Fuck it, i'd still be torrenting whether this passes or not.
I can't wait for pirate isp
I hate it how these people assume that all bit torrent sites are 'pirate sites'. They have plenty of perfectly legal content there too.
Also hasn't it been proven numerous times by companies like Valve that the best way to reduce piracy is to reduce the cost and stop using rediculously invasive DRM?
I read this as "Lawnmowers want power to shut down 'Pirate Sites'".

oh, but that would require making something of [I]quality[/I] and pricing it modestly. That's not what companies are about :q:
Honestly, this is going to get most video game developers nowhere, if this does get passed it wont be soon before they notice it was a bad idea and that they are making less money than before. Because most of the time when i want a video game or movie i usually watch it a few times when i download it for a torrent ( or play it for a video game ) and then if i like it enough i will buy it. I'm pretty sure this is also what a lot of people do too.
This might be relevant or not i don't know but the guys behind The pirate bay are going to court again today(28.09.10)

Tomorrow Tuesday, the Svea Court of Appeals to initiate proceedings against the Pirate Bay-defendants. Stockholm District Court convicted them on 17 April last year, for complicity in violation of copyright law and was sentenced then to one year in prison and 30 million in damages.
When the Court of Appeal will now review the decision, they will mainly be listening to recorded interviews from the district court.
- It is difficult to assess the chances that the Court of Appeal judge one way or the other direction. But one can question the district court's damages calculation. It is not carried out correctly in my view, saying, Sanna Wolk, Doctor of Law at Stockholm University.
She says that 30 million is too high sum and that his detention is severely condemned in comparison to other copyright cases. It can also be reduced by the Court of Appeal.
There has yet begun to storm the same amount of Pirate Bay, as it did at last year's trial. And Pirate, who engages in these kinds of issues, has lost many voters.
But Sanna Wolk do not think it's about the public's interest has cooled.
- It has become easier to be legal now than a year ago. We certainly owe much to the trial and among different services, it has been an amazing development. However, I do not think that the moral vision changed. Most think it's available digitally, they get exploited, "she says.[/QUOTE]
Multi Billion companies are going bankrupt because of a few people pirating!

Everyone knows that Linux is communism anyway. Do the patriotic thing and buy windows 7 on a Dell PC.
Anything else is funding comunism.

Communism shit is still not funny.
I recall that scene from Team America where they topple the Eiffel tower with a rocket, destroy all of Paris, and they don't care. The people, however, care a lot. That's what this will turn into. The US closes every possible site that uses BitTorrent, crippling the internet and they'll stand around saying, "Look, we saved you from the evil pirates." Meanwhile everyone's like, "Fuck you, you destroyed the internet by closing every website we go to, you douches."
Now that I think about it, that movie's way too accurate for this situation. It's scary. :ohdear:
They will never shut down TPB.

Hah hah hah oh god
I live in the US, btw.
I'm all for getting these power-hungry douchebags (Democrat and Republican) out of Congress and back in the pants of the corporations and elect people who'll kick the corporations in the balls and keep net neutrality where it is (or better yet improve it).
