It would completely destroy all fandom and creative expression through shared ideas. The world might as well go back into the dark ages.

How dare they make fluttershy cry!!!!!

On topic of discussion I believe that this is related to copyrighted images so we may start having to look for images that dont feature copyrighted material/the author uses a cc that allows it to be shared as long as they are being credited(ie dont mess with the image copyright...)

Well speaking on terms of this, let alone it seems Fox News is revealing the truth behind SOPA, but I guess those hate the network would only see "Double Dare Lies" in this article, http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/01/19/truth-about-sopa/

For a minute there, I thought I accidentally clicked on MPAA's site (but then I realise it's being DDoS'd to oblivion lol) Eh funny though, considering Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdock, avid supporter of SOPA/PIPA. Hardly a impartial source. Good luck citing or linking to photos, quotes, articles, works of any content on the internet if SOPA passes, especially if you're a critic of said content/corporation behind it... _________________ "Have a nice apocalypse" - Southland Tales Last edited by Nexus on Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:30 am; edited 1 time in total

Also, it really doesn't help that the person who wrote that Fox News article, was also the VERY SAME GUY who introduced and was part of drafting, creating those bills LOL! The Truth about SOPA By Rep. Lamar Smith Seriously, it was worth more than 3 of those, this place seriously needs the trollface. _________________ "Have a nice apocalypse" - Southland Tales

<<<< You decide

And this is what Republican Tea Party members want, but also in means No Uniforms(except for Navy, Army, Marines, or other Millatary stuff), raising the Age of Consent, Marrage Age(from age 28 or older, and no sex until marriage unless older than 30 years old, Other religions would be call the Devil Worship and may result jail time, execution or harsh transistion(mainly to Christan via the Nun Treatment), Mental Aslyums would be re-opened to those of ANY Autism Spectrum of Disorders and treatment would be reveresed to be dated back to the 1920s to 1970s treatment,

Basically this is what I call trying to go back to the days of the Great Depression, and Midevil Times here, the internet would be the first to go.

Is that bad hyperbole or is there some medication you need to get up and go take? The Tea Party opposes SOPA as an infringement on individual freedom and privacy.

From what I see, both left and right are equally pissed off about SOPA/PIPA actually. This goes beyond political affiliation as it threatens all of us mutually I'd say.

That sounds pretty accurate.

If SOPA were to pass, the US would be able to censor anything on the World Wide Web. Luckily, that doesn't seem at all likely at the moment, but we still need to sort out ACTA...

They are making us into people just like them. They want us to enforce their rules on others, like people on our forums. Admins of forums: DON'T FALL FOR IT. Your forum is nothing without content!
