Comments on: US “Six Strikes” Anti-Piracy Scheme Delayed https://torrentfreak.com/us-six-strikes-anti-piracy-scheme-delayed-120518/ Breaking File-sharing, Copyright and Privacy News Wed, 29 Oct 2014 19:19:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.2 By: Mircea Kitsune /us-six-strikes-anti-piracy-scheme-delayed-120518/#comment-941794 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:26:00 +0000 http://torrentfreak.com/?p=51191#comment-941794 Important: I again received some shocking news from EFF by email (they’re a serious source of information) about a potential revive of the actual SOPA / PIPA.

It appears Hollywood is trying to shut down all cloud websites. Basically, it wishes to take down Youtube, Google Drive, and all cloud services out there, the same way Megaupload was removed. The article mentions them trying to circumvent congress so they can force their law through without a vote. What this means is most major websites which allow file storage would be gone… and we are back at SOPA as we know it.

This comes just a few days after I heard about the ISP initiative and an update on CISPA. Jesus Christ… has the world gone completely mad? Are those groups desperate beyond limit to shut down this internet? They now want sites like Youtube to disappear forever… who almost entirely addressed the issue of copyright material being uploaded. Is this even about copyright any more, or is that just a pretext?

Yeah, I agree… this is an outright war with the entertainment industry at this point. I don’t feel like fueling the fire here so people can jump to their own conclusion… I just found the article and linked it. There will probably be more information soon, and if that’s true likely another blackout. Feel free to re-post this post anywhere without asking.

CISPA is going to expire soon and will be voted in the senate… probably secretly and under the desk like we’ve been used to seeing (so no date is known). Everyone who is against it is strongly advised to call their senators ASAP and firmly ask them to vote against it! I don’t have a link but you should be able to find their phone numbers on google and older SOPA / CISPA articles… I’m too tired and outright sick of the whole thing to look them up myself. I consider this even more dangerous than the ISP initiative, and by all means hope this law won’t happen either :( As usual, please spread the word and re-post wherever you can so everyone knows. We need to show the senators those who oppose it are large in number, since as with SOPA they will not be able to vote on a law that everyone is visibly against. The house already passed it, so this is even more urgent for that reason.

Spying and harassing people over the internet will ever be user friendly?! Those ISP’s should consider themselves lucky we didn’t break their door down for such a slap in the face and invasion of privacy! No, this must not EVER happen… and now we have a chance to react and tell them we’ll never tolerate such things.

Yes, I can understand some legit people suffer due to piracy, and alternatives might be needed. But attacking / censoring the internet or users will NEVER be tolerated. I’m just waiting for a riot, based on this and other things happening recently… because they are asking for a catastrophe very very badly. Neither America nor Europe will become dictatorships under our eyes, as eager and convinced as those dirty corporations are!

Note that this isn’t specifically to defend piracy. It’s to defend my right to use the internet as I have for more a dozen years. If people can be harassed in such a way for a suspicion of piracy or anything (even actually downloading a song or movie), it will affect us all. Leave us alone, we’re all at the end of our patience, and that’s not a joke!!

one other thing that can generate those kind of figures in the same
timeframe? I can’t think of one…  hollywood doesn’t lose money and
with billions off a single film that equates to a lot of lobby money to
ensure they make billions more. Those morons don’t seem to realize that
if they make a good product people pay to see it. Piracy has 0 effect on
their sales it is a phantom loss.

I want to quit my provider (AT&T) for even agreeing to participate in this! It’s such a violation, whether I were I pirate or not. But, I have no idea how to get internet otherwise :/
