It would just be easier if we dispensed with all this legal bullshit and just allowed the BSA, RIAA or MPAA to kill anyone they wanted in their home if they even suspect them of piracy.
It would cut out all the tedious waiting around for the inevitable public backlash where parliament / congress etc get burned to the ground and various political figures wiped from the map.
I don't care either way, if SOPA passes I'm filing requests for takedowns to every single URL controlled by universal anyway....should be good for a few minutes fun
The ones that create will be silenced by the corporations who can just spam their hosting companies with SOPA takedown notices if they even LOOK like they might be about to raise hell over unpaid royalties.....
OK lets see if Ian lives by his own teachings shall we?
They stole various pentagram logos and 'satanic' images and various other bits from Metallica and other bands.
Hell, even the bands appearance on their own website is similiar to DOZENS of others that have gone before...
Hey Ian, thats strike ONE...no more internet for you!

>>Although it would be nice to think that only "repressive" governments would even think of doing such a thing, recent proposals by politicians in the US and Europe regarding blocking sites and spying on users indicate how naïve that would be.
Sadly, the UK and the US ARE repressive governments, they just hide it (like Russia) under a thin veil of democracy.
No matter WHO you vote for, they were bought and paid for a long time before the election date was even set.
That includes the US president and David 'no really this £200 million in my personal bank accounts appeared when I threw a coin into a wishing well' Cameron...
Ever noticed how every single damn movie sequel is just rehashing the same tired old crap over and over?
Thats how creative america's system works.
You "send" (or have sent without your knowledge) a letter.
They then count that letter as the original, the sequel, another sequel, a special edition version, a reboot, a gritty reboot, a grittier reboot, a special edition uncut version of the letter, a version of the letter with a directors commentary and hey presto! 4000 letters becomes 100,000
See Mike? they did absolutely nothing wrong...just standard hollywood accounting.
Every single person who doesn't sign disney's petition is a lost sale (not sure how but I'll get the lawyers right on it) and should give Disney $1250.00 for each petition they didn't sign...................................
So they're going to cut off funding for DVD systems? that includes manufacture of players AND original discs.
Because an Original DVD can be used to burn multiple copies of a movie (and a DVD player can be used to playback such movies or heavens-forbid to play an original disc to a large number of people), therefore under e-parasite its an item that 'aids' infringement.
Far safer to just have a movie shown ONCE in theatres and then locked away safely (in a safe) forever........
Real Networks is just prepping itself for bankruptcy.
Paperwork is in place
Seeking protection from Creditors: CHECK

In a small way it's nice they warned people to convert files now before everything is turned off, since once real networks is in administration its too late.
How when any government tries to pass nasty vicious legislation designed to hurt the public and only enrich themselves and their friends (and screw the public we can get rich before the next election) there's always a massive section of the public thats up for it?
Its weird, but there are vast numbers of people who WANT the government to hurt them just to give them something to moan about.

The same thing is going to happen with SOPA if it passes:
I took down sony.com FIRST!!!!!
I took down universalmusic.com FIRST!!!!
etc...etc
The US will become a laughing stock as people looking for cheap lulz take down corporate site after corporate site until eventually we reach:
I took down microsoft.com FIRST!!!!!
(and break windows update / security patching)

Re: Anthrax has been years behind Metallica forever.
The band anthrax tanked DECADES ago and can only be found now typically in bargain-bins at wal-mart etc.
He's hoping a little controversy can't hurt since sales can't go DOWN from zero....they can only go up.
