I'm sorry CR, but the government is trying to send me away.
They will try and silence me, and I will refuse.
If it happens, I'll have to leave without saying goodbye.
So I'll just say it now...
I love you guys.

And this is why I live in the UK.

I live everywhere and nowhere, usually as Kumori. My YouTube is 'WoodULikeSumCatFood', shamelessly ripped from a friend of mine.

huh i dont get it, why would it be aimed agaisnt you in particular?
from what ive heard it just gives companies the right to ban wahtever websites they want, if the sites have copyright infringing material on them(read: any website they don't like)
and to make sure that those disgusting,sick criminals,who sing popular songs and post it on youtube, go to prison, where they like, totally, belong (think I already mentioned that earlier that it is a crime)
...but don't worry it wont pass

It's not aimed at DoMaya in particular. How would that be worthy of passing a BLASTED LAW?

The ammount of opposition to it keeps growing though (the petition Demand Progress has submitted to congress is over 700,000 signatures).
It is a pretty biased fight though. They won't let opponents from the outside in the debate.
May the companies and politicians who support it burn in hell.

I wouldn't worry too much though, Obama has publicly said that if this bill makes it to his front desk, he's vetoing the hell out of it.

It's a shame they can't think of a way to tackle game piracy without such drastic measures as I can understand why it'd be appealing to game developers because of that.

That's because they don't want people to know about it. The corporations supporting the bill also control most of the media outlets (CBS, CNN, etc). They pulled the same stunt with the ACTA bill earlier this year. Even Microsoft is now opposed to the bill.
Here's a video and a story:

Demand Progress has a Facebook page where they post updates, stories, and videos:

If it comes down to it, I say full nationwide boycotts of the companies supporting the bill should happen. Make the bastards bleed red ink.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-PARASITE
Here is a white house.gov petition to stop this:
https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#! ... t/SWBYXX55
White House Petition to stop Protect Ip Act (Goes with E-Parasite, does alot of the same stuff):
https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/! ... 8/4ykggyDq
Of course, this is being funded by alot of corporations who don't give a crap aobut personal freedoms but like to Q.Q when people point out their greediness. While true the bill is INTENDED to target pirate sites and people who upload copyrighted material to You Tube we know this will be abused should it become law.
We need to send them and Washington a message this bill will do more harm than good.

So yeah, it's bad but not "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU" bad. Close to it, though.
