That's right, SOPA is back and worse than ever. Not to mention this time it affect fan boards like this one directly. This time it's trying to make streaming copyrighted material a felony. Do you know what that means? It means you can be charged and even do jail time for -Making fanart -Covering a song -If there's a song on on the background of a video, it still counts -Writing fanfiction There's a petition to stop it from happening, and it still needs 40,000 signatures so please sign it. I'm counting on you, guys, we need to stop this greed and hatred in its tracks here and now! petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-sopa-2013/LMzMVrQFSince we're on that topic, do you think these decrepit @$$holes will ever give up?

Nope. I don't think they will.
I'm seriously half tempted to have people make fanart of my own original works in protest of the bill: seeing as this appears to also directly override the wishes and opinions of original artists, though, after all, I am not too sure about this.

Since we're on that topic, do you think these decrepit @$$holes will ever give up? Have the Republicans given up on repealing Obamacare? Look, on some level I think the guys pushing this know it's not gonna pass, but they need to keep making the effort so that their friends in the entertainment industry keep giving them money. It's all part of the game.

It's all part of the game. Always has something to do with money. On another level though, I hear Obama is behind the resurrection of this bill as well (not confirmed, but I read it in one article I believe). Knowing how he pushed Obamacare through, and of course, how he's been likewise trying to push gun control through, I don't think he'll rest on this one quite as easily either.

Not another long read I have to do. I have to read all those pages to see what is wrong with it. Something paid professionals and people are voted for skimp over. Did they realize that those big companies can get sued as well? They already have by Nyan Cat and Piano Kitten. I have it printed it somewhere because I heard they use to be called other names. The so called reason is that they want any money or fame diverted by people making money without their permission. We were told that con artist that giving their stuff a bad name. However reading it seems like it can be use against people expose the flaws from their work. Someone point out attention to find it easy to find the good part. There is also a chance that it may have something they are trying to hide. There is a chance that all the stuff from artist will belong to companies that make us no longer see it which we will forget. The reason we don’t not watch it because we feel it is not worth it. That information will be forgotten and it will lucky if someone can find before it erase from existence. It can be worst what repeat it the same cycle because we don’t learn why it keeps following it. We laugh at it before because it was so ridiculous claim that is too sloppy and too easily to manipulate but we now know that they actually trying to it. We don’t want another nice thing we can’t have. We have plenty of those that someone ruined.

This will have an effect on entertainment as well including lets plays

I never did finish the statement I was mean to show. Viacom got us in a no win scenario and even if there is it will be a hallow one. As Jeepers Media shown Viacom are submitting their stuff as pirated in order to stage evidence that their stuff is being stolen. This means if we buy their stuff we encouraging them if it pirate viewed in any way unofficially they have alibi for their methods proving their case. This means this series may be one of the things that gets lost in time. If you have DVD or have download mlaatr legally or illegally or any method of obtaining it. Do not tell me or show it. Just keep it safe until the worst is over. Like or hate it sad thing for this to be lost never found. It reminds me gameoverthinker episode who would be remembered.
