People Who Can/Can't Know

[sideshowanon]

So I have been thinking to post this on social sites such as myspace, facebook even discussing this on World of Warcraft (yes I know I am a WoWfag basementfag). Do you guys think it would be okay to post this site on any of those?
Opinions? Don't turn this into a flame thread.

actually i believe that anyone that is joining us is good, we don't have to be 4channers only, bring as many as you can so we get stronger and be able to change something.

We have a FB group: www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=107956259234240

I agree, we should raise awareness of this as much as we can. We are not the only ones who use the internet...tell everyone you can. Word of mouth, in games, forums, chat rooms, etc.

cadet jonah: Anyway, The chunk of it that I know is that it requires ISPs to watch their customers and take down anything that "could potentially be a copyright violation." Since anything "could potentially be a copyright violation" this would give ISPs the right to take down any material they wanted.

Also, if anyone reports material as a violation of copyright then ISPs are required to take it down, no questions asked. This being the case I could simply call up my ISP, say that all of ebay was violating my copyright, and they would be required to take it down.

In all actuality, there would be some sort of investigation for a site as large as ebay before it was taken down, but smaller sites without the money to afford lawyers to fight it would be screwed.

Edit: Here is a good summary article: www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/4910/125/
cadet jonah: they will be given the right to check your hard drive(with or without a valuable reason), downloading songs may become a crime. This site might give you a brief idea: www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/09/international-i/

Youtube won't go down, copyright rules will sure be a lot more enforced, same for facebook, rapidshare will probably be targeted, torrents too, limewire, almost anything related to Peers to Peers systems will be in trouble.
pearson8966: Dude, stop explaining.
pearson8966: Lol. I don't give two shits.
cadet jonah: then you are stupid as fuck
cadet jonah: for someone who's on the internet so much
pearson8966: Well.
pearson8966: I'm not on the internet so much.
pearson8966: Whenever you see me on AIM is when I'm on the computer.
pearson8966: I go on the computer for one thing - Facebook.
cadet jonah: a
cadet jonah: that isn't much
pearson8966: I don't do WLM, AIM, Forums, etc, etc.
cadet jonah: Facebook probably won't get hit too hard
pearson8966: Exactly.
pearson8966: So just stfu.
cadet jonah: ...
cadet jonah: just not caring is hardly an excuse in this issue
cadet jonah: it's like not caring if we nuke Russia
cadet jonah: but w/e
pearson8966: Dude, like I said, if it hasn't been in the news it's not very important.
cadet jonah: ...

I hate my friends.

Get it in your FB statuses and join the group.

I'm spamming Bookface non-stop, pretty sure my friend count has gone down... but I've gotten a good few friends to join the anti-acta group.

[villainy]

Spamming might be a bad choice. We don't want to be "that group." If we show ourselves to be screaming ninnies, then no one will take us seriously. To be fair, we have to be loud. But we can't be a fog horn; we need to be more like a well tuned Hemi engine. We need to scream and roar with tuned ferocity, with a high whistle from the well calibrated blower, not bellow out an unactrattive belch of noise.

[supraninja]

I agree to a point villainy but as with most facebooks I only actually interact with about maybe a quarter of the friends IRL, they're the ones joining. The others can gtf, I don't interact with them because they're assholes. It's no big deal, plus with the amount of wall traffic I kind of need to post it often enough that people see it.

[villainy]

Wall traffic is a problem I guess. Just so long as its not everyday, every hour, all the time, or you'll get reported as a spammer/troll and could get the associated groups in trouble as well.

[supraninja]

You're right, I'll be cautious. It's not as bad as hourly though

[lol]

I'm posting this shit on every board I'm a member of.
