  • Hehe :D top comment by yous truly ** ME! :D **

  • Does this mean that Comedy Central's website would be taken down since they show lots of Fox News stuff to make fun of on the Daily Show and Colbert Report?

  • I gladly pay for quality products. But I refuse to pay for 90% of the crap Hollywood puts out these days.

  • present/future america = North Korea :D oh how fun!

  • So r u still all proud americans....im not cause im canadian ha ha!!!!

  • I'm so sick of hearing people giving speeches in convulsions about SOPA. Frankly, I strongly support internet piracy as I believe it expands human creativity. If it wasn't for what Napster started in the 90s, I would never have heard of dozens of artists. But the fact of the matter is SOPA was never close to passing and sooner or later the government will win; one day they will control everything because you can't stop them :( All your bitching on the internet won't amount to diddly squat...

  • It's not stealing to download a copy of something which has already been payed for, and it is only available because someone who already payed for it is sharing it with others. I don't give a damn what the laws are, intellectual property my ass. If it's been paid for at all, what people do with it (so long as they're not trying to make a profit off of it somehow) is up to them.

  • I dont believe I should have to pay for something that will eventually be on TV or radio for free anyways... but that's just me.

  • SOPA/PIPA/ACTA and all anti-pirate bills all propose methods that are so broad it would be like using a medieval broad-sword to surgically remove a tumor.

    I dont think its even about pirating...more about information control and manipulation of public opinion :D

  • *Grumbles* Us horrible horrible pirates...

  • Now most people absolutely hate pirating.

    I actually used it. Ironically: I always bought REAL copies of the things I discovered while pirating not (just) because stealing is wrong, but to support the artists.

    Living on pennies pay check to pay check, and getting the BARE MINIMAL of entertainment... makes sense to know.

    Everything else I pirated?

    Well, if I didn't like it: why keep it?

    :/

  • im just curious how the fair use policy effects with the sopa bill

  • SOPA can ban whatever they want, but in their country! so *** it! i don't give ****

  • @KoneyBussines

    It's called the WORLD-wide web. Not the USA-wide web.

    This could have effected all countries.

    Thank goodness SOPA was destroyed. We've got enough economic issues (Greece in particular), without destroying the internet.

  • @manictiger not it cant be!!! cuz it's US governement! and europe dont give a f... whats happening in US no one appreciate this country and their moves! especialy eastern europe and asia! and how can it be, that the US governement creates the rule to cut off internet and that rule expends all over the world! US are nothing it's just a country that thinks that their are one and mighty! but it's not! their rules are not our rules!

  • @KoneyBussines

    Uh, yeah. Most high-impact servers are based in the U.S. If they get shut down, Europe suffers too.

    Anyway, this is old news. Sopa and Pipa have been temporarily stopped and now the worry is that Greece will get stuck in a cycle of debt, which would hurt the entire western economy.

  • Big mistake here. We all know the media is bullshit. Bias, outright lies, telling us only what their owners want us to know. We know that and that's why we get our info online. We were fine with that. Now they've gotten greedy and tried to take that same control over the 'net. They think they can do it because they think we don't know any better, but they're too late. We know their game and we'll fight back.

    They've started a war, and by the time the war is over they will have no power.

  • To some idiots below. This Is not just about downloading things for free. IT GOES WAY BEYOND THAT. LISTEN TO THIS MAN.

  • Film/Music for instance is part of culture. If i was not able to download lots of it for free there whould be so much culture that i whould never be able to enjoy.

    What some people dont get is they are still getting paid plenty.

    And just because you download stuff for free does not mean that you never pay for anything.

    There is some stuff you pay for and some you download for free.

  • THIS BILL WILL DESTROY THE INTERNET AND KILL JOBS.

  • Posting a link of pirate site on your website and BOOM!!! Your site is DOWN!!!

  • The RIAA is going about the piracy problem completely the wrong way.

    You don't fight pirates with unconstitutional laws.

    There is only one thing that defeats pirates.

    Ninjas.

  • SOPA backwards : A Piece of Shit 

  • @LisaGoesRawrxx Pun intended?

  • america land of the free?

  • Isn't ur Samsung logo copyright ?

