...Capcom supports S.O.P.A.

Title says it all. :/

This makes me mad. I've lost a lot of respect for them. Now, it'll be hard for us to meet people on the net who like Resident Evil. And if that doesn't happen, their sales could lower for a lot of different reasons.

WHAT THE FFFFFFUUUUUUUU​

SOPA is the worst bill ever even written. Sega had the right idea with a hard reset, but capcom is all like WE SUPPORT DEM and I'm like NUUUUUUUUU.​

Then if any other gaming companies support the bill, they'll be shooting themselves in the butt...

Thing is Capcom needs Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc.... to promote themselves and their games, if the bill goes to effect how will most people know about the latest songs, games, movies etc... :/

What the hell is a SOPA?

Google it, and fast!

Okay, so they're trying to stop online piracy. Barring online advertizing networks would block Capcom from making profit though, so why would they back SOPA?

Stopping online piracy seems like a good idea, but they're going about it the wrong way.

If the bill is passed then everything on the internet will slowly die. Youtube will be first for sure...

I mean if u can't post stuff like game or music vids, then who is gonna want to use youtube?

 

[KKAAIIG]

Youtube, Facebook, Twitter this fourm etc will get taken down if the bill goes to effect.

Apparently Obama has an "internet kill switch". Why doesn't he just use that to bring down the internet?

Because he knows he will be hated for it.

Because he knows he will be hated for it.

And 'cause he doesn't support this.

Obama is already hated because he's associated with the New World Order, so thats not the reason.

Wikipedia and Reddit were both down today to protest the bill.

 

[Angel]

As were about 20 or more other sites. Seems to me that the bills are poorly formed with vague wording - the intentions are good but there are too many areas which could be exploited or abused and could mean the loss of services which are, for the most part, legitimate.

How would they govern this, anyway? Will there be groups of people dedicated to trawling the net and highlighting sites that need shutting down or is it automated or what?

So, I know what sopa is, but i've only just heard of pipa...

surely if sites are '.co.uk' then this bill has no say over those sites?
