If SOPA is passed, this video will be illegal.

Now, let's try to shut down acta. Write your congressmen and sign the petition.

@Freqhopper00 this is not true, I would never pay to see many of the movies I see online, they are not good enough, then I'll wait for it to be free or skip it. experiment: one booth gives away stuff and some other sell stuff, you really think they would be able to get rid of the same amount of stuff, BS.

@Freqhopper00 it is not theft. When you read a book at the library, you did not steal the info. But if you read the book online it is theft. download and test and then buy if it is good. watch something when you want, not when some executive wants. Is making a copy of the monalisa the same as taking the monalisa. lol

People without piracy is an angel without its wings. We thrive through piracy. Corruption/piracy connotate an unhealthy society, but in fact they are today central to our liberties, just like racism was several hundred years ago.

I would agree that it is unethical to make money off of 'pirated' things. ie selling dvds of downloaded movies. Cheer up bro, sopa is dead, but the 6 media companies that control everything you see and hear will keep on making trillions of dollars for a long time to come. To me this whole thing is not even really about file sharing, its about control. They want to control the internet the same way they control radio, television and print. The question is should we allow them to.

[Freqhopper00]

@loren1283 They have a right to the revenue from the product, the product that you 'share', you're bypassing the essential part of the transaction. If you help yourself to something just because you can, it's still theft. Calling theft sharing doesn't cut it. I'm sure you'd be made up if someone came into your bait shop and 'shared' your bait with none paying customers. Are you getting it yet? They DO have a right to all that money you haven't spent on their products, that you have consumed.

[loren1283]

The prospective revenue argument is false, there is no way for you or anyone else to know how I would spend my money without access to shared media. I think I would spend more time fishing instead of watching movies, in that case it actually takes prospective revenue away from my bait shop. Your arguement is only true if you accept the premise that they have a right to all the money you dont spend on thier products. Peace.

[Freqhopper00]

@loren1283 The revenue is lost. What aren't you getting? It's not hard.. Listen if you copy a file you are taking away prospective revenue. Get it?

[Freqhopper00]

@slickbtk If you copy the file, you are taking away prospective revenue.. it's not rocket science.

The 70 page bill is thorough in its definitions. Words like "domestic" and "primarily designed for" imply what the intent of the law is. Judges aren't insane, contrary to what you might think.

To say that congress would draft a bill that would result in the internet getting destroyed, is ridiculous.
