What is SOPA and what will it do? (AKA HR.3261 and The E-PARASITE Act)

[BrittanyRChamberlin]

Ok but why is it going to affect google and wikopidea?

[JuryDutySummons]

@BrittanyRChamberlin It's complicated, but in short it gives the copyright holders the ability to order google/wikipedia/facebook to remove all links to particular sites and refuse to do business with them. It could also require them to do active policing of content - at a huge cost burden.

[BrittanyRChamberlin]

I shared your video. I still don't fully understand. Why not just take down the torrent sites instead of hurting search engines?

[JuryDutySummons]

@BrittanyRChamberlin All of them are outside of the authority of the US courts. The ones inside of the USA have already been taken down.

I will never buy another Activision game ever. NEVER!

[Tolredan]

Activision is one of the sponsors. That's fucked up. "Mwuahahaha, Call of Duty shall rule the world! Competition and inovation will forever remain stagnant! MWUAHAHAHAH!"

[JuryDutySummons]

@Tolredan Yeah, Activision hasn't really impressed me as a company lately.

[Tolredan]

@JuryDutySummons It's only slightly shocking honestly. Activision and Blizzard merged a few years back and it seems like that particular company has been eating up trademarks like a whale does plankton.

[JuryDutySummons]

@Tolredan Blizzard has been very supportive of YouTube and the LP community.

[anonym2492]

@Tolredan this is a mistake, it is EA that sponsors this billed

[Firewizard23]

My biggest issue has got to be the lack of due process. I certainly hope that is addressed by congress and amended.

[JuryDutySummons]

@Firewizard23 Most of it requires a court-order. they would argue that getting a court-order (that can be challenged, etc) is due-process. Not that I agree... If a court-order can immediately end a legal business then it's a punishment without trial.

[Tolredan]

@JuryDutySummons What about the issues with Mega Upload and Universal Media taking down certain pieces of media they claimed copyright to that they DID NOT have any affiliation with?

[Angxrosa]

I've never heard about those who support, and those who oppose I use basicly every day.

[JuryDutySummons]

@Angxrosa Yeah, it's crazy.

[pawsly]

At the end of the day, pirates always find a way.. always.

[JuryDutySummons]

@pawsly Indeed.

[xgenmakers]

@JuryDutySummons Lol then Rick Perry for president?

[JuryDutySummons]

@xgenmakers Ron Paul is the only republican candidate I know of who opposes the bill.

[MonkeysGFX]

@JuryDutySummons And Ron Paul is honestly the best candidate as of right now, but because he is so old he will not become president. Rick Perry is out and Herman Cain is a fucking imbecile. Anybody who thinks that Rick Perry would be good as a president obviously didn't hear about all the shit he does wrong( living being one of them). If there are smart people who oppose this bill and want justice done, Ron Paul would get voted for, but we have people who get the right to vote

[MonkeysGFX]

@MonkeysGFX and all they do is sit on their ass all day and take in welfare. In your opinion do you believe they should have the right to vote?

[JuryDutySummons]

@MonkeysGFX I like Ron Paul.. but the main reason why he'll never get the republican nomination is because his foreign policy is very isolationist and contrary to normal right-wing beliefs.

[MonkeysGFX]

@JuryDutySummons Yeah, that is true.

[microwolf96]

Congress really needs to review the constitution sometime. They seem to either not know what it says or even care. All they seem to care about is keeping the big wigs happy. They don't even understand how half of the things they try to control to the many large companies benefit even work.

[TheCharlesDanger]

this dark net theory you have doesn't sound to appealing.... glad you enlightened me! the internet now seems like a dream compared to what it could become with this bill!

[ukilliheal]

you have always been trying to scare your little brother.... and this time it worked.

[TarnSilverwolf]

IF this even passes and if Google etc actually obey this then there will be riots in the streets that will make a occupy wallstreet look like a quiet picnic in the park

[protpvpfulify]

I am really glad you made a video about this. I hadn't known exactly what this bill entailed. Do you think this will actually pass though? Besides the motion picture ass. and the recording ass. (and a few others) the big corporations are against it, along with the whole internet (and all those torrent up-loaders :D). I have contacted my congress person and expresses my feelings, but I still do not think that there is a chance in hell that it will pass.

[JuryDutySummons]

@protpvpfulify It's hard to say if it will pass or not. It enjoys support in the house of representatives. The fact that a majority of the people oppose the bill will only indirectly effect the results - we don't live in a direct democracy, we elect representatives who have the power to make unpopular choices.

[IORNMAN210]

FING WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH ALL THE SHTY BILLS TRYIN TO KILL ME

[MrJackojc90]

will that google listings affect other countries such as google.ie?

[JuryDutySummons]

@MrJackojc90 Google is an American company. Unless they move all of their operations overseas the government will have the ability to enforce the law on them.

[Zelacks]

"I use torrents, shhhhhh dont tell anyone". Welp you are influncing the use of torrents. I guess this video is going down

[JuryDutySummons]

@Zelacks :P

[stormylilac93]

JuryDutySummons for president 2012! ^^

[JuryDutySummons]

@stormylilac93 Haha... :D Real people can't get elected. Only pretend people with no flaws.

[foxpawsd]

Wish I could oppose it with those sites but I don't really want to give a way to contact/find me :|

[ScarlettBlut]

I strongly dislike this bill and want it to die a slow fiery death

[Charizard36]

Uploaded at a sort of bad time. But I'm positive this will get LOTS of attention in the morning. :) It already has lots of attention through hundreds(if not thousands or more) videos, but the more people who know, the better.

[yocow7]

It seems nobody wants this bill passed

[JuryDutySummons]

@yocow7 Yeah, very few people at least.

[AVeryNiceEverything]

@yocow7 No one but congress, and others it will benefit...

[FeelFreetoDie]

@yocow7 Except for the people who matter of course the rich billionaires ( except for the ones that this would make them lose money on. )

[JuryDutySummons]

The description has all of my sources and other interesting reading on this bill.

Please thumb the video up and check out the "how to oppose" section.
