  • why did Halo4follower send me here?

  • especially since this law wont just effect the USA

  • wish other countries could sign your petitions

  • Mother fuckers. I didn't here about this until i logged into google.

    Someone needs to put this on the news, or make a lot of youtube videos.

    A lot of people will miss this, and the small group of people who wants this will get it done.

    The government should print this shit out, and show it to everyone lol.

    How can you just pass a bill, and leave half of Americans in the dark?

    Soooo many people won't know about it until it happens.

    Jesus.

  • @Crankyjimster hear*

  • @Crankyjimster Everybody already knows about SOPA and PIPA. It has been all over the news.

  • AND he's co-authored a bill abbreviated OPEN that seeks to protecte commerce AND free speech.

  • This guy is awesome. He's fought similar bills, numbering 5 as of SOPA and PIPA, since 1997 with CDA and DMCA.

  • I can't believe this bill has sooo many Democrat co-sponsors, a true liberal would never support anything like this. This bill is internet censorship and property rights on steroids.

  • 2 thumbed down were Microsoft and Nintendo.

  • @ncubica Nah, the two dislikes are the MPAA and RIAA, they love SOPA/PIPA the most!

    I once commented on an article on the Huffington Post about SOPA "Myths", written by the MPAA Vice Pres, and they didn't even post my truthful comment. See they censored my view, proof they love it the most!

  • I just signed the petition, its night time ill call my representative tomorrow. This video actually has the lease thumbs down of any 'popular' video on youtube. but seriously who thumbed down this video??

  • @sasukesan767 Lamar Smith and Patrick Leahy. :)

  • @sasukesan767 VOTING today

  • i normally don't sign petitions but seeing the nature of this law... i Mas Sergio have signed I hope my name along with many others are read. I don't know why the sign button is on the right while the input box is on the left? Anyways DONE plz don't spam my email account now with ads asking for money lol.

  • Killuminati

  • This man will save the internet!

  • You make our state proud Senator. Thank you for standing up for our rights. I signed.

  • I've decided to move to Oregon just to vote for you. I think I speak for the rest of the Internet when I say, I you run for President, we would ALL vote for you.

  • PIPA= Protect Internet Pornography Act

  • People,why dont you share this??Paste it on Faceboot,Twiter,G+ or on your fucking car!!!I don`t wan`t to watch what they tell me,i wan`t to be free!

  • NOO ..NOOOOOO not my PORN !!!!

  • Why is this guy not president?

  • good man

  • Ron Wyden for 2012...

  • Good on you, Oregon. You voted in a good one.

  • Each and every average American would probably salute you for this video.

  • Good to see a true American politician and not some lobbyist bitch

  • BACKGROUND MUSIC PLEASEEE?

  • STOP SOPA!!!!

  • Not just of the American economy, the world economy :/ Anyway good sir, you deserve an internet.

  • Good on you. I wished I lived in your state so I could vote for you, and I'm not even a democrat.

  • Ron Paul 2013

  • I'm Swedish, I signed.

  • @LichBane483

    And the internet thanks you for it. You're okay in our book!

  • I submitted my name for this.

  • SOPA would kill the internet as we know it.

    it confers no rights; it imposes no duties;

    it affords no protection; it creates no office;

    it is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative

  • The Internet Hero.

  • TIMES ARE CHANGING. ALSO CHECK OUT SANTOS BONACCI AND DEAN CLIFFORD FOR MORE INFO!

  • China, North Korea and Iran have passed similar bills...

  • @Herkeless On November 15th, the Bill Of Rights were basically destroyed.Now, Obama can declare ANY American a terrorist and have he or she sent to Guantanamo Bay without a trial, and now we have this.At the rate America is going, Obama will manipulate the OWS crowd to violence which gives him power to declare Marshal Law, suspending both the Constitution, along with ending any elections.2012 is going to be a very bumpy ride.

  • @Herkeless Which means this is just the beginning... O_O scary lol

  • @Herkeless

    Now that not really true the law is similar but you can still upload gameplay videos movies and tv show only on certain sites

  • @Deathbyreality1 Oh yes, indeed. But the bill is a good starting place for intelligent discussion, unlike SOPA.

  • @Herkeless

    North korea dose not have internate you dumb ass.....only the leader and government officials do.North Korea has concentration camps where they starve people to death and most people dont even have tv!

  • @asomeman1223 I have to say- people who resort to profanity to express themselves while talking about such matters strike me as fools who stand no reason in an argument. whatever. No, they do not. Many have never heard of the internet. Neverless, the gov't does have de facto control of the internet- thus no actual law. Then again, totalaritarian nations tend to have few.

