SOPA - Rommie - 12-18-2011
So high-profile sites like Twitter and Facebook, and Youtube are going to try and do something about this, right?
And what can I, from my desk in a Eastern European country do about this?

Original video is fine with a European geoip. Perhaps the problem is in your DNS? :)
Yeah, that's pretty weak.

inb4 internet censorship China.

Short version, any website containing copyright material can be blocked and taken down.
Current situation: Someone on youtube uploads copyrighted song - Universal files a complaint - Youtube removes it
Situation if this gets through: Website contains a copyrighted song - Universal files a complaint to USA goverment - site gets DNSed if based in America, taken down completely.

I hope that People will protest about this before the Decision. So far this has totally been ignored by German Medias.

' Wrote:I read on the escapist how Switzerland responded to this.Piracy is not legal in Switzerland, only the Download for personal use is allowed. That means, torrenting is illegal. Why? If you torrent a Movie or Lady Gaga's new Album you share/upload while downloading.
They legalized Piracy in their country.

The stupid thing is that it doesn't matter if this gets rejected they will just re-word it and try again.
This isen't the first time they've tried this crap and it sure as hell won't be the last.
