Considering how many games come from the US I wouldn't say that. Not to mention that even though it doesn't affect you it's still very very wrong.

Because no one and no country is an island. Tons of indie games come and are established here. Minecraft could just as easily be never started as it was too much like LEGO. There's such vague and sweeping literature in the bills that new websites and ideas just won't come out in America.
Not to even mention the -news- that we will likely never see if this gets out. With the wording of the bill, even if there's a comment linking to copyrighted material, the whole thing can be taken down. Article about civil war someplace? Make a bogus comment linking to 'inspirational music', and watch them block the article. I'm not saying it -will- happen. I'm saying it could. It's wrong, and with current wording, a trodding upon civil rights that will ripple across the WORLD wide web.

You obviously don't know anything about SOPA.

I hope you don't rely on anything by Google for anything, because your Gmail and YouTube account could disappear suddenly if anyone uploaded anything a copyright holder (read: RIAA/MPAA) thought violated their copyright and demanded a SOPA takedown of the entire site. Or even if someone pasted a link into a youtube comment on where you could pirate a movie on a video page for the trailer for that movie, as SOPA is written, YouTube could be taken down.

On the first complaint.

http://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/466-SOPA-Survivalist.html < Read this. Look at how much of the internet could be taken down by a single targeted complaint. And the person complaining doesn't have to be the copyright holder and gets immunity from any legal action for false claims as long as they have enough evidence for a credible claim.

such a russian. "I don't give a fcuk cuz it does not regard me".

Are you still in lower school?

"Ah, who cares about the oil crisis, I ride a bike!"

"Who cares about rising sea levels, I live in the middle of Europe!"

"Who cares about SOPA, it's not like the vast majority of major sites are hosted in the US!"

Don't be a moron. Look something up before opening your mouth. And even if it did only affect the US, well, guess what? I think the US would care. As would anyone with a friend or family member living over there.

Because people live in the US. That, and it's not just going to affect the US, that's a rather acute way of thinking. It will have a widespread affect on the entire world, no doubt.

It affects everyone if you break their rules. I'm from Europe and if I publish a video on YouTube that has a song from Bioshock, my account will be removed any any site that had the video on will be destroyed...

Yea it only effects the US what are you guys worried about? It's not like the bill is giving the US government the power to shut down websites at the core top level domains which include ever single website with a .com/.net/.org and more which the US controls on the most basic level.... Oh wait that's exactly what the bill does. Hey no worries first it's not like anyone outside of the US ever visits a .com. Second every time the US government gets a blank check to do what it wants when it wants without the slightest oversight it always works out so well for the rest of the world this could only bring a star trek like peace and prosperity.

Well, somebody took my words too serious, but you are overreacting as well, do not expect major websites to suddenly go down, that's not gonna happen. Of course US citizens would get a bit less lucky, but the rest of the internet is safe.

" Under SOPA, individuals and corporations could send
a notice to a site’s payment partners, requiring those partners to cut the site
off – even if the site could never be held liable for infringement in a U.S. court."

People from NZ has been arrested at the request of US officials.

I do, because there are countries (like mine) that tend to believe that american means better and blindly following their steps. US got SOPA and PIPA, Europe got ACTA. If US won't pass those acts then maybe (just hoping) Europe will decide not to pass ACTA (as before - following those "who know better").
And just to say, I'm one of those people who had no idea about existence of ACTA (since today!) but still was trying to help in the fight against US acts because it strikes our freedom (do you have any friends who are US residents? it would affect your freedom of sharing stuff with them - like sending links to sites blocked in US because of those bills)

As well as the rest of the world. Maybe it won't affect your neck of the woods at first, but if it's successful in the USA, one of the biggest countries in the world, who is to say other the law-making bodies of other countries, such as yours, won't try it?

It's people like you that will help make these bills law and screw things up for everyone else.

LOL

Also get A POS

Translate it into Spanish, and you get "Soup." Just thought everybody should know.

you use SOAP to your body, and you fuck SOPA to death

LOL'D PRETTY HARD

yup, and they'll pass it because they're SOPA king stupid

No it's not

It's up for discussion in early february. "Shelving" something is an almost ancient strategy to make someone feel safe.

It's back alive, and even if it were dead PIPA is alive and well and very much on it's way to being passed. And PIPA is pretty much SOPA under a different name.
