New episode at PATV! - "SOPA & PIPA"

[mascotbeaver104]

oye: its still not dead.

[NotLightYagami]

way to be timely

[Xoronatus7]

when they didn't play the intro at the beginning, i thought it was copyrighted or something

[fab006]

When you have the Department of Homeland Security against a bill infringing civil liberties, you know you've got issues.

[Yous0147]

How is it even possible to do things like this? WTF is wrong with politicians?! Aren't they proffesionals? Shouldn't they be able to do they'r job properly on OUR the PEOPLES behalf and NOT for the big corperations?! I think its time for us to take their job and do what they couldn't do! One big stupid mess...

[AYoungdude]

Ireland is soon going to be hit by ACTA

apparently they the Irish ambassador in Japan is going to sign the treaty tomorrow 

sigh... this act really sux so could we mobilize against this thing to please?

[TheMarioMan1]

That time of Wednesday again.

yay.

[iamLI3]

this video was really pointless , unless it was made just to inform your viewer base that might not have otherwise been aware , but i had everything explained in this video summarized in a single paragraph email that was sent to me more than a dozen times when the internet blackout was gearing up to happen......

[darkdragonsoul99]

they already have recourse you want proof megaupload

[MangaPunkSai]

How childish is it to write off all opposition to SOPA as "nerd concerns". Why are our professional representatives acting like stoned high school jocks? What is this? Do they not understand how much business, the global economy and basically the whole world relies on the internet these days? They themselves probably use the internet every day, even if its just to read mail, check stocks and go on Facebook. How can you be this dense?

[Gaiacarra]

@MangaPunkSai I'm pretty sure that was said in jest.

[tokwok2]

"Oh sweet, finally! The new episode! Wait, that was the last episode. OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE THEY DID ANOTHER ONE"

[MapiesMaster]

OPEN, anyone?

[GLoBeTree1]

as they use copyrighted music for intro and outro, Yahtzee even stopped that, unless you get permission. as i have seen Clinton and after him has just been a boys club of money, i dont think they know we are here anymore, all of the stimulus bills is proof of that.

[MarikBentusi]

@GLoBeTree1 That made me think. He's using all of his pictures under Fair Use, right? Doesn't that apply to music?

[GLoBeTree1]

@MarikBentusi I've heard both

[Rubberman202]

SO much SHIT going on with SOPA, PIPA and ACTA... It's almost enough to make me give up... But I won't!

[djeminescu]

You guys should look into The Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act Of 2011. The clever bastards really pulled a sly one with this bill.

[BrokenBjartur]

Site's back up

[635574]

apparently ACTA took down PA. or someone just thinks what they want. frack this technology -_(\

[MrVirrus]

I GET IT.

[Drakkosh]

Apparently SOPA took down the website! Dun dun duuuun

[elevul]

Penny arcade dead?

[TheQhozt]

Link not working?

[Jyagos1]

@TheQhozt The entire *site* isn't working...

[youtubian2500]

The internets must be saved once again!

Sounds like a job for... Da-dada-daaa

Ignorant Squad of Politicians!

*facepalm*

[emu2469]

click the second link in the description to see the video if penny arcade is down

[DankeSchune]

Sites down... Herp Derp!

[anger123]

@DankeSchune theres a link under the penny arcade link click that...

[crawford1990x]

thats just not funny

[dizitei]

Noooooooooooooo they took down penny arcade (jk jk)

[youtubian2500]

I wonder if they did it on purpose. Seeing as those bills might render most websites unavailable.

And we are seeing the results.

[GBeansauce]

WELP. YOU GUYS BROKE THE WEBSITE AGAIN.

[Simalacrum]

Error 503 service unavailable :(

[12moondoggie12]

Watch it on the EC forums if PA wont load

[DetectiveLance]

Hmmm...A 503 Error after a video damning SOPA and PIPA comes out? Coincidence? ISP conspiracy? Or did Penny-Arcade's servers suffocate?

[stokefan1989]

so many people are wanting to watch the episode that the PA servers cant handle it

[TheDuck1234]

the site worked just 20 min ago !!! O.o

[Ruach]

After having only one real episode in like the past month we get:

Error 503 Service Unavailable

Service Unavailable

Guru Meditation:

XID: 13726757

[TheDrAwesomepants]

503 service unavailable. THE IRONY

[TheDuck1234]

Error 503 Service Unavailable !!!! WTF that scary for a video about SOPA and Pipa

[chaimetheman]

Error 503 Service Unavailable

?

