  • SOPA is coming for YouTube everyone hide we must stop this bullshit

  • stop

    over

    powered

    Americans

  • @91128man uh governments overseas has something called ACTA which would do the same thing as sopa your governments are just as over powered as Americans

  • @jma10241

    No a the Prime Minister from POLAND dosn't agree with ACTA so Acta is out. and EU cant do anything about it

  • silly Americans,the internet has no oil

  • ACTA IS WORSE

  • SOPA stops copyright , you tube is basically dead...how are the people not happy there getting more people buying the game from the good videos people make

  • @TrixxclanHD This site makes way to much money for Google and the economy for it to be shut down just because some pisshat starts moaning about their content being uploaded. The video will be removed and the account banned but the site will never go down.

  • SOPA means that I can't do covers of my songs on my channel.

  • Well SOPA just took down Megaupload.

    Goddamit 1 min of silence please. :'(

  • I once used to be a pirate, but then I took an.. *redacted (copyright violation)

  • @mobspeak fuck sopa

  • Thanks man, I wanted you too do a video on somehting like this, cuz your really good at it :)

  • im gonna slap a homeless man if this act passes...

  • PSN DOWN!

  • fuck this shit bro, this is america my president is black and my lambo is blue theres no way in hell im letting this bull shit happen

  • @TheBananamasta Blue LAMOBO and black PRESIDENT? That should have stopped sopa right there! ... Can you get your lambo to the whitehouse soon? Show it to them and maybe they'll fucking stop. This isn't a joke, GO... NOW!

  • @moodydoyle its a quote from a tv show calm down

  • @TheBananamasta I know where it's from... that would be a joke.

  • Every game I've downloaded illegally and played for more the 1/2 hr I will buy (the shit ones I delete) but 'demos' are bullshit and are not a true representation of the game they want me to pay $80aus.

    So I will continue to practice this.

    My mate gave me a copy of OFP (by Bohemia Interactive) in 2001, I brought that & every game and every expansion and DLC from them since, that would amount to ~ $1000

    If I never got that copy in 2001, I probably would have never heard of it and brought it.

  • Secondly try play a pirated game online.... unless you hack the code and produce a valid key yourself it aint going to happen... and the number that do are tiny and you will never stop them.

    Companies need to provide a better, easier service for people.... Like steam, sprocket, direct to drive etc etc... that will eliminate much of the piracy.

  • Comment removed

  • This is a very good analysis of the matter, showing both perspectives and not sensationalising everything. Ultimately, SOPA is not the answer - but something needs to be done about piracy.

  • A pirate is probably not going to buy your software anyway if they do find a solution to piracy

  • Fuck sopa

  • I live in Sweden where The Pirate Bay site is situated. It is still legal for us to download for personal use by law. However it seems that many American companies have a hard time understanding that US law does not apply here in Sweden.

    Also with Sopa everyone knows it is for shutting down bloggers your gvt does not like and to keep US citizens to visit sites like Wikileaks claiming they might host copyrighted material. They could even shut down you Woody... not cool.

  • but dont you still own it i mean they made rooting in jailbreaking legal.

  • @CreeperDownTheStreet FYI, piracy is not stealing. Piracy is just copyright infringement. Like you're cloning the original. Not stealing. 

  • ok but i have one question.......... wat is piracy?

  • @zombiesmaster1000 copying a copyrighted item

  • This is a very good video, with very true to life words thrown around. Good job Woody, bein you.

  • Hey Woody, can you talk about NDAA?

  • Piracy isn't actually stealing when you download a film illegally your not taking something that the company making the film has paid for or worked for in any way. Their just not adding the 20$ that you would pay for the film into their profit. The film you buy at the store is still just a copy, only that it is a copy made by the filmmakers.

  • @alexocoolg Even if it can be considered that way, it's still wrong.