  • 1,017,420 signatures now. This is gonna take longer than reading Twilight's YMMV page on TvTropes.

  • Huh, I thought it was the LAND OF THE FREE. Isn't not censoring media a large part of this whole "freedom of speech" thing?

  • I'd vote for him... bout time a career politician properly addressed technical concerns.

  • i hope it reaches more soon on the site called avaaz global petition it has 937.001 signs will those be read off in ron wydends fillbuster i hope so

  • @PsychoBurgundy3

    Thanks for signing -- we're up to about 150,000 signatures so far.

  • @overlydemanding Make that 150,001 signatures. ;-)

  • everyone we need to petition obama to veto each bill if passed we truly can not let this happen i hope ron wydens fillbuster kills both Sopa And Pipa acts this video only has about 45.000 views it needs to be way more than that i mean why cant congress do something useful like fix the encomy more jobs healthcare but no they have to Kiss hollywoods and the music industrys ASS and have then make the decisions i mean its all about money Google should do the same thing tip people off anything

  • Why this video has 2 dislikes must be a accident. I know, I've done it before, but not on this one! If someone did dislike this they must not like Youtube.

  • @dudefromtheearth or fanfiction...

  • i hope ron wyden succeeds in kiliing both the protect ip act and sopa bill i mean the government wants to take away everything from us are rights internet privacy both bills are a clear violation to the first amendtent right i we barey have enough to pay rent buy food get good healthcare i my god what else does these people want please make your voices Heard Against Congress 202-224-3121 please Call everyone we cant let these bills pass

  • @darkstar77able I feel you. Free local TV has been threatened too.

  • guys we cant give in we need to contiue the pressure untill these bills are dead, ron wyden definitely has my vote fighting for internet freedom and our rights i hope he wins this battle against congress

  • Ron Wyden is my senator. He's definitely earned my vote for decades to come.

  • its pathetic te government gives in to money so fast by the movie industry and music industry there are some vile corrupt people no words can describe how pathetic these people are i mean leave the internet alone its sad so many things happing out there and stoping piracy is the only thing these corrupted Basturds can thing about i mean have they take away our rights piece by piece i truly hope ron wyden defeats these bills truly i do, something needs to be done about the gov

  • This bill is so awesome! Now I can revive my moments back in China, where I had to use proxies! Now I come halfway across the globe, and this happens!

    Deja vu!

    Using proxies to access the Internet will be so cool. I can't wait!

  • when is this taking place?

  • Sad that this video only has 40k views while music videos get 250,000,000.... This is so fucking important people!

  • If this bill passes, honestly, you Americans (ESPECIALLY small business owners) should start leaving your country in droves. Just get the hell out of dodge. Time to make a new home. You do not want to be the victims of the new oppressive regime. We have PLENTY of room up in Canada and we are really nice, too. We'd be happy to have you here =D

  • The Senate just passed the National Defense Act!

  • everyone needs to keep on this untill both the protect ip act and e-parasite act dies

  • yes he's great man i truly hope he succeeds in killing this protect ip act bill

  • HELLZ TO THE YEAH

    DOWN WITH THIS BILL, YOU ROCK MAN!

  • Just signed the petition, this is seriously the worst idea ever to come out of congress. The internet is the source of so much innovation, shutting down the internet in America would mean the end of America as a leader in the world.

  • @TheBriansDenn agreed, they should attack in these situations, not jump on game companies and other kiddy stuff.

  • I'm not from US, ubfortunately.

  • They can't wait to control the internet. It's only place left where we actually have freedom and they hate it...so much for land of the free. I hope more senators support Wyden.

  • there is no way to gona go against google , twitter and ebay . No politic wana go against these guys so we safe ;D

  • Im proud to say I live in Oregon.

  • When will they learn... Fight the Internet and you will always lose.

  • @glitchedgamer They just cant handle it its too free and "free" of any sort to them seems dangerous and unstable... as they are the finest examples of self control and sanity they cant allow us peasants have this much power.

  • guys tumblr is doing a massive call in to congress tommorrow please join the fight against them we will fight for internet freedom and not let the gov say what we can can not do online we will make are voices heard strong

  • Thank you for fighting with us.