  • Wilkommen to Amerika der Vierte Reich ( welcome to America the fourth Reich)

  • They should create the American Branch of The Missionary Church of Kopimism, creating online behavior and internet freedom a religious right.

  • Comment removed

  • the world will end when the freedom of the internet ends

  • Bring on anonymous!

  • thats some bullshit there jameslandis

  • read the bills. They're no less vague than any laws we currently have, which are ruled by case law. There's a lot of what he's saying that isn't exactly right. I won't say what is and what isn't, just read the bill and look up things like DNS filtering so that you can understand it. This video is just.... well I don't recommend it.

  • If you want to DEFINITLY stop SOPA, PIPA and future SOPA's and PIPA's then here's the way to do it;

    Massive boycott of all companies behind that proposed legislation. It's high time the RIAA and MIAA and such went extinct anyway.

    And actually would that really be all that bad? Why not just boycott all that consumer shit for a year or two? Enjoy the old stuff you already have. (Or fuck, just pirate it. These companies have been so thuggish over the years it's warranted rebellion at this point.)

  • @TheSkunkCat

    Simple fact is. No more RIAA, no more SOPA... EVER.

    And if one of these companies goes bankrupt and is destroyed over this, the next company will think THRICE before trying to mess with the internet again.

    Consequences is where it's at.

    Show some spine, BOYCOTT them.

  • @TheSkunkCat

    Honestly, as long as these media corporations exist, there's always a SOPA looming over the horizon. And they'll try to pass the next one perhaps WITHOUT alerting the media or anyone.

    Personally I all to often think the current generation is a bunch of useless pissants to be honest. But come on, actually prove me wrong instead of whine at me. Actually -retaliate- against this corporate act of aggression against the internet and your very freedom and BOYCOTT. I'll be doing it!

  • We need anonymous to do something about this!

  • they mess with my internet, i'll have to personally go and kill some jews in congress/senate, i don't care about my life if they mess with the net!

  • wow I love how we Americans like to call ourselves "free" and a "capitalistic country" yet we let the government control us and control our economy and society...

  • You are killing the internet you stupid evil rich jews,fuck you,if i want to watch a free movie on the net let me do it,it wont be super qualliti but i pay for internet connection.

    I dont get these "LAWS".. in USA u can buy a gun legaly but you cant watch a movie on the net?MORONS rule our world

  • Aaah so this is the end of the world, oh well...what can you do

  • Fucking Hate SOPA and PIPA!!!!! God bless ANONYMOUS xD

  • Larar Smith hates kittens. A vote for SOPA is a vote to BBQ a kitten.

  • now there is ACTA!! BLEH!!

  • Comment removed

  • i do not agree with this. i dont want everything on the internet to go. For once, i'm going to take a stand and fight this!! Screw PIPA AND SOPA!!!

  • watch my video before it's to late!! now!

  • I live in criminal Russia so I don't give a fuck about it

  • well....

    this sucks

  • No porn?? SHIT

  • DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?

    NO

    FREE

    PORN

  • I know a website I go to a lot to where I can type in almost any movie I like and watch it for free. Am am I a criminal lol? NO its not like im going to a store with a baggy pants and stealing dvds down my pants. I bet everyone on here would do the same thing and go to the same site as I do. We the users have nothing to lose. The owners however of the website do beccause they are providing it. Now please exuse me while I make some popcorn and watch me some free movies.

  • @Numba1SouthParkFan I know im suporting copyright infringement but I really dont give a damn. If its free material then im gonna watch it no matter what. Im not gonna denie something free if I dont have anything to lose.

  • @Numba1SouthParkFan you are the EXACT reason why this law is being brought up

  • @Numba1SouthParkFan

    Wait you're being sarcastic right?

    But even if that is a sarcastic way to say you don't like peopel who are against the bill, the bill shuts down websites when the websites themselves haven't done anything wrong.

    It would be like shutting down louisville sluggers because someone was beaten with a baseball bat.

    If you were being serious, than you are an idiot, and stealing is stealing. 