  • @aussienerds It does give the artist a great exposure. Since i've had many songs recommended from and to friends, whom might buy the albums if they really like the song. ;)

    Besides i think it's their problem to try and keep their industry in the 1930's. High pricing, lack of technological development ( or lack of keeping up ). Why'd i go to the store, buy it, go back. ( taking me 30 minutes + the work time required for the money ), if i can get it within a minute online?

    Just saying.

  • I've read the bill and in no way is it dangerous to anything unless the people that are "violating" the act do something to piss off the people they are representing in their form of media (illegally by standards already set ie piracy) we have nothing to worry about and besides would a company censor YouTube take woody for example he has hundreds of thousands of subs that will buy or use a game if he says he likes it mw3 I personally don't like how ranking and advancing is set up but I was exci

  • Personally i feel like our country is run by a minority of the people in it. We have around 500 people running a country of around 300 million without caring what the majority wants. I think we need more ways for people to be active in the government.

  • why did people give woody double xp? lol hes not prestiging so give it to wings or somebody who is

  • nice non biast commentary, like it.

    what I think about this issue is that SOPA's only problem really is that if they seriously want to take it up front with PB and other torrent sharing websites they've got to do it with whole Sweden... and that is not easy 

  • @byerscm you mad bro? Oh and take a second to realize that the Internet has nothing to do with freedom of speech you dumbass.

  • The companies that created, sold, and advertised the (all) software used for piracy are the same ones (all) who are now lobbying to get SOPA passed. Weird?

  • Things like a great multiplayer are one of the best arguments for buying a game. But lets take alteriwnet... They added serverbrowsers, new maps, new gamemodes, ability to mod textures, play modded gamemodes like isnipe or zombiemode... they have less money than activision but do more for their users..even if i bought mw2 original playing there would be better than on steam..and ive bf3 mw3 bo original...so publishers should also care more about their customers...

  • fuck you ass hole you will not shut down the internet i will keep my freedom of speech fuck you!

  • @videohead3000 ya I bet your on the top of the list for pirating assholes. Go suck a dick

  • Also these companies are multimillion companys there not gonna mis like $1000.

  • This could shut down youtube and facebook and alot of other things, its a horrible thing

  • 1. The pirated goods are usually way better than the actual things you have to buy. F.E. movies, if you buy them they force you to watch 10mins+ of trailers and ads, where as you pirate for FREE, you have no annoying ads or movie trailers. They should start with the things you buy from them is better quality stuff.

    2. They should make it harder to pirate, it shouldn't be too hard since it's super fucking easy now.

    3. Do those things above, not fucking DESTROY THE INTERNET YOU FUCKS!

  • Just look at this site. I believe you will recognize Alki. He is doing something a little more noble now. Like pointing out who started the piracy. filmon . com /cbsyousuck/

  • @tr1ckygamer Yep, and other sites such as reddit.

  • Woody, I love ya but you really glossed over a lot of the major issues. The SOPA bill would destroy user-generated content and do nothing to stop Piracy. Their roadblocks to fight piracy are trivially bypassed by Pirates, meanwhile legitimate sites like Youtube will be heavily censored. This is purely Big Media stifling technology so they can maintain their strangle-hold on content. They want the Internet to be like TV: they produce, and we consume what they give us, when they give it to us.

  • @hidoisan that would mean no youtube

  • /watch?v=WJIuYgIvKsc&feature=p­layer_embedded#!

  • there int no problem wi' piracy me 'earties arrharhar

  • watch?v=WJIuYgIvKsc

  • thanks woody

    i learned something new!

  • Oh my god if the pirate bay would go down i would be screweedddd XD

  • @BombasticFantasm33 yeah!!!, I mean I use pirate bay every day with out it were fucked! :O

  • Unlawful reproduction is not the same as "stealing".

  • TEARING PEOPLE NEW ASSHOLES IS MY MOTHERFUCKING SPECIALITY. COME GET SOME IF YOUR MAN ENOUGH. THIS LAW IS AWESOME.

