No, this isn't "infringment", or "conterfeiting". You utterly idiotic lobbyist obeyers want to censor the Internet just because Hollywood says so

A bunch of fat old men think they can shut down pirate bay?

ROFLCOPTER TO THE MOON!

[Aklyon]

no, the usual example is Youtube being kicked off the internet because Viacom can get it onto the list.

You really think these kind of laws will pass and stick in a country where free speech is valued, and the communist censorship that china and north Korea engages in is viewed as evil?

[Aklyon]

its also the same country that is trying to get ACTA to work without revealing it entirely.

These kind of statements make me want it to pass.

Anyway, look at the article title.  It's alright, there is no government body called the Justice Depatement, so we're good as long as no one else gets that authority.

Considering the blatant hypocrisy of a lot of politicians... I wouldn't rule it out.

In any case, how the heck will they go about shutting down foreign websites?

Its the same argument used again and again.

Book burnings, comic books make your children violent, video games make your children violent... movies are the work of satan...

When the previous industry is threatened they want to kill the new one. Why are we even phased by this anymore, when this happens just calmly stop, reach in your brain, and pull out your first amendment rights.

I don't think the Congress has jurisdiction in Sweden, so you guys are getting a copy of the Great Firewall of China I guess.

Aren't there ways around it?

Cue Ghost Surf. As soon as I set it back up, my IP will be in The Netherlands. Possibly Argentina. Haven't really decided yet.

That would end interestingly. With our remaining anti-communism feelings, copying anything communist is the surest way to unite us against it.

Or Canada.