  • Anyone who agrees to SOPA and PIPA did not watch or did not understand this video. If you want other people who enjoy the internet to be cut off from their favorite internet sites, YOU should leave the internet. You don't appreciate it like we do, so you have no say in if it should stay or be taken away.

  • tht is what we all get for letting Obama into the Whitehouse!!! All we are allowed to do now is sit, watch, && wait.... Just like he said Bush would have never done this...although he did stuff wrong but nothing compared to trying to control the internet... o_0

  • now i know why they said the world is gonna end, all my favorite websites gone bye bye no way Fuck SOPA!

  • @ClipCinemaHD R.I.P btjunkie.org (2005 -2012)

  • If SOPA passes, the US needs to have tons of money to spend so that they could keep people entertained... :/

  • If sopa passes youtube in going to be shut down. Stop sopa

  • @logandell14 Yes that is true. If someone does a cover song.. and uploads it to youtube so users can view it.. YouTube will get Shut Down. They class this as Copyright.

  • so what is Galaxy tab for? and some gadget that have a application that need to be connect into internet??

  • Weird subs. .. Anyway, SOPA and PIPA and the ACTA are going to affect the whole world eventually, so people from all nations should come together and fight against them!!! Just wondering how these supporters can surf the net when most of them are down...

  • SOPA=FOLLOW THE MONEY they were paid to do this im sure. :/

  • Who the hell did sub this video??? -.-

    Anyways....If they really succeed in passing SOPA...I´m kinda worried about the consequences this whole thing will have,not only on the internet but also what the people might do :/

    I´m also not a fan of all this online piracy thing but ...come on SOPA will only have negative effects and not only in the US but worldwide ...

  • @AkuRoku4EverTogether

    I agrew tih you. I'm not for online piracy, but SOPA is just saying we can't enforce this law the right way, and go after the actual criminals, so we;re gonna go after the websites who did nothing instead.

    And you could post something on any website and get it shutdown.

  • I have to disagree with one statement. We are not powerless. I have been recommending that when people contact their congressmen they point out that the job they hold is, at best a temp job and we can take it away from them at the ballot box. That is the one thing that contributors and lobbyists can't guarantee with their contributions. Reelection!

    Throw all these bums out and hire a bunch of new bums.

  • 3,531 likes 75 dislikes wow 75 people hate life

  • @xXRANDYBEARXx no 75 people agree that sopa sucks but they think the young turks suck even more

  • If SOPA passes, everything would change...not for the better.

  • if this law passes, i will most likely get bored and die..

  • You can mess with anything in the world... except the internet.

  • @ml2235 Right, that's where we draw the line

  • Washington Hypocrisy! limit the amount of money people can SUE their doctor for malpractice lawsuits. even if your 14 year old son is paralyzed and needs 3 people to care for him?

    BUT Hollywood has the right to SUE people and businesses out of existence. to levy fines like 10 million on a 20 year old college student? or 5 years in prison for a grandmother?

    is there anyone here brave enough to defend what Hollywood is doing???

  • the movie AVATAR made 2.7 billion dollars in revenue. despite being shared over 20 million times! and it still makes money. Tell Mr Dodd at the MPAA to S.T.F.U. he's lucky his ass isnt in a federal prison! in the senate he was the dirtiest member with underhanded deals and kickbacks since AL Capone and Lucky Luciano. any other country he'd be taken out and shot in the back of the head for nearly bringing america to financial ruin.

  • Hollywood cant go after CHINA who makes billions off of stolen content! that's real PIRACY what CHINA does! instead they SUE the little people to make examples of them."don't F with us were a monopoly" says Hollywood to the 60 year old grandmother of five, threatened with jail time or millions in fines for one song. or the 20 year old college kid for sharing a movie he bought at blockbuster. put these people in their place!

    DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY INTERNET

  • END SOPA Piss on PIPAs lawn!!!

  • Comment removed

  • 109.236.83.66

  • PIRATE FOREVER !!! FUCK SOPA IN THE ASS !!!

  • boo! go to hell sopa!

  • megavideo IS DOWN, I repeat megavideo IS DOWN

  • I thought the US was supposed to have a democracy. This sounds like something any dictator you can think of is capable of doing.