  • @SnipeForCookies you really are a piece if shit scumbag. They paid in money to make the damn product. So it's your call to say if someone actually should get paid fir their efforts? Let's keep one of your paychecks for the month. Oh wait your a piece of shit jobless jackass. Go to hell you fuck.

  • @01MEGABOB u go man he is a peece of donkey diarhhea

  • I plea you to look at sxe (Phillip defranco show) as he explains some of the major faults inside the sopa movement.

  • @SnipeForCookies what ever you gotta say to make yourself feel better for being a thief. THAT IS STEALING. DUMBASS.

  • @01MEGABOB who gives a single fuck? they dont deserve the money, they dont get it.

  • @lolwut3132 ya cuz that's exactly what I said dipshit.

  • Boycott Hollywood and the Drug companies that are pushing this bill, let them know we WILL NOT keep them in business, if they put us out of business.

  • STOP THIS BILL SEND THEM OUR INTENTION TO BOYCOTT HOLLYWOOD AND THE DRUG COMPANIES. If we show them that we will not spend money, they will stop trying to dismantle the US Bill of Rights and the Constitution, if we decide to dismantle them.

  • Not if it spits on our Constitutional rights.

  • it is more serious than you make out woody

  • youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJ­M&mid=55

  • @M4ST3R0FWAR your link is gone already. At least the few times I tried.

  • watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM This video tells you why SOPA is so bad. It isn't as harmless as woody says, It will close down youtube and many other sites.

  • This wont just stop privacy, it will shut down a lot of websites.

    Youtube and Facebook, as well as many websites will be closed down.

    Copy and paste this so people don't agree with it being harmless.

  • Why does this have so many likes????? He makes the Act sound so harmless. Do some research!!! WTF?????? This is corporate censorship. “It contains provisions that will chill innovation. It contains provisions that will tinker with the fundamental fabric of the internet. It gives private corporations the power to censor. And best of all, it bypasses due legal process to do much of it.” - James Allworth, Harvard Business

  • @SpentOner Your exactly right they just want to be able to control whats on the internet and take down sites that expose their agenda. Another Act people need to research is the NDAA bill or whatever. Please people they are destroying our Constitution.

  • @SpentOner Because spamming question marks make your argument credible.

  • @cockyfishkiller Because adding nothing to the argument and commenting on my punctuation is helpful, stupid troll.

  • Tomorrow might turn out to be the worst day in a while...

  • why do things like this happen, because the bad people always ruin it for the good people thats just how life is i guess

  • This isn't about the big companies losing money, it's also about the smaller ones losing out. Imagine you spent 100s of hours on a game made all by you, would you be happy if most of your sales were lost because of piracy?

  • No more online porn. Not good.

  • I think congress can go fuck itself at this point

  • @82ilikecereal well the word have many meanings.

  • why don't you prestige woody?

  • I think SOPA is as aggressive as it needs to be. Teaches all those assholes to stop stealing from the people who work hard for their profit.

  • @01MEGABOB I personally have pirated some stuff. Just to get that out there. I personally pirate it to sort of test drive it. If I like it but the company doesnt deserve it because they dont care about fans, dont patch bugs, etc, but if the company deserves it, then I will buy it. That is just my opinion.

  • @SnipeForCookies That's not even an opinion, it's just your excuse for pirating stuff.

  • @01MEGABOB right so u want youtube shut down

  • No one talks about PIPA

  • Oh no, billionaires are losing millions. Poor them.

  • @toadboy31 lol truuue story, all they care about is money...

  • I feel ya. Black ops is in 3D but MW3 IS NOT!!!! I. W. is cheap!!

  • @justinrich thats business for ya. Greed.

    Good vid.

  • Why are the people that sell movies so angry wtf they sooo fking rich and now they want ppl with alot less money to pay even more so they can get more money.....

  • @justinrish Let's say you illegally download James Bond: Quantum of Solace (just an example). That's not really a problem for MGM (I believe they're the ones that publish 007), but when hundred's of thousands do it, they lose a looot of money. Money that would have been used to pay the editors, camera operators, directors, costume designers, actors, producers, etc. etc. Let's say they had... I dunno, 200 people working on the film. (cont. in next comment.)

