wingwinder Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 had to white out swearing and things most people here wouldn't understand Basically, the Government wants to pass a bill to stop any sort of freeware, or anything that is made by someone else that you don't buy. They are claiming that it is to stop piracy, which it is, but they are going to far. So, let me talk about things that you would have to pay for or it would be illegal to download.OperaChrome (possibly)Firefox almost all distros of LinuxMegaupload.com would be illegal if there is a free version. I, for one, will not standby while the government outlaws freeware "just in case." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiriyama Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Gee, thanks for treating us like idiots and blanking out parts you thought we wouldn't understand. Come to think of it, I don't understand what the hell it is about due to a lack of information. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Basically the Senates are voting weather we should have the internet filtered. IF is passes, forgot free downloads, you cant post certain things, Youtube will be blocked in certain countries (already is) and the internet speed will drop due to the force (no pun intended) of the Filter trying to well...filter it all. For Aussies and other countries with bad internet, you can also kiss online gaming goodbye. (or say hello to 999 Ping) @Sworddude, Google it. It isn't that terribly difficult to find out information yourself. <_< Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maze Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Wow, is this real? If this passes, this is going to suck BIG TIME. Government doesn't need to waste their time trying to "save" the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortilliachp Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Something tells me that this would be impossible if it happened. The internet is too huge and adaptable. china has its great firewall, many european countries have their child pornography filters. only small adaptations would be neccessary.

Barihawk Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I think this has the same chance of happening as the "complete ban on all CO(2) emmissions my propery manager tells me about when I deliver my check. It's not going to happen. It's some congressman flexing his political muscle for some e-peen. The United States in generally is for net neutrality and free exchange as long as it doesn't violate laws. Firefox, Opera, and Chrome are all unique projects based on open licensure and distributed for free by the will of their creators. They can not be sold legally, ever. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youmu Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 IMO the government shouldn't even care what people do on the internet these days. Why watch us here in the first place, when those officials have much better things that they should be taken care of? And at least in China, they don't care about piracy. :thumbup: Oh and a (good) solution for blocking: proxy/VPN servers.

Governments care what we do because they're afraid of us.Actually, for me, they don't slow me down, they speed me up! So, no, not always true. You know, if I were to conquer the world, everything would stay exactly the same, except censorship (internet, and in general). That has to go. We have to teach our youth about the REAL world, not the "fake" one as of now.

dsavi Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was thinking of posting this, I've been following this for a while and it's gotten more and more scary. That about the EU is not true, however. They voted on it. This says it all. I'm glad I live in the EU. But I would like people to understand: This is not some /b/tard's idea of a joke, this is actually in the process of happening in the US and possibly other countries with internet freedom problems. It's good that /b/ is taking action on this, and I knew that they would, because they have a lot of influence and this is a good use of it.
