Seems like THW might be under fire soon enough.
SOPA has been passed.
That means if someone links to a site that conducts piracy, or has the slighest hint of conducting piracy, this site could come under direct fire.
And what if an investigation is conducted, which turns out that THW is not responsible for hosting these links? Can you counter-sue? No. You cannot.
They will essentially shut your site down with no hope of reclaiming it.
Don't think so?
Megaupload is gone already. Yes, it's easy to upload something pirated to their website, but did they approve of it? Did they have links all of their webpage saying "CLICK HERE FOR FREE MUSIC"? Nope.
Think you're safe over there in Europe?
I think not.
You'll just get extradited over to the US and sued just like the rest of us.
You're going to start losing sites like the following, but certainly not limited to;
Youtube
Facebook
Megaupload
Motion Empire
Msn.com
Zam
Hive Workshop
WowHead
And the like..
Better start taking down your World of Warcraft images in your signatures.
Remove models that have anything to do with any game that is copywrited.
Stop posting your memes, stop posting your smilies, stop creating links, stop suggesting torrents, don't even mention private server.
Oh don't forget that this will cost tax payers millions of dollars a year.
It's too late now to do anything except get pissed over the fact that your government is controlling you more and more every year.
Maybe if there's enough uproar the act will get revoked, but it's unlikely.
Welcome to the future of stranglehold operations =D