  • @justinrish (cont.) The movie probably took about one or two years to make. Let's say the people working with the movie made an average of $5,000 a month. Paying the employees salaries would cost $12,000,000 a year. Now, there's obviously more to it than that: special effects, cars, licenses (license to kill LOL), props, EVERYTHING costs money. If people don't buy the movies/games/etc., no one would make those things, because they would be losing money instead of making it.

  • @justinrish I dumbed it down a bit, just so everyone would understand what I was talking about.

  • if youre interested in this, check out totalbiscuits vid on sopa

  • would've laughed if youtube had tagged the song "hit me with your best shot" from him saying it :P

  • the more free stuff I can get, the more better

  • Final Stand BITCH!!!

  • u color blind woody?

  • @asniel447 although he could be, i doubt it, colour blind assist makes the enemy stealth bombers appear on your mini-map

  • FUCK SOPA

  • I remember a few years back when Microsoft had their BlueHat conference. They opened their wireless to everyone at the conference and noticed alot of people where torrenting. They replaced the most popular torrents with RickRoll videos. The movie industry could foul torrents of they own content in the same way to keep people from getting a copy for free.

    Here's how I feel though. If a movie or song or game is good enough for me to want to own it then it's good enough to get my money.

  • @TheBeardedBrawler and that's how you should feel, good on you.

  • Dude, I'm telling you... alot of the time I can't fucking hear what your saying. Why do you drop your voice level to a timid little fucking mouse every 20 seconds? It's annoying as hell.

  • the way to stop the piracy a nice way to do it has been used already on nintendo gamecube they made the discs run the opposit way than usualy wich made piracy hard

  • It doesn't matter dude. Take MW3 for instance. Sold about 6 million copies (IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS). Now lets pretend it's not 6 but 1 million copies, and lets also pretend it's not in 24 hours but in 1 year. That's 1 million times $60. That's A LOT of money, and it's only about 1/6 of the real number.

    Now I don't know how much it costs to develop a MW3. But I'm hella sure 60 million dollars is much more than enough.

  • @onlyht Yeah but not all games making 1million copies, games like Saints row 3 have only sold half a million copies and thats been in development since 2009 so think how many people are working on that then how much they have to get paid, then paying for all the software they use and voice actors and then advertising the games and making all the disks then getting licenses to get them on xbox and ps3 only to get screwed over by the people you are trying to make good games for is a pisstake.

  • @onlyht yeah i have downloaded illegally but if i like the game enough i then go out and buy it, thats what i did with Minecraft but now i own it and have two gift codes to my name that i have given to friends, downloading the game should only be for demo purposes, people like you are ruining the industry and putting smaller developers out of business which in turn on lymakes us have less games or even repetitive games every year like call of duty as no one can afford to try something new.

  • @P17Production

    If I couldn't illegally download games, or music, I wouldn't buy them anyway. Which means that the companies are "losing" any money off of me. They only lose money when somebody who buys, illegally downloads instead.

    Suppose a person downloads 50GB of music, that person didn't steal those 50GB money's worth, because he wasn't gonna buy the 50GB even if he had the money. So you can't really say that if somebody downloads MW3, he stole $60 from Activision, that's plain stupid.

  • @onlyht

    I meant so say "companies aren't losing money off of me"

  • @onlyht that doesn't justify anything, if you wasn't going to buy the music or games then you don't deserve to be listening or playing the games.. that's just down right selfish...you basically saying that if you have a job and you worked one month and at the end went to your boss and ask for your pay check and he turned round and said "i wasn't going to pay you this month anyway so i don't have to pay you" he would be allowed to do that, no you would be outraged....that's what you are doing

  • @onlyht to these games companies and you need to realize that and put your money forward and you don't deserve to play the awesome games they have created for you and if you wasn't planning on buying them then why are you playing them...you're a selfish human being.

