Re: SOPA is returning...God dammit...

What angers me the most is that this is an American law that affects every country. Who gave them the right to pass global laws without the consent of the people? And how come Americans are the only ones that can sign the bloody petition?!

If they try to pass a global law (which is bloody stupid, since they should have no say on laws from other countries), everyone should have a say on it.

My belief is that the US government is desperate to pass this bill and will resort to underhanded tactics to do so.

The bill itself is an example of what seems to be pointless paranoia and power-tripping. What, do they think terrorists are giving each other classified information over YouTube? I'm actually not worried at all about SOPA; it's so unpopular with literally everyone that it will never last long enough to become a problem. If they try to enforce it, they had better be ready for the chaos that will no doubt ensue.
Well since the U.S. government is composed of a bunch of whiny, desperate faggots, I wouldn't be surprised if they went as far as to do something illegal just to pass a law that they know damn well won't.

Last time they tried, EU voted against SOPA too.
The entire european union was against it i think, not to mention google was against it too.
What fun is there in making sense?
Now, if you will excuse me i have some chaos to wreak.

It also violates the Ex Post Facto law, which states no one can be punished for doing something before it was illegal. Say SOPA passes. In court, I could say "Yeah, sure, I uploaded videos portraying video games. It wasn't illegal then." If the judge and/or jury has any common sense, I'd get off without any consequence. But the way the government is now, they'd do anything to make sure SOPA stays in full effect. Offer the judge a promotion, bribe the jury, etc.

You don't say? It's not surprising, given that the entire world was against it.

Er, does it really matter? Yes, we understand you are American. Yes, Megaupload was shut down by the FBI. Yes, the FBI shut it down because of SOPA.

We should go discover an island in the Pacific. We'll make that our new country.

Edit: We should probably also make our own internet. Internet 2.0, we will call it!
