our selves into some deep shit.. you know what to do…. stop it.

  7. Anonymous. How about you guys take a break from harassing companies for making money and at least try do something to stop this?

  9. In germany, where I come from. We have an organisation calle Gema. It’s for musicans to get mone every time their songs are played. The result: every second music video on Youtube is restricket. Its not as extreme as in this vid. explainen, but…

  10. So…lets get this straight…if this law were to pass we’d have no more privacy in our homes, no more freedom or liberty to ourselves. We would have to live with fake smiles, acting like everything is okay? Yeah because the people would totally not riot on this at all. This is something to riot over and slap back in the governments faces. Seriously this is even worse than SOPA or PIPA why do they think these laws will pass if they get even worse?

  12. @Ravage017 I was the thinking the same GODDAMN THING!! GEORGE ORWELL KNEW EVERYTHING!!

  13. I sure sopa wont pass, and if it does a lot of people are going to be shot/ killed over it if it does pass. (hence the people getting shot are the one’s who votes YES on the bill)

  15. I agree, except that this law does not suit us well everyone does not suit the big powerful and administrators of the Internet – NOT THE “SOPA” —

  16. fuck this the government really shoouldent pass this….if they pass it then they will have to go to prison to

  18. ANONYMOUS somos todos!! y cada uno, no olvidamos, pero lo de no perdonamos…..No nos convirtamos en el mal que deploramos y combatimos, gnosti te autvn, conocete a ti mismo (empezando por pensar por ti mismo) y siempre defiende la VERDAD!

  19. Hackers should attack the military, and all sellers of weapons, a must do party on all the time and not let the world go to heaven, before 2012 😉 use constantly wifi sites when hacking from the state free zones 😉

  20. @wqfdsd00
    Hackers should destroy sources of knowledge and information? Isn’t this video trying to promote the absolutely unrestricted passing of knowledge? You want anon to destroy schools? Why?

    I disagree. Education is currently protected under the fair dealing clauses of copyright, and therefore, telling your wife how to make tasty fried chicken wouldn’t be illegal.

    Let’s say you had a great idea for a book on a teenager taking on an authoritarian government. If I obtained your manuscript, and decided to pass it on as my own, would that be sharing free of charge? I didn’t remove the original copy, so it can’t be stealing.

  22. blow them all! hackers should destroy any source of knowledge, information those global monsters . Anonymous save us! Please don’t let them to control us!

  23. Before you know it we’ll be put into jail for saying “Hi, how are you?” because that’s a copyrighted sentence and we must not ask our friends these things in an email.
