It is interesting that some of the examples given of how terrible and unreasonable it would be such as radio playing, children singing, and fonts or art work...

Well just imagine that you are making a program for broadcast TV.

Can you have a radio with music playing in the background, Yes if you clear the rights and have the paperwork, and the same with children singing a none song.

Every program has legal paper work and a contract to so that all the IP work has been cleared and paid for. Every program you have ever seen. A lot of lawyers work in the media. If you don't clear the copyright the program does not get shown.

Our website has the rights to every photograph, every video and all the music. We paid for everything we have. We would have no problem whatsoever in giving our hosting company documentation showing ownership of all the creative works, model rights, music composers and musicians.

If we can do it so can our competitors.

And the things you point out are already against the law anyway. Every point you just made is illegal and the same actions could be taken right now without SOPA

I'm more interested in stopping pirates from downloading every members area and re-posting it on file share, illegit tubes, and bit torrent sites and killing the business.

As for hosting...IF the U.S. blocks all those pirate sites that run to European hosting companies...it won't bother me one little bit. Guess what? People in the U.S. would then return to websites that are not stealing and the hosting companies right here would still have that U.S. traffic.

I think that you might only be looking at SOME of the possibilities without thinking about the positive ones as well.

I've tried to think of how this law could possibly negatively affect me or any other honest guys who shoot their own stuff and/or legit buy their content fully licensed and run a tight ship.
I can not think of even ONE thing. And even if some theoretical thing could "hurt" me...it would pale in comparison to what thieves have already done with piracy to this business.

I watched a million dollar a year income from being an affiliate drop to a few thousand a month because every program had their entire members areas available for free on pirate sites. Nobody wants to buy something that is already free.

EDIT: Also...on your comment on site design. Zuzanna did mine. And she used the pictures I gave her for the graphics, pictures I personally took and own. So that one doesn't apply either. I run a tight, tight ship here..As everyone should. :)

says the guy who called himself creative for copying wayne's world in porn

what happens when someone decides to make a bogus sopa complaint based on the script you "stole"

how are you going to prove that you didn't rip off the copyrighted script of someone else to make your porn video.

your stories follow some common patterns.

if as you claimed string words together in a song are worth of a protection so strong your not even allowed to say them without permission from the original author

what makes you think you should have a right to rip off someone script.

EpicPanda 12-15-2011 04:26 PM

Right now they are tallying votes on an amendment that would direct the Attorney Generals office not to enforce SOPA provisions to protect the copyright of pornographers... jeezus, right when I tune in. This is the whole SOPA ballgame for GFY.

Matt 26z 12-15-2011 05:12 PM

I'm not too concerned about SOPA's intentions. It sounds as good as the Patriot Act did. SOPA will, however, turn into another PA in that it will be bent far beyond its intended use.

I have this complete idiot on ignore. But I had to see what he said in this thread.

So let me address you directly gideongallery...I NEVER "copied" Wayne's World. That is YOU making shit up.
In a post over a year ago I did say that I could see having Claudia Marie wear a bra that had "ClaudiaMarie.Com" on it and also have the website url written on different things in the scene so that when THIEVES put it on their pirate sites and remove the watermark I could still get the website url out there.
And yes...Waynes World did do a one minute skit in the movie where they made fun of blatant advertising by holding up different products.

Not even close in concept. AND...I never actually did that idea. It was just something I said in a post on GFY.

So once again gideongallery you are WRONG. Just like every post you make. :1orglaugh

So if the accuser says "those docs are false" and they are lying, if the host shuts down the accused's websites they will be able to sue the accuser for everything they have and then some. It might take some time, but it would be an easy win in the courts.

Which many would be glad to pay in order to have the hosts on their side, if they are abiding by the law and not engaged in piracy of course.

And one big question would be "Why would the accuser come after a company who is legally using their content?"

Go on vacation without internet for 5 days, lose your entire website thanks to a false SOPA claim. Over the years I have seen some idiotic views on GFY but those supporting this bill take the fucking cake. You can not get any more ignorant, there is nothing you can say to make this bill look sensible and it reeks of bitter ass pornographers that hope this is the silver bullet to bring back their dwindling income.

Fuck everything about this, insane motherfuckers the lot of you. :1orglaugh

bronco67 12-15-2011 07:19 PM

What I don't understand is, why does this bill need to be such an over-reaching measure? So if someone lip-synchs to a Rhianna song in YouTube video, they can be fined? How is that infringing on copyright if no money is being made from that harmless video on YouTube?

Can't they just try to recognize obvious theft and wholesale distribution of copied material, and stop that -- or would that be too much work? They have to carpet bomb the entire internet?

there needs to be some balance.

