I don't know if you guys are aware of it, but Congress is going to try and censor the internet, and we need to put a stop to it! Follow the link and follow the instructions, or we may very well no longer have an internet to go to anymore. Sure there will be websites still, but not many. Only sites that are allowed to be up. Fan sites and such will probably get forced to be closed, and this goes against the First Amendment, but they don't care, they're doing as they please, and we need to act now, it's do, or die.

We need to act on it now, or else you might not even be able to talk with each other online again, plan anything, work on somthing in a forum, anything. It'll be all gone if this bill goes into affect.

I think you should really read into what this bill actually entails because you seem very misguided. This isn't about censoring what is on the Internet in the sense you are implying. It is also now about closing down the majority of the the Internet's websites and only leaving open the ones they want to allow. It is not going to close fan sites. Seriously, read about it before stating what you think it means. The bill is specifically for cracking down on the piracy of copyright material. It allows companies to ask banks and Internet providers to discontinue business with sites that are proven to be a source of releasing or providing a means of access on pirated material. Honestly, there is only one problem I see with that, which is the reduce of IP security for those who are suspected, but end up being innocent of any piracy crimes. But again, don't make a bunch of assumptions based on the title "Censoring the Internet". Actually read into it.

Okay, *ahem* Mega has every right to say his opinion, and you have the right to say its good. However, Mega's misguided and its normal, since the news don't exactly tell us anything about SOPA. Why? Well, for starters, a lot of the news are own by ABC, CBS, Fox, etc. These network stations, along with the music industry, support this bill because YouTube and other video-streaming sites show their content by YouTubers without their consent. Google's also in it because it provides links to piracy websites, so it must censor such things.That's good, right? Well, considering it does lower piracy, it won't stop it. However, the bill's wording is more on the side of the film and music industry, doing more harm than good. They'll have the ability to prosecute people or entities, innocent or guilty, harmless to dangerous, without due process. People who harmlessly use clips or music, for fair use, are in jeopardy. Piracy will be felony, up to five years in prison, for a crime everybody does.This law is unconstitutional, going against the fifth amendment, and if possible, the first amendment.

sopa will give them the right to shut down any website capable of committing piracy for example youtube will be able to get taken down facebook every single video streaming site and basically any thing that can even have images is liable to get taken down they won't have to even alert the owners they will have the power to take it down this bill will ruin the internet and possibly stopping the next great innovation.

Just because most people commit some act of piracy does not mean that it is unconstitutional to punish someone for it. That logic makes absolutely no sense. I also do not see how this is a violation of the fifth or first amendment. Saying piracy is protected by freedom of speech is like saying plagiarism or other forms of stealing are protected by freedom of speech. As far as the 5th, it just assures that one does not have to answer to a certain crimes without presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury. This isn't going to violate that.

Alright, I'll put it bluntly then. With how this is going to go, if this bill passes, I can honestly say that Vizzed, will be taken down most assuredly. Why? Well look at this way. A lot of the stuff here can be considered piracy.  All the games here, all the videos here, and I'm indeed talking about the Retro Game room and the Retro Toon Room. This entire site can be considered a entire piracy act. Especially some of the stuff within the control panel.

I'm not saying I'm for piracy. But, what I am saying, that SOPA, while it's supposedly for stopping piracy acts, it'll also be removing free rights. Simply put, you won't be able to post an image from a game, comic, movie, tv show, anything in any form, be it for entertainment or review purposes, it'll be considered a piracy act.

I can understand companies being ticked off that people are posting videos and musics up for viewing for free, but let's look at it this way, this is going to be acting on all non company owned sites. It'll put various small companies out of business, it'll make it where the only sites you can go to are government approved sites.

That'll mean no more shrines, no more fan dedicated sites, no more places where fans can actually gather together and share interests, all of that will be gone if we don't act before the 21st of this month. They're really pushing to get this bill passed, and if it does, you can kiss this site and every other site goodbye.

I'll tell you this much.

I honestly don't care. Nothing I do will change the effect of what happens.

Therefor, I'll just be a plastic bag in the wind and see what happens.

If it means the end of Vizzed, I'll be pretty upset, but I also am not going to foolishly try to change the world.

Whatever happens will happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this bill will take down the site per se. We just won't be able to reach it by typing vizzed.com in the url. I believe we should be able to make it back here again if we know what the IP address is. Also, this kinds of "shut down" can easily be bypassed when someone goes to make a browser add-on for that purpose, and that is why some people are worried about the Internet's security if this bill passes. When I first heard about this, I personally was worried. But that this point I'm in the same boat as leggy is. I'm just going to wait and see what happens. I actually doubt that this bill will even pass.

This bill/act/whatever its correct terminology is  won't stop piracy, it will just allow companies to take more measures to prevent it and deal with those who have pirated. In my opinion they should be entitled too that. I admit I haven't read the entire bill but got the just of it explained to me. I'm not sure how this will effect international servers / internet users. Maybe vizzed could just get hosted onto an over seas server?

death_nation : That is an epic typo! ( can an entire paragraph be a typo? lol) Obviously it should be in a different thread and was a mistake, but you should tell me the name of that thread and what forum, it looks interesting!! Also, there is no way Kim Jong IL isn't dead, they had his body on display in a glass case! lol

smotpoker86 : That are deemed to be taken down only lose their domain name --or something like that. It should still be possible to reach the website if you know it's IP address or get a browser add-on to bypass the block. I believe it is the latter of the two that gives an idea to the potential security risk (DNS). I recommend the Youtube video in the link. If you want to go directly to the part about security risks, skip to 7:30. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM

This bill will not take down Vizzed. Even with this bill, the decision to take action against a site that has something under copyright is still the decision of the company that has that copyright. Nintendo has had the power to have all the games here under their copyright taken down. All they have to do is tell David to take them down, and he will have to. That is what happened with the Atari games here. Atari told him to take them down, so he legally had to do so. If Nintendo wants David to take the games down, they would have already made him do it. This bill isn't going to just all of a sudden make them think "Oh. That means we can get our stuff off of Vizzed now". 

