The media conglomerates? How would they NOT think it is a good idea. Of course they want dictatorial control over the internet, it is the only media they don't currently control.

They want all content that appears on the internet to be licensed and approved. That's how they have to do business, and they figure everyone else should too.

Even though Reddit isn't actually hosting the infringing content?

[–]BuzzBadpants 20 points21 points ago

It applies to sites that simply link to infringing content as well.

[–]nazaire 6 points7 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

*edit - I can't read.

You're right. Imgur would go down, and any of the other hundreds of sites we link to. Reddit is an aggregator, not a host; in the current legislation, however, as BuzzBadpants points out, would enact the same virtual embargo on reddit too, just for the links.

Piracy leader is Google who streams movies free, sells advts around them. No wonder pouring millions into lobbying.

Wait, this guy thinks Google is behind piracy?

Come on man, hear him out, he has proof:

Just been to google search for mission impossible. Wow, several sites offering free links. I rest my case.

He's sure shown us. Fuck GoDaddy, we should go for Google.

According to SOPA they are.. They link to pirate material thus aid piracy. Their links generate income for pirates

He also in another tweet said he searched for mission impossible and in the search results he was able to find links to free streams of the movie. This guy really doesn't understand how a search engine works does he? I think he may believe google is putting those results there on purpose or something... Link

In kind of a vague sense like "I should probably punch Rupert Murdoch in the face". Now its more like "I need to punch Rupert Murdoch in the face".

[–]CressCrowbits 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A news presenter is not allowed to show any preference towards a particular political party, although Murdoch's Sky News often pushes the boundaries of that.

There are other regulations controlling what people in the media can say, for example they aren't allowed to use swear words before 9pm, or use threatening language and suchlike. I'd imagine this is the case in most of the developed world.

[–]ragnarocknroll 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So he points out that Google has links to sites which infringe. So SOPA could TAKE DOWN ALL OF GOOGLE.

And he thinks this is a good thing? He mentions they are one of the big three for tech companies.

Hmmm. My idea to copyright a drawing of an Eagle and shut down ANY site with one if this becomes law is getting more tempting. Not like the law gives them anything but a lengthy and hilariously arduous process to try and get their sites back. Bet I can find one on all of his websites.

[–]ajleece 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's funny, because there are so many companies that use google's service package (gmail, googledocs, etc, ) that would get shut down.

[–]interkin3tic 2 points3 points ago

Why am I not surprised that that fucking parasitic asshole is in favor of SOPA?

And who the fuck follows Rupert Murdoch's twitter feed?

Honest to God, this country needs a revolution, but focusing on clearing out the real drivers of shit in government. Send them to North Korea.

it's always pathetic to hear old men for whom the television is the height of technological innovation try to describe the internet and why they need to legislate some aspect of it. just fuck off and go away, murdoch.

Fox News has hundreds of millions of followers. Granted most of them have no idea what a Twitter is, but in terms of numbers they dwarf us.

Since Fox News is only broadcasted in the United States, which have 308 million oh inhabitants, I find hard to believe it has hundreds of millions of followers. Apparently the number is 234,000.

I think SOPA might be a ploy to get everyone to use foreign internet like .co.uk or .de so that it is easier to censor. After all, you can censor information going in and out of America easier than you can censor information within America.