  • Im just enjoying youtube till SOPA AND PIPA shut it down :(

  • Spamhaus is a DNS-Based blacklist operated by a private organization that uses their influence to suppress creativity, man-handle ISPs, and ultimately shut down a website without any warrant or right to do so. They do this with an 'iron-fist' tactic called extortion and digital terrorism and have been doing so for over 10 years.

  • i signed up twice for they could stop this!

  • Congress should at least consider repealing the First Amendment and Fourth Amendment before even considering passing an Internet Censorship bill such as SOPA, because it would be in violation of the First Amendment and the Fourth Amendment and Unconstitutional!

  • @plutocratarianism this is a joke, right?

  • if it gets passed i hope anonymous destroys us.gov

  • @fundslender I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • Lammar Smith, the guy who created SOPA has withdraw his vote for passing this law, we don't know if it's gone for good yet, but keep on hope and keep voting agains them before he come back (my english suck, please understand, and maybe a little thumps up so other can see)

  • throughout history kings and leaders whould burn books to keep people from gaining knowledge so they wont rebel against the ruler,its the same thing their trying to do with the american people,its just to stop to people from gaining knowledge to keep the people dumb to stop people from realizing what the government is up to, its sad,America is becoming a fascist country,this isn't a democracy there trying to turn it in to a dictatorship.

  • Doesn't Hollywood have enough money.... I hate those asshhole

    Stick it up to the man !!!!!!

  • megaupload's down, what's next???

  • I like obama and what he was trying to accomplish, but to have obama be associated with SOPA is just down right wrong.

  • Sopa sucks.

  • Poor bastards can't buy a video game or movie from the store? Too bad, as long as Pornhub is alive I say GO SOPA.

  • @Sovember Get off this page, porn industries are not in favor for SOPA! Why? Well porn industries make porn movies of hollywood movies! They'd get sued in a heart beat!

  • @Jebrone Porn is good.

  • @Sovember shut up you prick

  • @andresfelipe123456 I'm a prick for not agreeing with you?

  • is this a part of the "NEW WORLD ORDER"?, scary..

  • I'm moving to Canada....

  • @89Squidney if sopa goes into effect your not safe there either o.O

  • What a Square and a Grandpa.

  • True is not about piracy is about controlling the internet.

  • Sopa means soup in spanish I think. :P

  • I hate SOPA!

  • this is a disgrace 2 our once great country. nazi germany here we come

  • America: it's lots cheaper to see a movie than Australia. But still too much

    Australia: 12-18$ for a child, 18-25$ for an adult.

    See why people download?

    Try:

    A) Make it cheaper to see a movie.

    B) Then take down download sites.

    C) Dont take away our internet. That's not just America you're affecting, IT'S THE WORLD.

  • Well guys, the internet is gone

    Oh, hey there coloring book and crayons.

    Time to get you guys used up pretty fast now.

  • this guy is so much better than my boring fucking political science professor

  • life without facebook, twitter, and google. Cell phone companies will profit....

  • TAKE DOWN LINE WIRE!!!! FUCK ALL THE CHEAP ASSES WHO CANT JUST BUY THE SONGS!!!

  • SOPA in Swedish translates to sweep or trash, either applies quite well I think.

  • RIP

    Mega-upload

    March 21 2005 - January 19 2012

  • bill passes --> google dead. has a direction to nearly any site in the world, so there is bound to be an ill youtube dead--> 1 copyrighted video is enought. facebook dead--> one wrong link to a youtube video means gone. google dead. has a direction to nearly any site in the world, so there is bound to be an illegal one on it. Now, if i understood right. then any site that is linked too by google will be gone. there you have it. internet does not excist anymore. (did i understand it right?)

  • This is making me so angry I swear >,<

  • iWonder what would the SOPA followers would do without the internet ??

  • Fuck you SOPA & PIPA. If SOPA and PIPA pass then America have destroyed the internet and ALL of the world will be affected. Fuck you SOPA and fucking PIPA

  • What is the porpose of using internet if they blocking or removing those usefull website.. better to think 1st bfor doing acction.

