Okay, [i]now[/i] it's actually started.

HOLY SHIT. That chairman is reading off the community changes made to the document overnight.

[QUOTE=Novangel;33751303]Oh wow the stream is the most exciting thing, just look at the energy in the room![/QUOTE]
Don't down it, you'd be surprised how heated it gets.
I think this video will sum up how we are currently feeling.

Sorry are we supporting or opposing the amendment?

Stop with the defeatism, and watch first.
Remember: Cheer on Zoe Lofgren, Darrell Issa, Jared Polis, Jason Chaffetz, and Ron Wyden!

They want it to pass so that way they can ban entire sites under safe harbor.
[QUOTE=Novangel;33751340]Sorry are we supporting or opposing the amendment?[/QUOTE]
Well, for those who don't understand whats going on, generally, you'll want to support Lofgren, Issa, Polis, and Chaffetz.

Mr. Lofgren is saying the amendment further support DNS blocking so I think it's bad. I dunno, your choice.

Yeah that's my guideline, she's opposing the amendment if I heard that correctly.
she said unconstitutional!

Wyden's in Senate, but, he's doing a good job in supporting the reasonable people in house, and if/when it comes to Senate he'll be giving it hell.
We're only 30 minutes in and lofgren is already breaking down. I do not like this.

Hey look, Ms Waters has the water again.

What are you on about?
Also, Ms. Waters I want to punch you in the fucking face.
[QUOTE=Weltmeister;33751391]What are you on about?[/QUOTE]
Don't tell me you didn't hear pauses in a couple places in Lofgren's speech just now.
FUCK OFF MS WATERS, LET LOFGREN SPEAK.

30-ish. I don't keep track of time very well in case you haven't noticed.
I don't understand this system.
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALLOW OPPOSITION TO INTERRUPT YOUR POINTS

13 minutes?
So just because they're not required to, doesn't mean they won't?
[QUOTE=Baldr 2.0;33751288]Is this really the only way to do it? Shees digital age people.[/QUOTE]
Seriously, it bothered me so much yesterday. That and the fact that they can't even control who is speaking. The only reason it isn't pure chaos is because for some reason they're all being kind of friendly. Were this here the chairman would have the power to turn off microphones selectively.
I'll have to remember how much of a boss Polis is.
EDIT: [sp]FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT[/sp]
And, I don't get the thing about "counter-feit goods." They're knock-offs! There'll always be knock-offs.
Polis is amazing, he's not only a reasonable man, but, he's also a web entrepreneur.
The first man in that room to mention China's situation gets a medal.

Yeah, to say how good it works.
Edit:
I'm against it, I don't want censorship either
Whoa whoa whoa what are they voting on...
Right now. "Aye" "No"? What part is being amended?
Man these guys sure like their time
RECLAIMING MY TIME!
Welp, we're off to a bad start
"without objection the amendment is to be considered as read"

We know [I]you[/I] can read the amendment on paper, but what about [I]us[/I]?
