Personally, I think that those who feel they are hit the most by piracy fail to see the real dangers of such an overly broad law. The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.
I've got a feeling i won't be able to change your mind on this SOPA thing, so we'll agree to disagree
On the matter of the sky's tendency to fall when new laws are proposed; it's possible the most dangerous aspects of certain laws never materialized because people saw them coming and made a lot of noise and managed to gets those bills amended. |
Yes, we both do. And so do all the people saying the internet will be hurt if we stop allowing people to steal freely. "What about my avatar? I could get sued? " Create your own fking Avatar. How bout that?
We can agree to disagree. But, I am not in favor of overreaching laws like 2257, and possibly SOPA. However, I don't make money hosting for thieves, or billing for thieves, or selling file locker memberships for thieves, so my perspective may be skewed in the minds of many.
Are we really afraid that someone is going to tell your host that you don't own your content. I can prove it quickly and effectively. If you can't you might really hate this law. If you know damn well its stolen, you are REALLY gonna hate this law.
What is your perspective U-Bob? Do you earn any income from uploaded content where the user may or may not be the legal owner? If not, what is your biggest concern? That someone reports you for stolen content that you legally own?
