Signed and posted to facebook. Lots of people read what I have to say thankfully so it should generate some buzz.

To the people who say "HOLLYWOOD" is funding this... Man it just irks the living S H I T out of me when people assume. PLEASE dont assume or be a headline voter, but try a few keystrokes.

http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/billsum.php?id=129763

Also try to find info on the campaign contributions to supporters of this bill, SOPA, and the others like it.
You'll notice how a sizable chunk comes from the entertainment industry.
I remember seeing this info on the supporters of SOPA when it was the issue.
Edit:
Just checked in on some of them now, and am surprised.
Looks to be a bit different group on this bill, which just raises further questions...

Anyway they going to keep at it until they pass something, which they will.
It will be small at first, but it will be the doorway.

I find it funny that people are talking about it on Facebook since Facebook supports the bill.

These guys are pretty stupid to be honest.

All they had to do was attach it to a bill that had to do with child pornography and say that it would help stop child pornography.

This thread wouldn't even exist, with people being too scared to be called pedophiles to be against it.

Just because Facebook supports it doesn't mean the people who use Facebook support it. Facebook, silly or not, is a great way to spread information quickly. I have to admit though, I'm a bit disappointed that Facebook would support this. :/ Not cool!

It's just the fact that the people made Facebook what it is today.

I'm kinda confused at the sign page. I've noticed that many many people not from the US have been signing the petition as well... Whatsup with that?

Let's put it this way: if the US government could track and shut down MegaUpload in New Zealand, they could get in on piracy from other countries too.

Its a global petition not just a US one because the law would allow them to pull info about people even if they are not US citizens I think.

NVM Your totally right, i don't know what I was thinking lol. It is the world wide web. Lol that's so going to get turned down. US Support was more then enough to get this halted.

Not signed, all you modern pirates should be ashamed

Hollywood and the politicians should be ashamed.

Copyright law has been far bastardized from it's original intent and purpose and needs cut back to it's origins.

*** hollywood.

greed always wants more, so even if people give into this whole internet pirates thing Hollywood is trying to push off. They will only find more things to complain about so they can get more $$$

I find it sad and sorta funny almost every new movie that comes out there is some side noted "don't steal stuff by downloading it" line said by an actor or actress.

Hollywood is partially telling the truth, they are losing money, but it's because of their lack of innovation and it's their own fault.

They had copyright laws increased to choke innovation and free trade of ideas, they are using an old business model and they can't changes because they caused it to themselves so now they are trying to kill their opposing entertainment industries, mainly the internet.

They're whiny little ***, they *** themselves over and instead of admitting it and giving up on this entire anti-piracy thing, they are continuing to go down this route and it will only lead to their destruction, unfortunately they're trying to take others with them.

The only problem is most are too uneducated or too reasonable to care. Most won't give up going to the movies/buying them to make them change, I'm doing my part, and it sucks too cuz The Avengers looks *** awesome.

No kidding! End corruption in the government and big business? Fix the economy? Work a bit on our foreign relations, maybe? Naaaah, let's spy on our own folks through the internet instead. Sounds great, chaps. ._.

Less signing petitions, more contacting your congressional representatives directly.

Still think this is a load of codswallop to distract us from the presidential race, the economy (US and globally), etc...

Seems like the most appropriate place to put it..

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/know-hack-video-game-console-u-navy-wants-163419621.html

Quote:
For players just looking to have a good time when gaming online, hackers are a major nuisance. But regardless of how frustrating playing against someone with an unfair advantage can be, the practice of game console hacking has apparently caught the eye of the United States military. It seems the U.S. Navy is looking for a few good hackers to create both hardware and virtual modifications that will allow officials to monitor the messaging functions of specific game consoles — and they're prepared to pay over $150,000 for the final product.

Officials wants to be able to keep tabs on live communications between a person using a modified console and whoever it is they are chatting with. They also want to be able to glean data from a used game console and obtain useful information about the prior owner's communications with other gamers.

An aptly-named firm called Obscure Technologies was awarded the first contract in the Navy's bid for game console clairvoyance, but their mission is more about national security than domestic snooping: it turns out terrorists like video games too. If military intelligence officers can snag actionable information from messages sent over online game networks like PSN and Xbox Live, the world could declare "Game Over" on a terrorist act before it ever occurs.