This site isn't a big piracy act because of the fact that David has not been told by the companies who own the copyrights to take them down. As long as they don't ask him to do so, he isn't doing anything illegal. Now, if they did and he did not comply, then this would be a piracy act.

AuraBlaze : You are probably right, I am sure there would be ways around it. I just wanted to state that this seems strangely familiar of how the internet is controlled in places like China and Iran. Of course in those countries the government blocks sites that are a potential threat to what they want their population to know, or as they put it "national security" lol.  They are just securing their national propaganda i guess haha.


This part is for everyone and not just AuraBlaze.

If you were to write a letter to your local congress member saying you are against SOAP, are you not basically sending them a letter saying "Hey I am a Pirate and I am for piracy!" ?

rcarter2 : That is not necessarily true for the fact that this bill gives government control. Currently, it mostly relies on copyright owners needing to do the work but when the government has control over it then that means they have the authority to speak for copyright owners by removing any site that has their stuff on it.

Using major search engines they could automatically target domain names and page information to easily censor, much like how Youtube does it. Just imagine if you had a domain name that has a trademarked or copyrighted phrase in it?

Using automated systems they can easily block everyone without the use of a report or complaint. That is what is scary about it, currently copyright owners do all the work but when this bill is live government is in control and they will most likely implement a automated system like I described.

Gaming companies are in support of SOPA I believe so Vizzed is not safe one bit. This bill passes and goes live, Vizzed will most likely go under especially if the system is all automated. They will most likely target domain names, urls, page titles and content, I mean they can do a lot to censor and take down vizzed if they wanted without the copyright owners even knowing about it. Not only do they have the power to block you from search results and domain registrations they will also have the ability to ban you from receiving money with paypal and can ban vizzed from earning money off ads.

Facebook, Google and Godaddy are major parts of Vizzed, now if those 3 sites had sopa features on it Vizzed would not be welcome on any of them. Godaddy would cancel his account, Google would ban him from searches and ad revenue, and facebook would ban his app and not allow links leading to his site. As you can see, this is pretty scary and there is a lot more to it then the normal copyright owners manually seeking removal.

Government will be working with major companies to make it happen, and the sad part is the major sites will sell out to same themselves so the little sites like Vizzed are the ones who are in danger. The bigger sites got nothing to worry about because in a way, some of them already have SOPA implemented into them. Google and Youtube both have SOPA qualities in them already so if you hear Google protesting against it you will know their full of crap, same with facebook, youtube and all the major sites. SOPA an inside job!
rcarter2 : That is not necessarily true for the fact that this bill gives government control. Currently, it mostly relies on copyright owners needing to do the work but when the government has control over it then that means they have the authority to speak for copyright owners by removing any site that has their stuff on it.

Using major search engines they could automatically target domain names and page information to easily censor, much like how Youtube does it. Just imagine if you had a domain name that has a trademarked or copyrighted phrase in it?

Using automated systems they can easily block everyone without the use of a report or complaint. That is what is scary about it, currently copyright owners do all the work but when this bill is live government is in control and they will most likely implement a automated system like I described.

Gaming companies are in support of SOPA I believe so Vizzed is not safe one bit. This bill passes and goes live, Vizzed will most likely go under especially if the system is all automated. They will most likely target domain names, urls, page titles and content, I mean they can do a lot to censor and take down vizzed if they wanted without the copyright owners even knowing about it. Not only do they have the power to block you from search results and domain registrations they will also have the ability to ban you from receiving money with paypal and can ban vizzed from earning money off ads.

Facebook, Google and Godaddy are major parts of Vizzed, now if those 3 sites had sopa features on it Vizzed would not be welcome on any of them. Godaddy would cancel his account, Google would ban him from searches and ad revenue, and facebook would ban his app and not allow links leading to his site. As you can see, this is pretty scary and there is a lot more to it then the normal copyright owners manually seeking removal.

JigSaw : Have they modified since it's first proposal? When I read through the proposed bill when it was first brought up, it stated that it would give copyright owners the right to request banks and such to discontinue business with those which they find violating copyright, which is why I didn't have a huge problem with it pertaining to this site in particular. Or could it be possible that the version of the proposal I read was condensed?

rcarter2 : Who knows But passing a bill is pointless unless it gives someone power and its not really copyright owners, its more government and corporate america. It's another way to hold down potential competitors and gain money. Any copyright owner can go and have stuff removed from sites anytime they want but a lot of them are either too lazy to do it or only do it if they can gain profits from it. By having a bill in place gives government the authority to seize control over not just your sites presence on the web they can also sue you and slap felonies on you.

There would be no point for GoDaddy to work on SOPA unless it involved them implementing a system which checks with trademarked names when someone tries to register domains. They will also probably put scanning devices on their servers and check for data that you should not be having on your site. Those two are speculations, but I figure it will just be as nazized as Youtube is when the bill is live. Upload a webpage to their server, oh look it has copyrighted material from VEVO, your account has been banned

Youtubes site is the best example of SOPA in action, your videos get flagged instantly after uploading if copyrighted content is found. Sure maybe the copyright owner has to fill out an app form, but after that the automated system can do a majority of the work.
