I kind of like the background. Easier on the eyes.

And now you've raised awareness of that.WolfThomas said:And now you raised awareness of his raising of awareness of their raising of awareness.manaman said:They are doing it to raise awareness, and you made a thread to raise awareness of their raising awareness.
Where you trying to to be meta intentionally, or was it a total accident?
My head hurts.
I wasn't aware of anyone here complaining about the blackouts so I don't know who this is aimed at.Jarimir said:And my response is to not give a sh*t. I believe in copyright and IP. If SOPA is what's needed to support that, then I support SOPA.
Shut down the entire internet and I still wont care. It's just one day FFS.
If we as a species cant handle a day without the internet then we are doomed far worse than any ammount of harm "censorship" can do.
Again, that's massive overkill, we shouldn't have to rebuild the Internet (which is an inaccurate way to put it in the first place), and there's no real way to know what would be lost until the full destructive force is brought to bear.Jarimir said:And I still really dont care. I support a complete shut-down and dismantling of the internet if that is what is necessary. There is nothing sacred about the internet, and I have full faith that it will be rebuilt. So what is there to lose save for the tears of a bunch of entitled sociopaths that will miss their free(stolen) music, tv shows, movies, and porn.
QQ MOAR maybe the God you dont believe in will take mercy upon you and show up to save your gravy train.
If you think this is about just the shutting down of the internet then you clearly do not understand why people are opposed to it to begin with.Jarimir said:No seriously, we can survive without the internet. If you were born prior to 1986 you might even remember it. We will be stronger for learning how to again. If not, if we really cant survive a complete or partial shut down of the internet, then I cant say that there was very much keeping us alive in the 1st place...Glademaster said:Oh ok now I understand you just like being one of those people.Jarimir said:And I still really dont care.

As much as stuff like Piracy needs to be fought against and stopped stuff like piracy that needs finesse, innovation and tact to be stopped will never be ceased or even hindered by such heavy handed hamfisted tactics. The only people this will actually harm is everyone but pirates as it most affects domains and not the ip.Jarimir said:And my response is to not give a sh*t. I believe in copyright and IP.

My boyfriend works for Go Daddy(that company helped write the bill but has since back pedaled from it). He's throughly read the bill and has had to answer a metric f*ck ton of customer service calls over it. My roommate also is heavily into computers and works for CCBill. NEITHER of them are bothered by SOPA nor understand the anti-SOPA hysteria. I am not as tech-savy, so even though I too dont know what the fuss is about or should be about; I take solace that those around me who are more knowledgible than I share my possition.
