So if these corporations are trying to screw us why don't we all pull support from these companies? They are the entertainment industry, it's about time we remind them that they cater to us.
We the people was spoken in this situation showing that we all have a voice. Im glad that it didnt take place and seeing what coulda happen I think is a really scary thing to think about. This issue was really not to much talked about in the Media because its the media owned by this whole thing we called entertainment Hollywood stars all that it is. Rich you were one of those guys, who really put this out their and I thank you.
I used to watch Fox a lot but don't really anymore. I can't stomach the other channels because they are anti-Israel and make Jews look evil. They're just as bad as Hitler IMO.
Your right man you rarely saw sopa/pipa spoken of on mainstream media. I was telling my friend that is because many of the media outlets are owned by parent companies who also own many of these entertainment companies which fully support sopa/pipa. I was watching msnbc and the one time they touched on sopa the reporter said msnbc parent company comcast fully supports both bills. I thought if I had comcast I'd be switching cable providers.
Once you realise the left right paradigm is just theatre played out by actors. A political version of pro-wrestling that dupes the majority of society, then you wake up and see things for what they really are. Is there a 'new world order'? I have no idea, but I do know there is a convergence of ideals and a real battle going on between old age ideas and the future.
Government isnt more corrupt, its only uncovered more in this age of internet.
i think imma pay alot of more attention cuz i wanna start doing covers on songs and also i wanna do gameplay on video games so in order for me to do that i gotta stay in touch with whats going on.
I liked this video so much I shared it all over facebook. Thank you, Rich. You are one of the best youtubers out there. We owe you a big THANK YOU for everything you're doing. Not only how you entertain, but bring us updates on these issues and open up about your personal life and elaborating on your own experiences. I could relate to your situation.
I personally woke up to reality in 2008, when I started college I didn't have cable. I got all of my news from The Young Turks and then started having the desire to research things myself instead of believing everything I hear on TV
I woke up after seeing Javan's Illuminati vids a while back. Now seeing that politicians in Greece are literally in a mob with judges, policemen, etc., it amazes me the lengths people will go to for power.
I could not care less about politics, but this one struck a cord with me. The internet is our last at freedom of speech, we can't speak our minds in the real world so we come on here and do it, and the government has NO RIGHT to tell us we can't, this is our world, we will act right in your world if you leave ours alone.
Why do you say "American Citizens" was it only the Americans votes who signed the petition that counted? What about the rest of North America such as myself since I am in Canada?
I come from Iran and Iran politics is a little more among people. I what I mean is people pay a lot more attention to politics since their youth. My wake up call was the first time I watched the news and see how corrupt and dirty our world is.
Thank you for investing time in this... American politics have been frightening for a few years with the focus being on irrelevant things.. Its all about God, the American dream, freedom and all that crap.. I'm tired of my country trying to "impress" America by joining them in every bullshit war (sending bomber planes to Libya meant pulling out UN peacekeeping forces from Lebanon.. 150 soldiers in Lebanon were cheaper than 5 planes in Libya - but guess what mission America would notice?)
@nielsb90 I know its an irrelevant example but my eyes have been opened to the madness that is politics.. I often watch Fox News on youtube just to shake my head and be pissed off lol.. We have the same nutjobs here but luckily they don't have power.. Oh - and I usually vote as far left/socialist as I can..
My friend in highschool deleted his entire library of pirated music (a lot of music). I was really proud of him. Even though he got some of it back by borrowing CDs and putting them on iTunes, he really did make an effort to recreate his music collection in a legitimate way. Pirating needs to stop, I don't know if it ever will, but at the moment I'm happy SOPA/PIPA got iced.
Haha, jk. But something really does need to be done about it, because PC game and movie piraters are too fucking stupid to realize all of the trouble they're contributing to.
It really pisses me off that so many people blatantly voilate copyright laws and think that it's ok as long as they put a little note in the description that says they don't own the rights to it.... That's like painting I STOLE THIS on a car. It doesn't make it ok lol.
No. Democracy is dead in America. They don't give a fuck about what voters think of them. Americans won't fight for their rights. They get pissy in some forums for a few days then go back to sitting on their couch watching American Idol and eating TV dinners.
Look at the French. When their government does something to piss them off, they protest the shit out of it and the government listens. So there is trust between the government and civilians there unlike here in the US.
@EPICsliceOFcake hmmm as far as i know the people behind SOPA were pretty open about their goals. UNLINKE the people behind ACTA in europe where they were masking a similar bill and discussed it during agricultual meetings. And the people behind ACTA were no elected officials, those were just the lobbyists.
@EPICsliceOFcake besides democracy is dead not just in america. More like the entire western culture. More and more people don't vote. Because some people don't want the middle class that is doing ok to vote. Yeah voting is a cumbersome process and the entire system should be overhauled, but that doesn't excuse not showing up. It doesn't excuse not to give a fuck about politics.
@marvelmania You don't get how Americans feel about their government. The general people think of the government like it's some foreign body.There's no trust between the government and the people. This is because most people are stupid and vote politicians based on their personality and not on their policies. If those are the same people that are too lazy to vote, then good. I don't want them to vote.
I don't understand how people are calling this a win when the very next day MegaUpload gets canned. This bill means NOTHING!!! They are going to do whatever they want with the internet. Last summer they declared the we a "theater" for war. meaning if there is ever a internet "red alert", they will shut it down without the approval of congress. Democracy no longer exists, Rich.
@TiMMYSQUibbLES Sopa would let them do that to websites not in the US. Megaupload got sloppy and bought servers in Virginia that's all the government needed to shut them down.
@xNeighborOfTheBeastx That sucks. I would have to think that the laws in Virginia were unclear or it was poorly scouted before they moved servers there. Now we know with absolute certainty. File sharing is a BIG deal, and they want authority to detain you for downloading an episode of American Idol. This is why media cannot go all digital.
when stuff is worth buying then fair enought but so much stuff is rehashed, reboot's or endless sequels they wounder why no one buy there games or movie's so they blame it on online piracy . if these bill's passed it would hirt them way more then piracy ever would.
@marvelmania Holy shit. I just watched a video of it myself. That European bill could potentially desecrate it to hell, as if SOPA or PIPA weren't bad enough! It doesn't just clamp down on "criminals" and us poor saps, but it also applies to content makers as well.
@BlooditeDrakan ACTA is more than controlling the internet. it's about controlling EVERYTHING! It's controlling what you eat, what medicine you take, what you buy in general and the internet.
ACTA ensures that entrepreneurs, new ideas and business models will get squashed, so the big corporations won't have to worry about more competition. small businesses already get bullied by the lawyers of the big guys. Everyone is a criminal with ACTA in place.
" "Illegal counterfeiting and piracy costs the U.S. economy $100 billion and thousands of jobs every year" - CNN, where do they get these figures from?
