  • The Pirate bay is blocked now D:!

  • I understand that that a number of people are angered by SOPA and PIPA. I am as well, but I am more fearful than angered by these acts.

    I ask that anyone reading this comment consider some other consequences of what could happen if these acts were passed.

    A year ago, a number of revolts got fired up in North Africa and the Middle East. Many organized these through web sites

    So what happens here if government abuses its power, shuts down sites, and robs us of our ability to make our voices heard?

  • World War III will start.

  • @DimmerShine Agreed now that they took Pirate bay ITS WW III

  • Well if you thought Geo Blocking placed on a free internet was bad enough wait to you see what SOPA and PIPA can do you may want to cancel your isp , for who wants to shell out money for a internet service that is controlled by U.S. government ah but how would you check your email? Remember the bill the U S government wanted to pass to charge 5 cents for every email because it had the word Mail in it and the postal service should gain from that. .

  • SOPA just plain sux! Anyone who agree's with sopa should be locked in a mental hospital and yelled at!"GET A CLUE!"

  • The governments of the peoples included in this world republic,with the aid of the victorious proletariat, all will fall without difficulty into Jewish hands.Private property will then be strangled by the Jewish directors,who will administer the state patrimony everywhere.Thus the promise of the Talmud will be fulfilled,that is,the promise that the Jews,at the arrival of the Mesiah,will possess the key to the wealth of all the peoples of earth

    Read this book for free on internet WHO IS ESAU-EDOM

  • To the47monkeys: Go To Hell!

  • God Hates Protect IP! This is World War III!

  • If sopa passes, people worldwide will definitely protest against US. I'm serious no kidding. Come on! Internet is my freedom and now you have to take it away from me. PFFT. F U SOPA.

  • Well said, thanks for the insight.

  • A hacker's nightmare... :(

  • @the47monkeys say that while you can.

  • pass it!!

  • kill sopa kill pipa!!!!!

  • FUCK YOU SOPA I CANT SEE WIKIPEDIA,THE CHIVE,AND OTHER VARIOUS SITES. SUCK MY FUCKING DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • if that pipa is accepted, USA will become China #2

    No more freedom.

    and all those big corporations such as Hollywood will make less money.

    And small idea that became big like Facebook will disappear.

    Thumb up if you think that is true....

  • WIKIPEDIA IS FUCKING BLACKED OUT! FUCK YOU SOPA, PIPA, PROTECT IP!

  • how much did those corporations pay him? 1 mil isnt even 1% of what they get already from suing people for really small shit

  • KILL SOPA! KILL IT!

    KILL IT WITH FIRE!

  • Kill SOPA!

  • On politics I don't agree with either Sen Leahy or Sen Wyden. But I do agree with the letter.

    Hollywood is engaging in "protectionism"

    They want the federal government to kill the Internet to protect their jobs!

    The last time this was done was in 1929! What happened? The great depression!

  • yea sadly, its a new rich, before it was hitler, now its obama :-(

  • Sooo like what my Bro in law said, "Making a new China?"

  • Fuck SOPA

    Anonymous

    Expect Us!

  • US capitalism - a dictatorship that swaps its poster man every 4 years.

  • 8 dislikes! whoa who actually supports this bill?! i thought us was a democratic country........why are they taking away our freedom :/

  • @PR0UDTOBEME other countrys can see youtube too....lol

  • @MrBahiga well thats true i was just saying :D

  • if i will be forced to pay for every website i want to visit then i am going to sell my house and buy weapons and tickets to america God Bless America my ass....

  • SCREW THE GOVERMENT SAVE YOUTUBE

  • It's not Hollywood guys. Hollywood isn't the bad guy. It's the corporate monarchy that's ruling this nation, trying to take control of our last freedom--the internet. Please... if you start blaming the wrong people, that's how this shit gets passed and how it continues to get passed. Make sure you RECOGNIZE who is responsible. The whole thing is just a cover up for a much darker agenda.

  • Fuck you Hollywood, If this bill passes your not getting a CENT from me!

  • MPAA/RIAA: industry DISTRIBUTORS. LOBBY wealth for dated models/monopoly control of distribution/access/promotion channels. (ie records/TV/radio).Self 'rating system' BIASED to prevent competition, targeted ads, etc. 'copyright' who's creators long dead, STILL not public domain. Internet: fair use, ie try game/program before buy. Rely being best. Flexibility how use what pay for! When opportunity buy legit/use as want (itunes etc) people DO SO.

    Contact your representatives! Tell everyone!

  • Wow. The same SWAT teams that bust down doors to stop murderers, rapists, and drug lords are going to bust down our doors for a picture of robot balls from Transformers 2 being on a rant of the movie. This bill works the same way on piracy as a flamethrower for lighting a cigerret.