  • @onlyht So what you're saying is that if you weren't going to get a car in the first place, you should be allowed to steal it since they wouldn't have gotten any money either way?

  • ******Hey Guys********

    Come check out my Channel if you Want HD quality MW3 Content

    Help me out by Subscribing and Liking my Videos

    You wont be Dissapointed

  • @lxRussoxl fuck off if you have to advertise your shitty videos then they must suck dick.

  • Interseting...so weres the live stream

  • This reminds me of that south park episode where famous people can't buy new jets because their songs are downloaded from the internet for free.

    If Activision has to be a little bit less of a millionaire company because of free downloads of their games, that's ok by me. I for one downloaded a torrent of their MW2. I also bought MW3 for my PS3. So if Activision is gonna bitch about people "stealing" from them, while their already swimming in a pool of 100 dollar bills, I don't really care.

  • @onlyht But dont you think they could make a better game with more money to spend in production?

  • @ProffessorSeen1

    They don't need more money to make a better game. With the money they already have they can develop a bunch of better games, which they aren't going to, because every time companies launch new games they always have flaws and people complain about them.

    All they can do with that "more money" you're talking about, is buy a new yacht and private jets.

  • @onlyht i do agree SOPA is too aggressive tho

  • @onlyht Yeah but enough people do for it to be a big issue. Let's say 5,000 people torrented Skyrim. The company worked hard and didn't end up with $300,000 they should have

  • @onlyht You're over simplifying things. Activision and other big companies aren't the only companys affected by piracy. Small companies that need money are affected too

  • TiTtY Baulzz

  • i read a news article on this a few days ago, i think it's a bit too strict to make it so that, you can shut down the website if anything is copyright on there...

  • @TomIsAwesome123 so its no wonder why companies like google, yahoo and facebook are against it

  • America isn't worldwide remember that!

  • @Cr33DEXOTIC No but most main sites are american >-<

  • lol i was just playing hit me with your best shot on guitar

  • America seems to becoming more and more communistic.

  • @TheChaoslord99 please do point out a close relation?

  • @TheChaoslord99 good point... we kind of are...

  • @toocool2beat How aren't you a troll fag? I don't remember what you did, but you were probably being an ass. That means trolling.

  • i dont understand why everyone does what EA have done to BF3 and just sue whoever makes their product pirated.

  • @WoodysGamertag i think the sopa law is bs. Its like for music itunes is still charging the same price for old songs of the artist who are deceased. theystill charge money when the music should be free. and if they stop piracy they should make movies music and everything they have alot cheaper. and music on youtube should be ok thats not exactly piracy. That actually helps artist get exposed

  • True gamers are ones that support the developers to make more better content by buying thier games.

  • piracy isn't fair to game companies? I can understand how it's not fair to the film industry, but it doesn't hurt game companies. If i pirate a game, it's because I wasn't going to buy it anyways, and trying out the game might change my mind, because I want all the new updates and support for the game. I think piracy helps game companies in some instances.

  • @lauk05 well thats in your case. most people pirate because they want it, but just dont want to pay the $60, but still want the game.

  • playing the objective.. woody whenever I play kill confirmed I almost only get tags. Its like a care package I just cant not take it.

  • us government=total dumbasses

  • pirate bay = down :(

  • Nice! Pat Benatar reference.

  • U lost a subscriber :(

  • @LTEAndroid Why do he lose a sub can you tell me why you unsubed

  • @LTEAndroid its ok he has like 700000 more

  • @TheMightySkippy Nope, I was pointing out that the corrupt attitude of the US givernment with regards to oil causes poor living conditions for those living in oil rich areas. If you were talking about my other comment, I was pointing out that other countries were the same, and once again not blaming the US government for that fact.

  • double xp on level 80? i see how that could be useful lol

  • quick pirate all the software you can before sopa comes!

  • lol 5:49 "back to my hands. on one hand..." haha well played Matt, well played.

  • Fuck the government always wanna control shit

  • So you support shutting down youtube?
