Of course you seem like some strange astroturfer for isohunt so here's a better link : <a href="http://www.eff.org/issues/coica-internet-censorship-and-copyright-bill" target="_blank">http://www.eff.org/issues/coica-internet-c...-copyright-bill</a>
Well thank golly we got that cleared up. I wouldn't want to accidentally support any communists now would I?

It's all the same.
Step 1) Corporations lobby to give power to G to regulate internet.
Step 2) G uses the power it has to its ends, to grow itself / suppress speech, because that's what G does.
Step 3) Corporations lobby to use the power G gave itself to give it more powers to benefit corporations.
Step 4) Go to step 2...
massive amounts of /facepalm for this
The technical goals of this bill (from what EFF said) is American DNS companies. This means that if you use an American DNS, the website names will not resolve. If you use a different DNS, or punch in an IP, it will work fine.
As for the Communism, Steam group, and ISOHunt link:
/facepalm
Censorship isn't always about destroying access 100%. It's usually about making it more difficult to access. Like travel or free speech. Here, have this "free speech zone", you still have the right to assemble, only where I tell you, though. And, you can still travel, as long as you have special identification, submit to be cavity searched, and give access to your bank accounts. You're still "free". Technically.
The next step, of course, once you have a blacklist, is to use it to do more than originally intended. That's how blacklists work. You make it under mild pretenses, and you use it to inconvenience. Then you use it to destroy.
Where did I say that just because Americans can circumvent it, it isn't bad?
I explained to Cereal just what it is, and why it will not directly effect any one outside of the US.
This all reeks of the crunchy hippy protests I saw constantly in college. No actual knowledge about what they were protesting, simply spouting catchy platitudes that were, more often than not, wrong/irrelevant/based on faulty logic or knowledge. If you point out to them that what they are chanting makes zero sense they just come back and attack you with the same things again, regardless of the fact that you agree that XYZ is bad and something should be done, however that something should be informed, intelligent, and EFFECTIVE.
So, yet again:
/facepalm
aside from minimizing, and the use of rhetoricals where you don't explicitly state your opinion, so you avoid having to defend it, or do anything about it, /facepalming excluded.

his respond after was:
Those users do not own those websites nor are they adversing their own group. The owner of Amazon isnt posting those links. Is he?[/
Mine was:
im not the owner of the sites im posting so i dont know what your talking about.
and he ended it with:
You are posting steam community groups and a torrent site they are posting something totally different..
You know this and now just trolling. There is no need to reply to this pm and you do not need to pm me again about your warning. You have all the info you need.
Good day.

steam forum is not letting me share this information and making up rules even though his last respond totally confused me i think he got mad...hah
:/
He had some?
Btw, juice:
Contact your representatives with a well informed and rational argument to oppose this bill. That is what I suggest.
Do you do this?
I have experience doing so and they respond with form letters which display absolute ignorance of the issues, most of the time explaining how they are "working hard" to enact legislation which is the very legislation I oppose, followed by a two sentence justification.
I think it's more fruitful to motivate others to have a strong opinion on a philosophical level, so that when politicians speak on the issue it's easier for voters to identify who to vote for or against. The details change depending on the bill, and people don't have the interest or the time to research it. Hell, politicians don't even read the bills. That's why the fight is in the ideas, because that's what people remember, even when you're not around to explain things to them.
So, join us, Thansal, put down your facepalms and join the Crunchy Hippie Internet Freedom Fighters Of Nerd-dom (CHIFFON)!!!
That is how adminning in general usually works.
No, sadly not. Communism is good, almost as good as red alert 2 (ok thats a lie, nothing can be that good)! It just doesnt work irl tho. Atleast not if there exists humans in the world, maybe robots though.
If they blacklist, you should try getting the web history of every politician and get them blacklisted with the most visited as highest priority. That or just tap into their internet and block them out, scissors usually work well.
Disclaimer:
I am joking, do NOT cut peoples fiberoptic (or other) cables!
The scariest part of this is the second list that the Attorney General has full control over and that while it's not mandatory to obey this list, the government would be 'much obliged' if you did. Though I don't think it'll go anywhere. <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-3804" target="_blank">http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-3804</a> It's still go a ways before it's even to the vote. Plenty of time for talking heads to be outraged about it.