  • OK I GET IT Hollywood..... You hate the internet because there better then you. Killing it will not make you richer!

  • piracy is the result of companies failing to keep up with the times and adapting

  • I think they should not have ANY BILLS, they should just close ThePirateBay and forget about it

  • i thought he was gonna say he agreed with it and i was like fuck off:O

  • we need to stop this bill just go to demand progress.com and sign the letter to stop this bill.i urge all of you to help stop this.and please spreed the word as much as possible.

  • imagine this: SOPA passes, Hollywood wins, or do they? People begin boycott of any Hollywood content, if this passes, no more content from Hollywood for me, like if you will join?

  • @AlphaRoeGamin This isn't a battle with hollywood. The is a battle with INDUSTRIE and GOV against the people.

  • Its amazing how people think that Illegal downloading only hurts major artists. I can tell you right now as a songwriter, this is not true. It is absurd to think that musicians love to release their work, free of charge, forever. Musicians need to pay bills too. It is disheartening how many talented people just don't even try to be professionals anymore because they know it has no chance of making any money. Not everyone performs. Some only record and release music...They are being silenced.

  • @InhabitantOfUniverse The truth is, we don't give a shit.We don't give the smallest of a fucking shit about your small group of wannable celebrities, why?Because you don't deserve millions, and never did, we've got people who enter burning buildings being paid less than you, you're a glorified upgrade to the medieval Jester, an entertainer.Fair for you or not, you have to get bitch slapped so that the majority of the people, feels good, because the good of many is above the good of one, the end.

  • @chairincarnate Thats just fine. Think that way if you want. Don't cry about music that sucks or ask why movies are getting worse every year. You are the cause, you alone will experience its effects.

  • @InhabitantOfUniverse We already have shitty movies and shitty music, that's why we started pirating in the first place, see look at Bethesda, they made Skyrim and put it on 100 bucks, guess what?I bought that shit, millions of people did, because its an awesome game, you're supposed to tempt the consumers into buying your product with its superior quality or cheap price, not force them to do it at gunpoint.

  • @chairincarnate If you create it, you copyright it, its yours. Someone else makes it, holds the rights = NOT YOURS.

  • @InhabitantOfUnivers Well guess what?I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!

    If the corporations continue to produce total SHIT and want to get money in return, than Im not paying for their shit.You go to a restaurant, you order some food, your food comes cold covered in dust and with a severed human finger in the salad, would you pay for it?Nope, because you paid for dinner, not shit.That's how economy SHOULD work, however you retards are trying to band together and FORCE us to buy shit, well fuck you im stealing

  • 7 People work for Apple, Adobe, Gov.

  • If this law passes,

    Smosh GONE

    Daneboe GONE

    ERB GONE

    Richalvarez GONE

    If Smosh goes to jail, YouTube will suck! Daneboe also makes awesome parodies! I also love Rap Battles! Richalvarez makes an epic Mario live action series called Stupid Mario Brothers!

  • if this protect IP bill gets passed and is passed to all countries, that's when we know, we, the citizens are fucked and our leaders have got us in their fist

  • Anyone with some experience on the matter can correct me, but I'm fairly certain that you could consider the IP indexes in routers to be subject to this bill as well. Meaning that you effectively should block a entire country(if that country refused to block the IP on their end) away, in order to prevent access to a so called "rogue" site.

  • If this shit happens USA will be kinda isolated and pretty much "censored" from the rest of the world... now im from Europe and that shit is really gonna piss me off so i hope you usa guys fight this shit off and be free!

  • yeah but alot of ppl are whining just bc their hacking is coming to an end. or at least as far as they would have benefitted sending you to those sites for all youre information.

  • IP is not everything, hacker can create millians of IP in seconds, not to mention Mac now can be changed with software. Some old server's Mac can be change manually but need reboot. long words short, this bill only give the dump people a free trip to side in hot iron plat. We're fucked.

  • "Kill it" nope, your wrong, nope, we shouldn't kill it...WE SHOULD PISS ON IT, SHOOT IT IN THE BALLS, RAPE IT, KILL IT AGAIN, THEENN WE SHOULD EAT IT'S FLESH, CONSUME ITS SOUL AND MOUNT IT'S HEAD ON THE WALL, AND THEN DOING THE SAME THING TO 12 MORE FUCKING COPIES JUST TO BE SAFE!!

  • In the words of Ricky from The Trailer Park Boys: "Fuck you, Lahey! "

  • This bill should be called "Raping the internet in ass." or "Death of most of the internet."

  • Im sick of signing petitions against a government so far gone it is mind numbing. All we do by preventing a law or 2 from being passed is delay the inevitable. They will change the name of the bill and slip it through when no one is paying attention like they do with so many other bills.

    It's time to take our country back, rather than wait for it to just happen magically.