  • If youtube get's shut down I will literally get less fat haha, maybe this is a good thing... Nah just kidding I couldn't care less XD

  • I want to be a Trail Lawyer, and even if I was one I wouldn't support the bill because I am fond of the internet.

  • If SOPA passes, I will leave internet 

  • @locatop1 If SOPA passes, there won't be an internet to leave =(

  • Every should vote for Ron Paul And Obama needs to fuck off. Ron Paul said he is going to do something about this. Even i'm Australian i find Obama an ass

  • @MegaTheTruth777 Obama is in strong opposition to sopa, it has bi-partisan support and with lobbyist and the whole bullshit of American politics he can be vetoed.

  • I'm in favor or pirates :D !

  • FUCK SOPA!!!! 

  • This is why England is better; constitutional monarchy. Because The Queen can just go in and kick all these politicians arses (by just saying: You're fcking sht! You're all fired).

  • Fuck SOPA and FUCK PIPA!!

  • Fuck you S.O.P.A & P.I.P.A.

  • Error - (this comment has been removed by S.O.P.A)

  • Well, say what you want about Ron Paul, at least he opposes this shit.

  • Fight the Power!!! C'mon gov you are supposed to stop monopolies

    from forming,and SOPA creates that on the internet.Who says the US

    gov can shut down websites in other countries?It sounds like greedy Hollywood and big corporations are whining about pirated movies and are paying the gov to "stop" it, and at

    the same time control the internet.The internet and probably YouTube will be ruined!

    If this bill passes I'm moving to Canada and downloading a shit ton of movies,this is unreal

  • this is fucking stupid. come on politics and the rest. you're really ruining it for the rest of us. what's happened to the world now? i know it's a fight to survive but really.. this is just crazy.

  • SOPA: The final boss of the internet.

  • Looks like some politicians had too much whiskey with a mixture of smoking weed and crystal meth

  • This is just one more step for the corporations to take more and more control and to stamp out the little guys and independent creativity. They all want you to goose step to the golden arches and seek out Big Pharma when you are sick while watching Britney Spears and Madonna. Screw them - Congress bought out by the filthy rich to do their bidding. When will you all WAKE UP and DEMAND an end to all of this?

  • if Americans are losing money from Europe then just block that shit music movie game or whatever it is just like you have done in YouTube many videos are not available in my country perhaps

    that's it no need to do the leader here fucking yanks fuck off

  • Fuck SOPA!!!  it is very wrong and it's like a big bully of the internet.

  • MEGAUPLOAD IS DOWNNNN MY LIFE IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THE GOVERNMENT TRYING TO DUMB DOWN PEOPLE OR SOMETHING. IS IT BECAUSE WE'RE TOO SMART FOR OUR OWN GOOD?

  • 74 people wrote this bill.

  • I now have a lot of respect for this YouTube group and to EVERYONE who is against ACTA, SOPA, PIPA, and all similar bills and anything that takes away freedom and unjustified ideals.

  • sopa should fix these subtitles

  • @dll5050 they cant that his rights and if they copy them he can shut them down

  • ThePirateBay is so fucked.

  • In defense of the Pharmaceutical Companies, maybe their concern is that anyone who can copy and paste their copyright protected logos could then claim to offer their patented products. i am not generally a proponent of the pharmaceutical industry but a going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this issue. And yes of course the law will protect their profits. Also if any big-pharm reps read this, please lobby to legalize marijuna, psilocibyn, cocaine and LSD and re-legalize mdma. Thank you.

  • If SOPA passes, I'll enter usa.gov and post around copyrighted materials. Just too see if that site gets shutdown.

  • @antichrist2death smart ass man :D like the way you think

  • its the fucking illuminaties lolololololo

  • i think this dude should run for president he actually knows what hes talking about

  • How the fuck can anyone dislike this? wtf??

  • How the world will end:

    On December 21, 2012, after months of lobbying and filibusting, despite all odds and the effort of both the Obama administration and the common people who wish to uphold freedom of speech on the internet...

    Stop Online Privacy Act and PROTECT Intellectual Property Act becomes law through a veto vote against the president.

  • @GrovyleXShinyCelebi it all makes sense now

  • this is crap!! I live in Peru..and I'm so against this new bill!! its ridicules...