  • Hahahaha government has another thing coming if they thing they are going to control the internet. Bahahahah >:)

  • the government is corrupt and will do underhanded tactics to pass ether bill which i truly hope they fail nether bill needs re written it needs to ripped up and thrown out simple as 123

  • Everyone we need this video to go viral message from demandprogress that this needs to go viral we need more people on this and there trying to modify both bills to compare with the recent net nutrailty rejection this is not right please spread the word about this as much as possible the government is drastically overstepping there grounds i hope both bills fail and get rejected but please spread the petition link to your sites or blogs friends make it known

  • I would participate in this but sadly only US Citizens can do this phone idea.

  • America has no business in controlling the Internet, which they seem to forget is an INTERnational NETwork.

  • @LITE992 Censors internet in the US. Meaning someone in the US trying to find something blacklisted will have a VERY hard time of finding it. People outside of the US shouldn't have a problem.

  • Everyone American Censorship is doing a massive call in to congress tomorrow or tuesday to prevent the passing of the protect ip act and sopa please join the call in we need to do everything possible to prevent the bill from happing and show the government that we wont stand for this. i hope ron wyden gets enough signs to complete his fillbuster more support everyone spread the word

  • Ron Wyden you are a good man

  • Wyden and DSP FTW!!!!!!

  • Fuck! if this actually happened everyone will be freaking affected, even here in England D:

  • LEGEND!!!

    I would sign up but unfortunately I don't live in the US

  • @joevictor53 Doesn't matter, US citizens control the vast majority of all web content, if our government censors sites, you WILL be affected.

  • @Shadowdyce11 Who said I wouldn't be affected? I said "I would sign up but unfortunately I don't live in the US" i.e. I can't do jack about this as I don't live in the US. If I did, I would've signed up immediately

  • @joevictor53 If you clicked the link on the upper right side of the site, you could then click on the next loaded pages link that says "I'm not in the US." and type in your country! You can send a letter after all!

  • @StoneMonkWisdom Oh right yeah that. I did that already when DSP told people about it. I was talking about the list of peoples names

  • he looks like Liam Neeson

  • God Bless this Senator.

    Also, DSP.

  • The bill cannot be passed!!

  • Ok i wanna go on the record, i don't give single fuck about politics, I'm not saying to be an a-hole

    But why censor the internet?

    How about require all ISP to prevent their customers from going to these Illegal websites, like filter them, like the The pirate by, or other malice websites? It doesnt invade their privacy, it prevent illegal behavior, and companies get their money that they deserve.

    God, my country is ignorant as shit.

  • DSP

  • hey guy, who disliked it look at the dislike br that is the size of your penis end of story

  • @elliott954 what if its a chick

  • This is the first guy in politics I like

  • DarksydePhil

  • I would bet real money that this bill wasn't written by any senator or congressman or his staff. Bills like this one that are so far out of the American spirit or the American reality are regularly handed to corrupt senators and congresspeople who are tasked to bring them before the assembly. Presenting a completely ghost-written bill to a member of Congress should be outlawed. And any Senator or Congressman(or woman) who votes for this bill should have a target painted on them in November 2012.

  • do you have to be in the us. sing ? for him to say your name ?

  • @watchop no

  • and congress is trying to pass PIPA the protect ip act HR-3261 there trying to trick other senators that the ip act is to save jobs yeah right american censorship is doing a massive call in nextweek to congress to tell them dont pass nether bill iam just trying everything possible spread the word about this i dont want youtube or any other site taken down because of this bill

  • Everyone please spread the word more about this i found a site it was posted on november 22nd ron wyden said he may not have enough votes to do his fillbuster it said 60.000 votes but iam sure its more than that now please make your voices he said thats the key if congress does not hear from you the protect ip act may pass please make massive calls to congress last time its was 87.000 we need to Triple That Amount hears the number 202-224-3121- thats the number to congress from the site

  • These TWO Bills

    The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act ( must be stopped at all costs.

  • I don't see a form on the website for me to sign. Its in the source code for the site, but my browser isn't rendering it.

  • @TheMisken the petition link is in the description or you can google stopsensorship it will be there

  • @darkstar77able No, you didn't understand my problem. Its a website rendering error; I opened the html code and fixed it a bit and it worked.

  • iam behind Ron Wyden 100% i hope he can stop both these ridiculous bills everyone we cant let this Happen we need more people involed in this, tumblr has made great sucess in making are voices heard we need to gear up for that again more calls to congress and for more people sign this petition

  • i checked if ether bill pass i read on a site the goverment will have the power to cancel orders if someone is ordering something overseas like china or japan or any foreign country i mean what the hell is wrong with these people have there minds gone south i mean this stuff is totally ridiculous the part i dont see is how these damn bills could even make it this far extremely poor written shit i mean why its all because of hollywood those stupid fools and the basturd thats sponsering the bill

  • if the bills get voted on next week i think his fillbuster will begun then i guess not for sure i just hope both bills are defeated soon we need to make more people aware of this before its to late i been trying hard to spread the word about this if we get enough support on this we can make a difference just the key is making it know to everybody like radio or tv ads will be good also

  • when is his filibuster going to happen i want to see my name read

  • Let's spread the word and help Senator Wyden kill these bills in their tracks! What a clever way to show that we stand as opponents in opposition to this bill.

