IMCDB soon to be Censored in America?
Published 20/01/2012 @ 18:56:39, By Leoz
Anyone who supports SOPA is an idiot. This thing will really fu*k up the web. There are so many videos, blogs and webpages out there that expose this stupid law for what it is and how hypocritical the supporters are of it. That kid in the news - Richard O'Dwyer lives just a few towns away from me. I know he's made a lot of money from his site (even though he has only linked to "illegal" video sites, which is what so many people do everyday - he hasn't actually uploaded any illegal video files), but the fact that he's been flown over to the US because he "broke US law" even though he lives in the UK??? That's messed up. I fully support Richard and his family on this one.
And these idiots who are in charge of the major corporations (money and power does not equal intelligence) who want to pass SOPA and PIPA are naive to think that they'll "end piracy". I'm not supporting piracy here, nor do I recommend it, but piracy has always been around in many forms, long before the net. But to regulate and "control" or even censor the entire net in order to stop it is just stupid. It will take a long time if actual piracy is ever going to be completely abolished and there are fine lines between what is "piracy" and what is not.
My thanks go to Antp for posting that simple, yet highly effective banner.

SOPA/PIPA are dead, but I guess now everyone is focusing on yet another internet breaking law (This time its International, and will soon be in the European Parliament) called ACTA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=citzRjwk-sQ

Dunno why my post was duplicated? A lot of people are saying "SOPA failed! hooray!" and all that, that's great but remember that the feds shut down Megaupload anyway. They still have the power to do that.

Well, there are many more differences about the food intake between the different countries, especially between Europe and America. O.k., not that much than between Asian countries and the rest of the world. Differences are noticeable even between the European people.

This clip reminds me of two German sayings, you do, when you see an absolute idiot:
"He doesn't belong to the brigade, which has invented the soup plate"
"He may deserve the award for 10 days of accident-free food intake"

"United States under the S.O.P.A. law should go to jail for using a name not belonging to it...or pay us the copyright."
I don't get your point, The first picture is the United States of America not simply AMERICA; which is a country on the continent of North America which itself is part of The Americas (the second picture) all of which were named after Amerigo Vespucci who was Italian. Furthermore the word America is not Copyrighted.
That's like saying the Republic of South Africa should pay a copyright to Africa...

Indeed, for most people in the world, "America" = USA.
I noticed in Argentina, people simply said America or Americans when referring to South America... sounded strange to me Here just "American" never means anything other than a USA resident.

indeed, I wasn't saying that we don't use the word to describe ourselves, I was just stating that it is not the Proper name of our country and that we didn't steal the name. We are named after the continent we are on (much like RSA)which in its self is named after an Italian explorer

My Canadian friends correct you, when you call them "Americans". The difference to be Canadian is important for them. When they say "Americans", even "America", they mean the USA and US-citizens.