  • The Gowerment have no right to fight us! We have all right to fight them!

  • @chrstilen5 (douchebagsensesactivate) Actually sir if i may add.....it was said during the formation of gubment that the goverment has the right to def- (deactivate douchebaggery)

  • I feel that if this bill is passed, the government will soon start manipulating the bill and controlling what is said and done on the internet.

  • @X2COverload Bet on it. Our government has shown time and time again that they have no issue with abusing legislation to benefit themselves and their corporate owners.

  • outlaw thepiratebay. NOT youtube, facebook, twitter, or anything else of those sort

  • who. the. hell. would. dislike. this.

  • @JurassicKong the people who are for this act, aka: total freaken retards, aka: douche jerk offs, aka: mutilated freaks, aka: drug addicts, aka: puppy kickers, aka: baby killers. and there are about a thousand other aka's.

  • the amount of hackers will just increase!

  • democrats....

  • From Oregon. Fuck the guy who made up this bill.

  • @chibigrunt

    Your senator is going to filibust it. Thank you.

  • @Onepretentiousdude I sure hope so. Every senator should be on his side. I hope they shun Leahy...

  • Hackers are going to hack the hell out of protect ip

  • @kehny Yup , Sony Hacked by Anonymous

    Because of Sony Agree with SOPA

    #OpSony

  • This is just the money market system trying to find a way to stay relevant in a world that is rapidly making money and market systems obsolete. It is like the church... desperately trying to prevent the spread of heresy and science which ultimately eroded their political power. Capitalism/Corporatism and any other 'ism' that use money and markets is a system in denial of an emerging new world paradigm: a society shouldn't be for the benefit of the rich. It should be for the benefit of all.

  • Dear Hollywood,

    You're not getting my money

    You're not getting my internet,

    You're not gonna let some shit bill pass.

    YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY SUPPORT FOR YOU FUCKING MOVIES AND SONGS.

    YOU WILL CRUMBLE AND FALL INTO BANKRUPTCY.

    AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,

    YOU ARE NEAR WAR,

    WE WILL STAND AGAINST YOU MOTHERFUCKERS

    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

  • @briannema768 cool brah. you got 20 humans with yah! now get the other 7 billion! some things cannot be changed...

  • not only will this make almost everyone who lives in the us or at list a good percentage criminals but the us its self will be no beater then north koaer or hitler also deny us of our right to privacy and free speech i am most licitly wrong on some stuff and i dont fully understand but this is a very very bad thing and give the government way to much power and i dont wont to live in fear of my government

  • If this bill passes, I think I'll boycott the entertainment industry. Who's with me?

  • @GeorgedIDK I'm totally with ya, this is such a scam

  • @GeorgedIDK To send a clear message, that should be declared as a boycott on the entertainment DISTRIBUTION industry, i.e. MPAA, RIAA, and all of their members, complicit in writing this legislation, should it pass. At the same time, buy music and media actually owned by the artist, as opposed to "Copyright © [large distributor]".

    (And to show some principles: Don't download media you're 'boycotting'. There's plenty good stuff other artists will give you for free anyways.)

  • @GeorgedIDK

    Does listening to free music and watching sponsored internet based shows count? 'Cause I'we been doing that for the last two years. What regular TV I want to watch is released online anyways by the corresponding channels.

  • Comment removed

  • @GeorgedIDK I'll boycott as well.

  • @GeorgedIDK Count me in!

  • Anonymous MUST Act !

  • Also, in the 80's and 90's Movie companies and the music industry sold products (albums / movies). However today we are buying services instead, the right to consume unlimited amounts of Music or movies with services like Netflix, Zune pass, Pandora and others. Just something I thought I'd point out. I believe this is why internet piracy sprung up in popularity in early 2000 with things like Napster. At that point no one provided music or movies as a service.

  • Good to see someone else realizing that the DMCA is good enough already. When I wrote my congressman about The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA A lot like Protect ip act) the DMCA was a big talking point in my letter.

  • keep in mind big things start small before going pandemic ! otherwise people wouldn't accept them :

    When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.

    When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.

    When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.

    When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew.

    When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

  • This just simply won't pass, but that doesn't mean we should ignore it. It doesn't make sense for it to pass. It would hurt absolutely everyone, and when that idea comes about, it tends not to pass.

  • Soooo they let the economy go down the drain but they censor the internet...

    ...

    Fucking. Wow.

  • If this bill ever passes, I swear to never purchase another song, movie, movie/concert ticket, CD, T.V. show, etc. ever again. I will even try my best to not watch TV or sites like Hulu so that they can't make profit from me via commercials. That is all.

  • They can't take away my pornz!! 

  • @KharnakRex :D same here?

    it will also shut down youtube too.....I WANT MAH FUNNIES!

