It's going to remove entire websites if they even hint at piracy.


Including ROBLOX.

It's going to give power to the congress to remove sites that have any infrigements of copyrighted material. An example is like ROBLOX with their several cartoon obbies, all copyrighted by their respective owners.

omg dude roblox is like piracy central there are many Monster Energy shirts (like the one im wearing) not to mention game franchise shirts and band shirts like M.C.R that arent copy righted worth crap...
If the government passes SOPA and takes a look at all this copied crap then roblox wil likely be one of the first sites taken down!!!!
On a related note the new epic anti-SOPA google logo is epic!!!

"Don't worry, the site isn't actually blocked. But it could be in the future. Under PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), two bills being seriously considered in the United States, websites which contain or link to copyrighted material (even if posted by a user of the site) can be indefinitely blocked without trial or notice.

Usually when this happens it's the job of the offended party to have the content removed, as you've probably seen on YouTube many times. These two bills would instead allow the entire site to be blocked.

Without user content portals like NG and YouTube, the Internet becomes just another mainstream media outlet, instead of the wild proving ground of ideas that allows regular people like us to find a large audience."

-Explosm

tl;dr: bye to any copyrighted content, hello ad spam

Basically, what this means is, if the bill passes, everyone beter start copyrighting their crap RIGHT THEN or else...
BYEBYE ROBLOX!!!

Wait so if they're removing privacy, that would be breaking the law.


They'd need to give out your age, phone #, email, ect?


You shouldn't be giving information away!


This is dumb, i'd love to i'm not going to finish this.
