Seeing as NGU is involved in this movement (like me), I wanted to make sure that everybody understood what this "censorship" thing is al about.


~~Updating everytime i get more news~~


What is SOPA? Why is it important?

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) has been proposed by the US government in october 2011, its objective is to help fight copyright infragment material. (**Basically you wont be able to download your favorite movies,tv shows, music, FACEBOOk,TWITTER,etc) You might bbe worndering why would facebook,twitter, any website to stream online movies etc be blocked. Its simple, if SOPA gets approved it would have a very hard time to control these websites from spreading the copyright material so they will ahve to be shut down.SOmething i want to make very clear is that not only will it stop the copyright infragment but it will also stop freedom of speech For example, lets say that a reporter uploads important news to youtube it will be blocked, or even worse if he writes his news in a blog and links it youtube or a website that SOPA doesnt approved that website will be blocked as well.

Whats bad about illegal downloads being stopped?
Im not going to take sides here, this is personal opinion. I believe that every author deserves money for their hard work. But also there is people that simply dont have the access to certain programs other people have. SO the only way they can get them is by downloading them illegally.



:lol: Im not in america WHY SHOULD I CARE?

It will affect you not directly exactly. However most sites have an american DOMAIN that will still stop you froma ccesing it even tho you are not in america.

"HA! I will just use VPN :mask:
Sorry to break it to you, but what gets blocked is the website so using VPN wont make a difference :cry:

:wtf::wtf::wtf:How can i acces them if this does happen? HOW CAN I STOP IT?:wtf::wtf::wtf:
The only way that occurs to me (please share if you have any other ideas) is by ip adress.

How can you stop it. The only real way is by supporting all the people against it
Two websites that help prevent this awful law from beign approved

The Internet fought back to protect the Internet — and we won, for now. We have to assemble our Internet army for next year, when this bill will come up again.

I have noticed that a few websites plan to black out on the 18th of January (in protest). People are really trying to get some bigger websites involved such as Facebook and GOOGLE but I doubt they will.

You should add to this thread a bit on the huge websites who are planning blackouts to stop SOPA. If they do a blackout it will not pass.
