You all thought that because the SOPA and PIPA acts didnt pass that US did nothing about it. Like there has to be a rule or a law for them to act when they see a gain or profit in any way. They just trying to have the law on their side justifying their actions so the public outcry is less likely to occur. Not that they care at the end.
For those watching online series, videos, or movies you probably know the sites :
www.megavideo.com
www.megaupload.com
Just click on the links to see a familiar picture
BTW in Greek SOPA means shut up or dont speak and PIPA means bjob Coincidence ?

I dont know if the : "that's the US for ya" was meant for me, but if it is then you are wrong. We know pretty much about bs US politics here too And it wouldnt be an exaggeration saying that our area knows more for US politics than most of its citizens but its a lovely forum and wouldnt like to see a politics discussion widening up in here
thanks mora19_66 i use that site along with few others

I've been doing some reading on this SOPA / PIPA and it's the people who make movies, videos, etc. who are actually putting the idea into the governments minds. It's not that I'm sticking up for the U.S. because I'm not a very happy American citizen, but it's from the people behind this all over the world. The U.S. is just the buttheads who initiate before actually investigating thoroughly.
But, I'm with Mober not getting into it here in BRM.
I remember on this photo because of online stream sites, especially when Super bowl coming Anyway FBI and any other US government departments should work on online gambling things...after that maybe he can work on this online sharing thing

Not exactly. It's the people who fund, sell and control moves and videos. The myth put out there by the US government and the companies who are driving this through, is that the acts are intended to protect artists and creatives. Anyone who truly wants to make art, video or music wants to find as big an audience as possible. Hollywood companies however, just want to package art, own talent, restrict creativity, censor viewing and control expression.
So it's not the film makers and musicians behind this. Its greedy capitalist bastards.

Posted by MicroMachina: feck em all. if newt wins im moving to the moon. oxygen or not mark my words itll be a safer place then next to the evil empire.
I also have ever so much more to say about this but yes this isnt the place to say it.
it's typical american holier than thou political bs as usual,The US is probably the only country where running for president means: pulling they're opponents through the dirt,lying about themselves and others and being a total hypocrite(Sarah palin ring a bell?).It has nothing to do with who's best for the job. About they're sensorship and the blocking of certain sites...Is this what they mean with liberty and justice bla bla for all?Not much freedom there huh?

Wow you guys are all real tough bashing America from behind a computer screen. Yet whose the first country to offer aide during any kind of disaster relief? What country helps over half of the entire globe? Where is Hollywood where all of these movies & shows are made you wish to share? Where is Vegas the Home of the W.S.O.P. that you all yearn to play in soooo bad? The United Fu cking States! Talk all the s**t you want from behind a computer screen, but know this I think your all a bunch of hypocrites & cyber bullies. Our system may not be perfect, but its a lot better than most of them out there, IMO. Just remember to tell all the Americans how you feel when & if you ever get to Vegas. I'm may not agree with every little thing my government does... Do you? I am an American though & I'm not gonna sit here & read this crap & not say anything. I don't get on here & post a bunch of crap about your countries, I just don't see why you feel the need to about mine. it's okay though karma is a bitch & you all like to play a game that involves luck. So what goes around comes around. Enough said.
Way to generalize! What's the link between shutting down megaupload and humanitary help?
They're trying to control everything, and it's part of human nature so I can understand that. But seriously this is wasted time, efforts and money, don't they have real bad guys to arrest? As I said, an other site is going to take over whatever they do. Just like what happened with FTP, other sites took their place, it really is pointless.
