reading my facebook wall these anti-SOPA dopes don't even know what the fuck they're complaining about. its the typical gen XYZ mindset nowadays that clings on the current wave of discussion, is heavily influenced by these marketing campaigns. zero tech knowledge. zero business knowledge. zero intellectual property/copyright problems. the same anti-corporate/being rich is bad types that were so big in the occupy movement. its such a hype movement.
For fucks sake, I have like 4 or 5 shares on FB of the Google Statement on this. DO YOU KNOW HOW EVIL GOOGLE IS? talking about freedom and liberty whatever the fuck, most people don't even know they're getting tracked everywhere online. people are idiots.
I have several friends on FB who are e-commerce site owners, programmers and IT guys, and every one of them has posted something about how much they dislike PIPA/SOPA. Two of them are Tea Party members, one is more an OWS-type. The three smartest web companies I regularly interact with (Google, Wikipedia, Reddit) all are protesting it. My wife and I don't like it and my wife owns a software company that regularly faces piracy issues. My personal experience doesn't seem to match your characterization.
SOPA only applies to foreign websites who host illegal content. No website is getting "shut down", the whole purpose in essence is to target companies who travel and set up operation outside the scope of the united states to give away free music and movies. The law disables their ad revenue banner ads, delists them since you can't file a takedown notice for them. The IT department wants a totally unregulated, but you can easily replace "stolen intellectual property" with "child pornography" and it would be the exact same bill but there would be no protest because of the marketing efforts by the tech community would fall flat. Its all smoke and mirrors. Illegal content is illegal content. The thing is of course IT is for this, they want everything free everywhere, regardless of who created the content. Of course Google is for it, they profit via banner ads from these illegal warez sites. but of course this is a "first amendment issue". again, most people have no idea what they're arguing against, they see buzz words and jump on the bandwagon.
on tickets ive used it says on the back that the events of the game can not be disseminated in any way shape or form without prior written consent...
Must not have been written on my tickets. And that is not applicable to SOPA, unless I were to claim that the people in the photos were me or my employees, and set up a website on a remote island outside of the US while profiting on it.
oh i never claimed it was applicable to sopa, but there is a fine line once we start this kind of legislation. denny is profiting from this site, your illegal pictures add to that and why can you post pictures of a game, but someone else shouldnt stream video? isnt video just a collection of sequential pictures?
oh give me a break, did someone copy your homework in high school? and where can i find these free movies you speak of
never heard of it, i stream netflix through my wii though, and occasionally download $5000 computer software to resell overseas
