Protect IP Bill (E-Parasite)...is our Government getting more & more stupid?

[Chenix]

You mean the thing thousands of people want them to pay attention too right now? Yeah those assholes.

Yup, I would say they're not that stupid, but they have already proven that.

Help is on it's way:

I think the fact that several senators,including Senator Pelosi,aren`t behind it anymore should prove as a sign that this bill is down for the count...

It`s like I said,I understand the concerns with piracy.But I do not consider somebody putting up a movie from twenty years ago on Youtube to be a crime...particularly if it has no shot of ever being released on DVD and no one really has any claim of ownership of it.

Just as they said earlier, instead of worrying about the massive debt, how where gonna pay it off, the unemployment rate, and many issues, there worried about the internet. :nooo:

Because Congress & the U.S. Government are ran by idiots with lower IQ's, that's why.

I love your posts. They are so witty and true.

If those game companies support it, **** them . I'm not buying a dime from their asses anymore. Not like Nintendo or Sony have anything remarkably good or unique that i can get from Microsoft or Apple for that manner.

Pretty funny who the ones supporting this have played their own hand already and have nothing in stake compared to the smartphone market. Hopefully they will perish and or be crippled heavily by their competitors.

Piracy isn't even a problem really except for the creative productions which are killed save for the "safer bets". However, piracy isn't really killing the companies since they keep on making loads of money... or do they?

Hollywood loses 30% of their profits to theaters in the States , then wastes money on hiring big actors, big effects and of course millions on promotion . Piracy only hurts the small guys really.

I don't understand how most of these companies unrelated to anything on the internet are even supporting it. What am I gonna do, bootleg shoes and clothes via a 3D Printer?

These people are really out of touch with reality as most of these companies won't gain a thing from it that will benefit them in any direct way other than cripple the economy and shoot themselves theoretically in the head so to speak.

Then again, how could they hide the animal cruelty and the abuse of their slave workers in 3rd countries who make their stuff?
