SOPA is one the worst ideas I've ever seen. Plain and simple.

By the way, this could affect McLeodGaming directly- the site could easily be blocked because someone could easily claim infringement on Nintendo due to SSF2... Even if you're not a fan (and I know most of you aren't), the entire site could be blocked, even the forums.

Go act like a moron somewhere else.

I think SOPA is a great thing, simply because it will be shot, flayed alive, beheaded, sliced into a bloody heap, and mailed to its parents, and then maybe people will learn never to try anything like this again.

Nyoro~n

Calling people morons for having a belief in the left wing is great, bro

Actually I called you a moron for making a stupid generalization about the entire right wing, but this is off-topic.

Trying to get him to implement the sopa blackout thing. You should harass him about it too.

Even with all of the protests, this is still a battle that I seriously doubt we're going to win...

^I doubt Congress would make the incredibly stupid decision to to pass a bill that allowed children, single mothers, and teenagers to be put in jail by playing a MP3 song on Youtube.

Sopa. Hm.

I don't honestly think it will ever pass. If my opinion changes on that for whatever reason, I'm going to pirate everything I possibly can before it takes effect.

Funny, trying to stop piracy has done a decent job of spreading it

It looks as if MG isn't participating in the protest. Oh well.

Congress has much more important things to decide on.

Like if tomato paste is a vegetable.

I honestly don't think it will pass because this just limits our rights guaranteed by the 1st amendment.

Plus, a lot of websites are protesting against it. I don't think this will affect MG very much, if at all.

it would likely have gone through congress without issue if there hadn't been a public uproar.

I don't think you have a good grasp on how lawmaking in our country works.
