[QUOTE=Weltmeister;33754766]You're Finnish, clearly you don't have a full understanding of how things are. Obviously the government aren't "full retard" and won't just seize Facebook, Youtube, etc. from the public.[/QUOTE]
I can't Finnish reading this without getting annoyed.
I shit you not if you go to look at his article [u]right now[/u] it looks like this.

[QUOTE=Weltmeister;33754726]If I remember correctly, Facepunch is fine, it's in the UK. The most they'll do is try to block access to the site if you're from the United States. Facepunch will still be there, you just have to find a work around.[/QUOTE]
Knowing the US they'll send a task force to kill garry and confiscate his servers, order Valve to remove all things referring to GMod on Steam, then deny any involvement with the incident
The chairman is from Texas? And he's a republican? Why does this explain so much?

My typo will forever be immortalized in your post.
[QUOTE=iggy650;33755694]That [B]is[/B] what they're doing. As soon as someone uploads a video with a copy written song, posts a link to copy written websites to facebook, or posts a copy written picture to Facepunch, [B]the entire website is blocked from the entire public.[/B]
You're fucking retarded, you're discriminating, and change you shitty avatar.[/QUOTE]
You're retarded for thinking that record companies will just shut down Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. They'll seize illegals operations within the website (see: Youtube), and filter out smaller websites infringing on copyright that don't have hundreds of millions of unique visits each day.
Open your eyes, this isn't some V for Vendetta shit. Issa, Lofgren, Polis, etc aren't fighting because once this bill passes, they'll just shut the internet down, they're fighting because filtering of the internet by an entire country's government is fucked up and wrong, and EXACTLY the opposite of what we've been preaching to other countries the past few decades.
Let me put it in violence terms so you might be able to wrap your head around this very basic concept.
We have the nuclear weapons, but, we don't just drop 'em casually just because another country is harboring a group that is detrimental the United States.
Get out of your "America is so fucked oh my god we have to leave NOW" because it's extremely immature.

You underestimate the corruption of the record industry. If they think they can get away with it, they'll take down anything that displeases them, regardless of whether or not there was copyright infringement.
I can't stop imaging a person debating this in there going to wikipedia and youtube and thinking 'damn i did this'

Not to mention, they won't have any problems taking down smaller websites, like forums, for copyright infringement. Facebook and Youtube might get through this, but will Americans be able to access Facepunch?

Blocking videos due to copyrighted artists already got a big enough uproar they just limited most of it to mandatory ads or blocking in other countries. They know if they shutdown Youtube all together, that will not sit well with the world.
But if you really think that they'll just shut down something as big as Facebook or Youtube (they won't), I'll give you $5 towards your revolution fund.
We still have time to bother google, facebook, etc to shut down their services for a week or so to let everyone see the possibility of a filtered internet world.

Before you yell at me and tell me this video isn't relevant, the video is about person #1 using false DMCA claims to take down this innocent person #2's videos just because person #1 want to.
Replace "person #1" with "the USA", "person #2" with "Internet dweller", and "videos" with "websites".
Notice how the video gets very relevant if you listen to it with this altered storyline.
Actually it seems to fit with a couple of this guy's other youtube-attacking videos too.
I sure hope theres no age limits on riots.
Ive always want to be in one, nows my chance

yes the police will say who can and can not be in the riots :downs:

And then they'll just laugh and swim in their pools of money.
Fucking money-grubbing bastards.

I remember a government official saying pepper spray isn't harmful to any age, whether it be 10 years old or 80 years old. As a response to a recent elderly woman being pepper sprayed in a peaceful protest.
So I'm sure you'll be fine.

You are one of the many many things wrong with America.

How so? I don't think he's referring to the idea of simply being in a riot, more of the idea of being in a riot against the fucking retarded ass government we currently hold.
I agree with him.
is that emperor palpatine
yes.

Isn't it possible that a member of the wikipedia staff did it as some kind of joke?

Not likely, as it counts as "vandalism"

What's great is someone removed the text saying he served as Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, but didn't actually remove the picture.
If you look at the history, the wiki mods keep changing it back, but someone switches it to palpatine again.