The problem is that there is nothing you can do to stop piracy short of breaking the internet. Instead of working around that fact many here will be happy to blow the whole thing up versus figuring out how to adjust their business models.

I honestly don't care either way. I'm not going to cry if they pass this giant pile of shit and by the time all of the lawsuits stop flying and it's actually enforced I won't remember which idiots said what on GFY. There is no excuse to be this ignorant and uninformed on a topic that should be important to you. If you work online you should know what the fuck you are talking about instead of blindly supporting a bill because "grrrrr pirates!"

You need to read the law. Filing a false claim is also an offense.

Nice try at fear mongering.

I have no interest in talking to you. You've proven that this shit is way over your head. Few hundred bucks and I could have a legitimate looking list of people filing SOPA claims against you and any other websites in bulk all with their own IP addresses. I could even make sure that they came in in increments and for different content so that it looked legitimate. I could send those to your host, domain registrar or even ISP. If I wanted, I could even hack up some fake documents to make it look like I was the original copyright holder. It would be your responsibility to fight each one and not everyone that deals with your ignorant ass would be willing to risk lawsuits on claims they have no way of knowing about.

I'm done talking to you about this. You've proven time and time again that you either have no interest in understanding what's going on or the inability to process it.

Have a good day.

As a student of history, I know power always corrupts. An overly broad law that gives a lot of power to the accuser and throws the presumption of innocence completely out of the windows is, imo, a recipe for disaster.

As an internet user, I worry about the impact this bill will have on a lot of products I use; ssh (could be used to hide the fact you're transferring pirated content), truecrypt (could be used to hide pirated content), icq (could be used to transfer pirated content), wget/curl (could be used to pirate content),...

As someone who does business online, I take note when Google, the Mozilla dev team, Kaspersky Labs, Zynga, Facebook, wikipedia, Twitter, human rights activists, civil liberties groups, people who built the internet like Paul Vixie (BIND) , Jim Gettys (HTTP 1.1) and Mark Andreessen (Netscape), the Electronic Frontier Foundation, AOL, eBay, PayPal, the European Parliament, LinkedIn,... all take the time and make the effort to speak out AGAINST SOPA.

Now you sound angry.LOL Just hoping we can protect our content. Somebody's income would dwindle but not content owners. The person that reports you falsely is held liable. You can sue for damages. You do create content and want it protected right?

Not a content developer or owner sounds like? PayPal is against it? Damn. Oh yeah. They sell memberships to filesonic. They would be hurt for sure if theft was punished. Yikes. Reported a pirate site to them with lots of my content removed dozens of times. Guess what PayPal did to punish them? Not a damn thing ! Users of Internet like yourself will hate this law for sure. I understand your position, but your stuff isn't stolen so the status quo is awesome. Not for me.

I make plenty. I just have a problem with thieves. Our opinion and perspective is different. Doesn't make me mad at you. No way are they gonna stop giant content thieves by passing this law. Just a shot across the bow. If they pass it I am nit gonna disappear and neither are you

Do I produce adult content? No, I don't. Have I ever bought adult content, Yes of course.
Have I ever paid people to write articles, blogposts,...? Yes, plenty of times. Have I ever paid people to create custom artwork, videos, desigsn,...? Yes, of course. Is all of that relevant? No, not at all. The validity of ones statements about a certain subject does not depend on ones method of generating income. To think otherwise would be an ad hominem argument.

Even if you want to use ad hominem arguments, there's a lot more people and companies on that list that never directly or indirectly profited from piracy.

This morning, the following was sent to the NANOG mailing list (The North American Network Operators' Group, http://www.nanog.org):
An Open Letter From Internet Engineers to the U.S. Congress

We, the undersigned, have played various parts in building a network called the Internet. We wrote and debugged the software; we defined the standards and protocols that talk over that network. Many of us invented parts of it. We're just a little proud of the social and economic benefits that our project, the Internet, has brought with it.

Last year, many of us wrote to you and your colleagues to warn about the proposed "COICA" copyright and censorship legislation. Today, we are writing again to reiterate our concerns about the SOPA and PIPA derivatives of last year's bill, that are under consideration in the House and Senate. In many respects, these proposals are worse than the one we were alarmed to read last year.

If enacted, either of these bills will create an environment of tremendous fear and uncertainty for technological innovation, and seriously harm the credibility of the United States in its role as a steward of key Internet infrastructure. Regardless of recent amendments to SOPA, both bills will risk fragmenting the Internet's global domain name system (DNS) and have other capricious technical consequences. In exchange for this, such legislation would engender censorship that will simultaneously be circumvented by deliberate infringers while hampering innocent parties' right and ability to communicate and express themselves online.