  • everyone petitions at opencongress votes can be signed there to

  • This man = Hero.

  • Being a conservative I usually disagree with democrats, but this is an exception.

  • i dont like the way he said "as it is written" it implies that it may still be acceptable to him if it is re written, i dont think it would be acceptable in any form, there can be no compromise on this ,it just needs to go,period, if it dont there should be massive civil unrest in the streets that will make the global ows and other protests pale in comparison

  • @shyanmar no it dont ,your thinking about acta ,but if the you tube servers are in the US then yeah it would for that site, and it will block US citizens from viewing foreign sites ,but not foreign sites from being viewed by people outside the US ,but acta would ,

  • People of the web! Spread the Word!

  • yeah your right there should be mass protest against this bill like now if so we need to make it know fast we cant let the goverments take are rights away like this we need to stand up four are rights like today and show the goverment wear not letting them takr away are freedom of the internet and free speech lets make it know that we all wont stand for this the internet is freedom to everyone and lets keep it that way

  • Right now the RIAA and MPAA are the most vile, heinous, un-American organizations in the U.S.

    The Nazis did things a lot like this once they seized power in Germany.

    What's next? Legislation to make concentration camps for copyright infringers?

  • Whether this bill passes or not there should be MASS protests against this bill and against the government. The government has NO right to take this type of freedom of speech and expression away from us. There are already bills that combat piracy, don't they realize that?

  • yeah we need to to spread the word as fast as possible i found more information he said the protect ip act not sopa possible has a easy chance to pass could but you never know wyden needs all the support he can get on this please everyone spread the word about this as fast as possible its already more than 60.000 signs already but we need more please let everyone know about this friends family and others to take down these bills i mean its great what ron wyden is doing please need help fast thnx

  • Thank you, Mr. Wyden, for being one of the few people to actually listen to the American populace.

    You have my support.

  • Everyone like, favorite, share, EVERYTHING this video. We need to spread this message to those who haven't heard it as quickly as possible. If you have any friends with high exposure on their youtube channels, twitter accounts, or anything else, URGE them to talk about this.

  • '...one of the fastest growing sector...'

    It's kinda sad that we need to resort to 'IT KILLS JOBS' talking point to protect basic freedom like free access to the internet....

  • EVERYONE: Spread this video far and wide, we need more momentum!

  • Thos bills don't just affect people who use the internet users in america, but every internet site based in america.

  • i truly hope this makes a difference just got info more than 50.000 people signed the petition its aimed at 100.000 to sign before next week everybody please contiue to spread the word as much as possible it seems to be working because apple mircosoft intel and adobe now oppose the bill we just need to keep it up

  • You know, if his hair wasn't a comb over, he would sorta look like Liam Neeson...

  • I want to sign because I know this is important . But because I'm not a US citizen you won't let me! WIDEN your criteria Demand PprogressPAC !

  • I agree that there is a legitimate threat, and the internet can't stay the wild west forever. As a content creator, of course I want to be protected. But this bill dosen't do that.

    It's a big challenge to make effective legislation in regards to the interent, for many reasons.

    It's an even bigger if not impossible challenge to reverse.

    All I ask is that people vote smart.

    From Daniel Newman and all the rest of your supporters back home.

    Thank you for being our voice Mr. Wyden

  • yeah guys mircosoft apple intel and adobe now is opposing the bill the protect ip act and sopa is losing support because the companys are starting to wake up and oppose the bill we need to keep it going strong untill both bills are deafeated

  • WYDEN IS THE MAN

  • Im glad I voted Wyden.

  • I agree, I hope you can stop this bill from passing!

  • This is probably the only senator qualified to be one...

  • AMENDEMENT 1 FREEDOM OF SPEECH

  • Ok, I'm just going to come out and say it: RON WYDEN 2012! We need a smart man in office.

  • Wyden is the best politician troll ever.

    I mean reading off thousands of names to annoy the hell out of everyone is the most lulziest thing you can do.

  • I signed and shared. I encourage EVERYONE to follow suit.
