TheStarFoxMaster64 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 If you're in the United States, you should fight this bill: http://act.demandprogress.org/letter/ten_strikes?akid=700.450896.5hVZPC&rd=1&t=1 Just fill out the basic credentials.

Nope. Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 What the hell? I'm speechless. Not only a lot of good shit and stuff is going down if this thing passes, but it's going to be even worse than the past "dark age". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Why are there so many idiots in charge of our governments? I can't trust anybody in charge anymore. They're gonna bring down the whole economy on themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well there it goes 90% of the good stuff from youtube. Yeah, stupidity. The internet is huge and people will get around the law if they enforce it. Inb4 we get a site for streaming that comes from the pirate bay or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Orange Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 AMERICA....WHY Why does America care about video game to this extent. There are other problems to face than Video Game Video's and Stream. No Video's of Video Game's = No game reviews, No opinions of the games, It's just Wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 It only applies to the US,right? so other sites that don't come from the states can still stream stuff, hopefully canada won't be a bitch about it or any other close by english speaking countries.

Dr. Orange Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Why must america respond to something they DON'T UNDERSTAND. I highly doubt the Senators a Capital Hill surf COD or Uncharted Game-play on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Orange Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 You forgot "No video game industry period". America would end up undermining the world's economy. Dang, that's not good. So From this bill: Youtube will be about 75% Crappier. Half of the Youtube users would be probability fined for all the Videos of video games, movies, T.V shows etc. Come to think of it, What about this website!?!?!

ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 ^ Another reason for us to fight this. Those of you here at SF-O who are American, take this to congress and stop this idiocy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nope. Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 No one will be fined if the videos are uploaded BEFORE this thing passes. Still... Come to think of it, What about this website!?!?! Yeah, that's what I thought after a bit. What is going to happen to all the gaming websites/forums? The problem is that this crap is so badly handled and so damn generic that it's basically open to any kind of interpration... Basically, if you record your cute little daughter singing a copyrighted song and upload it on YouTube, you're going to be fined or put in jail. So yeah, they will totally obliterate the goddamn Internet to hell without even realizing what kind of massive damage they're going to inflict to basically EVERYTHING. Not only Internet-based stuff. Welcome back, Dark Ages. EDIT: Oh also, this shit goes against "fair use". On a lighter note: If this thing passes, I'm going to build a giant nuclear rocket launcher and take over the world. Woah, I said "basically" three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 No, giant nuclear rocket and world domination not necessary. Hunting down Jack Thompson and bifurcating him however... Seriously though, we must unite and fight this bullshit. We're sick and tired of these idiotic copyright policies ruining peoples' lives. We weren't silenced when piracy was applied to us in the early 2000s, and we won't be silenced now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Orange Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I would say the likelihood in this bill passing is VERY VERY slim. Yet still we should stand and fight it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Perhaps it's time we gathered up supporters from around the world and take it straight to Washington. We'll overwhelm them into dropping the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I live in the UK, so I probley wouldn't have to worry. Even so, I doubt such a law would be enforced simply because there is so much stuff out there. I remember when Vimeo brought out a no gameplay rule. Note no one uses vimeo any more except for animators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xortberg Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 As I said in the shoutbox, calm down people. I doubt this will pass in the first place, and if it does I doubt it will last very long. Also, if it gets passed, I seriously doubt it'll be "ZOMG BLANKET BAN ALL OF IT! NONE SHALL PASS!" There'll be concessions. I'm sure media sites will be allowed to post stuff, and reviewers'll still be able to claim fair use or some such shit. E3 coverage will still happen, I'm sure. You're all freaking out disproportionally to what's going down, considering this bill hasn't even been passed and you're acting like the end of the world.

Icy Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 This is absolute bullshit. That's all I have to say… But it probably will take quite a while for them to decide on this. And even then it may not pass. I actually seriously doubt it will pass. But then again, the US government is so screwed up these days that I wouldn't put it past them.