  • OWS its time too step it up

  • MONEY GRUBING ASSHOLES I LOVE THE INTERNET (enough to marry it ! O_O) FIRST BILL 1.9 trying to get rid of posting video game footage and other media now you want to censor the internet FUCKING PIGS

  • we can't let happend this lets fight together!!

  • "Rise like lions after slumber

    In unvanquishable NUMBER!

    Shake your chains to earth like dew

    Which in sleep had fall'n on you

    WE ARE MANY - THEY ARE FEW!"

  • Violates two things on the Declaration of Independence. Freedom of Speech, and Freedom of Expression. This is bs, anyone watching this video needs to sign that petition and fight for OUR rights given to us by our Forefathers.

  • You know I agree with people getting their due for their works. But putting something like this into play is just going too far. If they pass this bill the corporations with have a stranglehold on us all. Businesses will suffer and people will have their rights violated. I see good people getting dragged into court in the near future should this come to pass and it's all because the gov't wants to focus on this BS rather than more important problems in America.

  • Freedom of the internet will not be infringed on. If you mess with our life our freedom then it is clear you are an enemy of humans

  • Suppression murder lieing fear and KKK morals secrets stop them please save millions of americans against the republicans.

  • are they actually so stupid they are wanting to stop people in the USA from accessing specific IP blocks? that is like Websense (etc) X a zillion times even more retarded and evil.

    well you know what to do - first change to an ISP that isn't a spying censoring pile of shite, second there's this thing called always-on IPv6 mobile tunneling, they think IPv6 is their way of tying domains to IPs but really it's just to make it impossible for them to monitor anything due to traffic volume and redir

    

  • hope so. I REALLY hope so because if this bill gets passed and I hope that Alakazam doesn't get hit.

  • WTF!!!

    this gives the power to do anythin they want with the internet?!!?!??!!?!?!!!!!

  • NOW I'M GOING TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE SHIT THAT I A CAN

  • Seems like your "Two-Party" political system is failing you, Rome...

    The Republicans and Democrats seem to be colluding again.

  • This kid here is an idiot. Fuck you.

  • 2012:

    The Internet VS. The Government

    The myans predicted this...

  • @thunderboundstudios The internet has anonymous, your statement is invalid.

  • @thunderboundstudios I don't know what that made me laugh so hard. Thank You.

  • @thunderboundstudios it's the People vs the The Government.

  • @thunderboundstudios the ''internet'' ... this is the people. We against the government we must win this battle because the internet is the only weapon against the government and if we lose this weapon we lose everything... SPREAD THE WORD FIGHT AGAINST ANY RESTRICTIONS ON THE INTERNET!!!

  • @thunderboundstudios No offense but the Mayans didn't predict anything.

  • @Bassbait You are right

    But they did one thing , they have guess that something will happen it's not sure what just when and i doubt that they are wrong.

  • @sickofitall89 Well that's actually a misconception. The Mayan calender ends in 2012. The reason it ends then is because the Mayans had a very long calender, and they died off before they could reset it. So it's really not anything. If our calender ends December 31st, 2011, we'll just set up a new calender that starts January 1st, 2012. The Mayans didn't predict anything, they just never renewed their calender because they disappeared. No prediction, nothing will happen.

  • @thunderboundstudios So is the end of the world, really either the end of corporative world or the end of Cyberworld?

  • I love how there's a petition in the description pretty much about how corrupt the government is for passing this bill, and then after you sign it, they ask for money...

  • Seriously, fuck this bill, I wonder what goes through these guys mind to make such a BS bill like this.

  • @TheIdioticFish Its called money. And most of the senators in washington are owned and controlled by Hollywood.

  • Comment removed

  • Now i feel kinda happy because Im not from America and I am from Croatia! :)

  • @TheZEROts Are you dumb? it doesn't matter because if youtube shuts down no one will be able to go here and im not from the US too but still you can say byebye to youtube and twitter, maybe facebook.

  • @qpRmGqp Facebook will go bye bye too. if you watch DSPGaming's video about the Bill, you'll see that copyrighted content is a very wide and broad term. There's nothing in the bill that points to any specifics about what is fair use, or what is legal in terms of video footage, music, games etc. Every website that involves user-generated content from vids to even pictures will be forced to shut down. There's so much more to it than that, and it can affect more than the internet.

  • @qpRmGqp ARE YOU DUMB?! Only users from some parts from America wont be able to access there and those websites and companies like YouTube, Google, Twitter, Facebook wont be closed tehy have no right to close em they just have rights to denie access to em to persons FROM AMERICA! And im from Europe so I will be able to go there!

  • @TheZEROts *sigh* don't you get it? If there are no people like seananners, X, leptir1, shibby2142... there won't be a reson to go on youtube unless you like to see someone talk about his face only.

  • DSP is the fuckin man
