p99/red99 slated to get shut down when SOPA passes

[Cyclone]

Technically it effects the whole internet, not just America. The way it works is if this bill passes (Which I highly doubt because of the outrage involved) then America can shut down any site they choose and deem "against the law".

It effects everyone, and I hate to say it, but American Congress/House is acting like they "own" the internet, when in reality it has spread much farther than that, and cannot fathom how even a bill would be allowed to pass, as this will effect not just America, but the whole worlds net.

I do not see how you can say "this does not effect me" when it does, it effects everyone. Good Example, EQ-emu, as it stands right now we are fully legal, but now you introduce this vague bill, it passes, now any and all companies can say no, I want that shut down, instant shut down, no court, no nothing, instantly gone.

Another example, You decide to make a fan based web page about Everquest, suddenly one day you log into that page and its gone, poof, because someone complained that you were using a trademark. No requirement to notify you, no nothing, its gone. Exaggeration I know, but when and were will the "control" end? This is not just about pirated software, nor about making any type of profit, its plain overlord control of the internet by the one country that claims to have freedom, USA.

Every day I live in the country I wonder what new "law" will come in effect that will change what everyone does, just because this country decides its wrong, or your cutting in my profit margin and I want to have you shot scenario. Do not get me wrong but I enjoy living in this country but in all reality if America can pass and enforce a bill to control the entire world net, I would be afraid of what the USA can do next.[You must be logged in to view images.