[StorsJoshTaylor]

503 error :'(

[AssassinRecruit]

Lol, minutes after I finished watching the video PA went down.

[ares5566]

OFF THE RECORD WOOOOT!

[MikeDaner2630]

what happen Error 503 Service Unavailable?

[ElementzUK]

Penny arcade is down, click the second link to watch it.

[TBman256]

@ElementzUK it goes down after someone posts a vid about sopa and pipa? how unsettling:(

[FreaperFTW]

I don't understand why politicians shit bricks as if piracy is a new thing. Goods are stolen daily all over the world, and because some millionaire corporations would lose a percentage of their interests the rest of the world gets kicked in the nuts.

[tantamounted]

@FreaperFTW It's not about piracy. It's about ownership. Specifically, it's about *owning the creators* and everything they make, and about *owning access* so you have to pay for everything. It's about gaining and keeping a monopoly on the creative soul.

SOPA/PIPA/ACTA and other attempts at copyright overreach are the Devil shaking his finger at you and saying you should do it his way, because money is more important than anything else in the universe.

[Rolaran]

For those of you getting 503'd at Penny Arcade, the second link in the description (the link to the discussion) has the video up.

[winterkewl]

@Rolaran Thanks for the tips :)

[winterkewl]

503 service not available FFFFFfffffUUUUUUuuuuu :)

[DanJoeProductions97]

503 D:

[jamesruth100]

Damn you penny-arcade!

why u 503!? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

[fagatron97]

Penny arcade is down :(

[Vellustania]

Pretty ironic that penny-arcade gives the 503 error.

[migelsker]

wtf this was the same one as last week

[Vicmonchon]

I would like to say thank you for this, people do blindly go against SOPA/PIPA because it is 'bad' for the Internet. Which ignorance on both sides are bad, but educated reasonings, which you gave us, gives us reasons to oppose.

[Mustkunstn1k]

They said in the beginning of the video that ACTA is in Europe... That is wrong. ACTA IS GLOBAL.

[BosakPet]

So what can we, the good internet folk, do against this ACTA monster?

Any petitions? Who should we write?

[TheDevilBreaker]

Hey ExtraCreditz, any thoughts on the National Defense Authorization Act

Or the other latest bill ACTA?

[Bradjg1978]

Finally, some body telling me what the hell this bill is. Without saying it's the end of the world

[M30W3R]

Don't forget ACTA! No one is talking about it, but it's even more dangerous than the other two!

[yoavsterster]

@M30W3R really? what does ACTA stand for? what will they effect?

[thewakkydude]

@M30W3R ACTA was signed YEARS ago.

[M30W3R]

@thewakkydude sure, but by a handful of countries while nowadays other countries are considering a new draft of it

[CroGamer002]

@thewakkydude

And EU doesn't give a flying fuck for people.

[SuperBromander]

@thewakkydude According the the Wiki page, it was signed Oct 1 last year...

[ByLuckySC2]

@thewakkydude What?!No it was negotiated behind our backs.

[manmanpantsman]

@thewakkydude wut?? years ago? D:

[keepeas1]

@thewakkydude

Actually it was signed in October of last year...it was signed a few months ago

[hejthenerd]

@M30W3R They say so in the end of the video.

[M30W3R]

@hejthenerd I posted on the spur of the moment, because I just read SOPA and PIPA, my bad :<

[misterprickly]

@hejthenerd I hate ACTA with a passion that knows no end!

[aysefo]

@M30W3R they mention it in the vid.

[AssassinRecruit]

@M30W3R ACTA died a very long time ago

[GoemonNeogeon]

@AssassinRecruit Bullshit

[M30W3R]

@AssassinRecruit quite not, actually. Poland is discussing about it right now.

[IRONiHonakoo]

@M30W3R It's not half as bad as SOPA

[M30W3R]

@IRONiHonakoo it's not the gravity of the act as much as how it's gonna affect even more people than SOPA tried to

[IRONiHonakoo]

@M30W3R Do you not understand ACTA is nothing new? it's been around for years...

[RSOG412]

@M30W3R ACTA's not more dangerous. It's significantly less dangerous.If you doubt me, read the actual text of the treaty rather than just what Anonymous has to say about it.
