    Yeah, after he said that he would veto it.

    I agree that piracy is not the target of this legislation. It's intended to limit people's free speach.


    Just because I'm telling you this story doesn't mean that I'm alive at the end of it.

    Perhaps you missed the subtitle. Grooby has been involved in lawsuits suing the fans. I'd like to get Seanchai's response to this.

    True, but this is only political in the sense that politicians ( on both sides) are keeping this mysteriously quiet..... And where is our eyes and ears? ( once known as the press) Bella is correct on this...I read about this several weeks ago, and thought........this can't be accurate because no one is talking about it.

    I signed the petition, just like the guy in the vid said, if one person posts something with copyright on any site, that site goes to the ground with that bill. Its not anti-piracy, its about taking power on the internet.

    ^ Also, this. Nobody's going to see it over there. I thought that was obvious enough that it need not be said.

    Apparently, nobody cares though. But they'll care when it passes, believe me.

    Well the problem is the low standard of evidence. It only takes an accusation to bring down a site...

    ... this one included. Are you people paying attention yet?!
