It doesn't piss people off if you tell them that's why you did it.

Not everyone will read my post, they will just see a few people support SOPA and flip.

Marxist or a European.

Either one.

No.
The bill, as said rightly supports commercial interests, not political or public interests.
China does have extensive internet censorship , but simply to prevent the kind of problems that so-called social networks were able to stir elsewhere, and to prevent leaks of sensitive information.

Hence European.

Where fascism in practice originated and continues.

Well, that's...quite the poll.

You aren't allowed to have no opinion.

SOPA is oppressive and I really hope it fails. I'm not really sure it's even constitutional, but most people in congress don't seem to really care one bit about whether a bill is constitutional or not.

Activision is a major sponsor of the SOPA bill.

The makers of one of the gaming industries top selling series.

The US government can't regulate the internet, it's an international structure.

Well, if Activision supports it, I'm definitely against it.

China says otherwise. So long as they have the legal authority (not that they do; they don't) it's perfectly possible to regulate it's use within the US.

I'd like all of you to take the time to watch this video... very illuminating. If you're not against SOPA beforehand, I'd hope you'd be afterward.

I never said it wasn't physically possible, I just mean it isn't right to claim something that belongs to the world as your own.

Activision wants it so no competition against CoD and many of their other games can come up.

If there's illegal infringement of some kind, let the aggrieved parties seek damages through civil action. Why make it a criminal case? Why should our government become the collections agency for the recording artists and music industry?
If SOPA had to be approved by a popular vote, the American electorate would never allow it to become law.

That's almost as bad as EA supporting it. I mean... if EA supports it, I will march.

Or rather, they want to litigate any company that uses COD-style game aspects for copyright infringement.

Oh, well in that case... the internet doesn't actually exist. It's an abstract entity. The servers and clients that make it up do exist though, and you can absolutely regulate their use (again, not that it should be done or is constitutional)

And with the bulk of the servers that make the Internet work being located in the US, it'll screw over ~~alot of people~~ the world.

It would, yes. Again, I don't support it. I'm not attacking the position, but the argument.
