WTF is SOPA ? aka The American Government trying to ruin the INTERNET
"RETRACTION : Activision are not on the list of supporters for SOPA, EA is. The point is still valid, however I'd like to apologise for incorrectly naming Activision. I mixed up the two publishers in my notes."

"I actually found out who my representative is and just finished contacting him.
However, it's unfair to blame America(ns) for this, as if to say the honest people living here are pushing for this. Americans with intelligence can and will do something about it, but you'd be troubled to find someone who wakes up smiling ear-to-ear because this bill is going to pass in his/her country. Attack the government; not the people. There are some stupid people in power here, but not all of us are idiots."
"SEPA ( not real , but what those the future hold , maybe this ? ) ; Stop English Piracy Act . A bill that will ban any use of the worlds No. 1 language , unless you buy the rights to use it . The film industry would be affected , the music industry too even countries that use English , but are not England , like India , Canada or New Zealand . What language are you gonna use ? The language of the Aborigines ( no disrespect ) ? STOP S.O.P.A. TODAY , STOP SOPA TOMORROW ! "
"ATTENTION EVERYONE IN SUPPORT OF SOPA:
the very fact that you are here means that you use the internet. It means you use, have used, and will continue to use youtube. If this bill passes, these things will be taken from you. Your ability to use the internet will be forever crippled. You will never be able to use youtube again. Any filesharing sites, sites where you can upload pictures, articles, text, etc will be taken down. that may include facebook, etc. you really want to kill the internet?! "
"The first computer was created in the US, the Internet was created in the US, Youtube which you are watching on right now was created in the US and so was Google who now owns Youtube... so yeah, the US sucks. You should probably judge the US some more..."
"It's sad when i say i agree with what you're saying. Especielly when politician get insider tips from corporations too, which would normally be illegal if anyone else did it.
But, its actually good however, that people do spread the message. Politicians like ron paul, nancy (just two politicians i quickly found was against the bill) are slowly starting to change their minds regarding the bill. The trouble can be obama however, im not sure he'll veto this."
" Look dude... eventually the act will go so far as to take down stuff like youtube and facebook because they can also be linked to all sorts of so called "infringment". So you should be scared and it won't benefit anyone cause its going to come to we are all FUCKED like MercuryGamers says"
"the servers of youtube are in the us if its blocked no one is allowed in but if its out of the us then no it wont affect you but they are in the us so you not allowed into youtube because its blocked in the us you cant get into the server because any server in the us is blocked form everyone because they block it from every one but if it blocks a site out of the us only us people are blocked"
"This comment will be taken off YouTube for copyright infringement because I said "YouTube".

" Protection from piracy? bullshit! this has nothing to do whit piracy. This bill that the congress is trying to pass is a direct violation of the first amendment. Companies already started making players and dvds that has a coding in it that would only read coded cds. This is the matter of people that doesn't even know how to work a simple computer trying to gain control of everything. becoming more and more of a dictatorship. cut the crap. i love my country but this is too much."
"I have an idea.
Congress, and our ELECTED government officials needs to know that their actions will have consequences. We find out any and all who made sure these bills got as far as they did, and we make sure they NEVER hold an elected position AGAIN.
And if it comes to it, well, in the immortal words of JFK "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
"the point of the matter here is that there are no longer countries with flags, but the corporations that dominate them.
hence the entire issue"