All censorship schemes impact speech beyond the category they were intended to restrict, but these bills are particularly egregious in that regard because they cause entire domains to vanish from the Web, not just infringing pages or files. Worse, an incredible range of useful, law-abiding sites can be blacklisted under these proposals. In fact, it seems that this has already begun to happen under the nascent DHS/ICE seizures program.

Censorship of Internet infrastructure will inevitably cause network errors and security problems. This is true in China, Iran and other countries that censor the network today; it will be just as true of American censorship. It is also true regardless of whether censorship is implemented via the DNS, proxies, firewalls, or any other method. Types of network errors and insecurity that we wrestle with today will become more widespread, and will affect sites other than those blacklisted by the American government.

The current bills -- SOPA explicitly and PIPA implicitly -- also threaten engineers who build Internet systems or offer services that are not readily and automatically compliant with censorship actions by the U.S. government. When we designed the Internet the first time, our priorities were reliability, robustness and minimizing central points of failure or control. We are alarmed that Congress is so close to mandating censorship-compliance as a design requirement for new Internet innovations. This can only damage the security of the network, and give authoritarian governments more power over what their citizens can read and publish.

The US government has regularly claimed that it supports a free and open Internet, both domestically and abroad. We cannot have a free and open Internet unless its naming and routing systems sit above the political concerns and objectives of any one government or industry. To date, the leading role the US has played in this infrastructure has been fairly uncontroversial because America is seen as a trustworthy arbiter and a neutral bastion of free expression. If the US begins to use its central position in the network for censorship that advances its political and economic agenda, the consequences will be far-reaching and destructive.

Senators, Congressmen, we believe the Internet is too important and too valuable to be endangered in this way, and implore you to put these bills aside.

U-Bob. I would bet most of those companies that are against it don't create content that gets stolen regularly, just like yourself. The arguments against the bill have merit if it overreaches, and allows false claims to rule the internet. My opinion will have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the outcome of the vote for this bill. I believe the government is corrupt, and many times makes a fake law for a hidden agenda (like 2257), so I do have that concern. However, I depend on government to do the things I can't do for myself. Like creating laws that assist in stopping people from taking things from me that don't belong to them and sharing them with the world against my will, and a quick effective remedy when they do. I hope my point of view makes sense to you, but if not, you can continue to have your opinion of the bill, and anyone that thinks it would be a help to doing business online as a content creator. :thumbsup

All you content creators are going to love it when a model's parents find her nude on the Internet and confront her so she freaks out and starts sending sopa notices to everyone getting your sites/domains/emails/payment processors pulled.

Sure it's illegal to file a false report but do you think they will give a shit when their christian father finds out

I've been fucking talking about this for years on this forum, almost tempted to pull up the dozen or so posts on this exact same piece of legislation.

So many of you said it would never happen, yet, logically it made sense and now here it is...

Once it happens it will be like killing an ant with a nuclear bomb. The government won't be reasonable or fair, they will go to the ISPs and get any site blocked at their discretion. Then we will have fun spending the next 2-10 years trying to get our wrongfully pulled sites back online.

It's going to happen, one way or another. From there it will also only get worse, once you give the government control over ISPs you can't take it back. Today it's to limit piracy, tomorrow it's to limit lewdness on the internet.

and those of you who think America will be the only country to enact it, you're wrong. Once we do it, every government and ISP in the world will eventually follow suit. The power to control what content you can see is a goldmine.

Someone would fill your shoes, they'd just be smart enough to work with a business model that fits 2011 and beyond. Also, plenty of free amateur porn out there being created every single day. If you think people will stop recording good old fucking because of pirates you are insane.

Too bad the Digital Millennium Copyright Act turned out to be such an utterly worthless piece of shit.

Were there any real remedies in place, or even in the distant horizon, SOPA would never have made it out of the womb.

False accusations can be made. You can falsly accuse someone of rape. that will ruin their year, but in the end the truth will out and the accuser will have to bear the consequences.

The Internet is now very quickly being brought under the control of goverments.
In the UK, registration and control of all VOD sites, Control on sites for advertising.

What makes people think the the Internet can take other peoples IP without paying for it?

The US makes billions of dollars from the film, TV, music, news and programming industries, can it just watch as they are trashed ?

The Internet can step up, charge all a flat fee for usage, and pay all the content users for their material or the Internet will be more and more controlled.

Makes me laugh when Google is presented as fighting for people rights. How do you get Google to change its mind when it "offs" a website? Google has no democratic control.
