they agree to a amendment
im quite sure it was not something useful
better take down the LMFAO thread
[QUOTE=Cone;33741749]I think it's been signed.[/QUOTE]
Well, bye to all my favorite sites.
This is amendment day. They're making amendments. Not passing the bill. There's still a little, tiny, infinitely small bit of hope left.
Also, it's actually got to pass the House, then the Senate, and then the President. It hasn't started at the House, although I worry how that'll work out.

Better get rid of avatars.
Awww hell naw.
[QUOTE=mickers;33741765]better take down the LMFAO thread[/QUOTE]
Take down all threads. The little icons under people's name showing the Xbox logo, or the Steam logo etc are violating those copyrights.

It was an amendment specifying who must be served I believed, so useless.

Not yet, they're voting on amendments.
[del]Are you fucking kidding me? It actually passed?[/del]
Nevermind.
[QUOTE=theseltsamone;33741745]Shit, it looks like the mods here are going to have to be faster with their deleting threads and snipping posts about warez.
By that I mean they'll have to do so before they're posted.[/QUOTE]
Well considering the last amendment just got struck down, Facepunch will be blacklisted if one thread with copyrighted content gets out.
The same goes for avatars with copyrighted content.
Either way if this passes Facepunch will go down quick at this rate.
Nigerian princes :v:
Wauw, I feel bad the yanks, this is really stupid!
If this gets passed, I really want to get involved in protests about it.
I honestly give up, the last real chance we had with the amendments is gone. I'm gonna enjoy the internet as we know it while it lasts instead of listening to the rest of these cunts ignore the sensible people.

Literally every site will if one of these rich cocksuckers who happens to hold a patent sees something that hurts his feelings, this whole bill is utter bullshit.

I cannot fucking hit agree hard enough.

I was worried there
I haven't been following this that closely today, are they still debating amendments or has it gone through?

Ah thanks for clearing that up. How many amendments do they need to go through?
[QUOTE=Jackald;33741852]Unless Garry makes sure it's hosted outside of the USA, in which case it'll just be blocked to all American citizens.
So it'll get a lot lonelier around here.[/QUOTE]
But like 90% of the smart people are America
I've lost all hope in my government. Fuck this.
The only good that can come of this bill is the blacklisting of fanfiction.net
[QUOTE=Cone;33741867]But like 90% of the smart people are America[/QUOTE]
So is 90% of the mass. D'ohoho.
Also which major sites, out of curiosity, are hosted in the US? Facebook, Youtube, Google, etc.? It's not just going to suck for US citizens if this passes, it'll create one hell of a hole in the internet.
[QUOTE=Cone;33741867]But like 90% of the smart people are America[/QUOTE]
Plus many of the mods.
Who make up 95% of the smart people.
