[QUOTE="ActionRemix"][QUOTE="AlistarHP"][QUOTE="ActionRemix"]Ron Paul opposes increasing federal regulations and judicial clout? Surprise! And the way this works is a copyright holder needs to sue the infringer. Barack Obama doesn't have a magic lever in the Oval Office that shuts off the internet. This has to go through judicial channels and the bill grants immunity to sites like Youtube that actively eliminate infringing content. What the hell does that change, if the bill passed THEY COULD censor those sites to the rest of the world. And their rules and "laws" are beyond vague, the internet as a free zone would end. You have no friggen clue how bad it would be in the long run. People were SHOCKED when they heard the Chinese goverment blocked sites to their people, noone could wrap their head around it, now it's about to happen in the US which would affect the rest of the world and we have ignorant dumbasses(lol) like you defending it. Really sad. "THEY" could censor those sites. Who? The government? No. The way that this works in America is copyright holders sue copyright infringers. The only difference is this bill enables the attorney general to sue American pirate sites physically housed abroad. Your precious Pirate Bay won't be affected, don't worry. Wrong, it isn't pirate sites, it's ANY site with copyright material infrigment. That's pretty much 90% of the websites on the internet.
[QUOTE="skrat_01"]>Thinking MGS2 is 'deep' >Thinking MGS is 'deep' Oh children these days. [QUOTE="AlistarHP"]MGS is BY FAR the deepest videogame series of all time, it's mixture of reality and fiction, prophecy and moral lessons are unmatched in gaming, it's branching and evololution is unparralel. All this in an action'esque game, not some boring turn based RPG with a million lines of text. - Truly remarkable. - Read more books, play more games, watch more films. MGS3 is as good as MGS came to a strong plot, bookmarked by camp nonsense. The second was a convoluted mess this side of every damn anime to preach pseudo-philosophy, which results in a small legion of teenagers thinking it's the smartest and most enlightening thing ever. You need to be a pretty big ignorant hater to come into a videogame forum, post in a videogame thread telling someone to read more books and watch more filmes. Not to bright this one.
[QUOTE="ActionRemix"][QUOTE="AlistarHP"]WOW YOUR SLOW. That doesn't explain crap, if you did what I said, you would have seen how a site like youtube can be blocked off because someone uploads a video with a hint of copyright infringement, or facebook, or any site.

[QUOTE="AlistarHP"][QUOTE="ActionRemix"]I just noticed that he wants me to use Reddit to learn about legislation. LOL!ActionRemix
Wow your slow :lol: You do realise reddit is nothing more then a filter that'll help you find the best articles and have comments/opinions where you can help inform yourself even more? How is that lol worthy? Don't tell me you google it and just find random articles... Once again, inform yourself. So where do I go to learn about legistlation? Why, the congressional record of course! The entire bill is available for your viewing pleasure on THOMAS. Just read the bill summary for yourself:
Authorizes the Attorney General (AG) to seek a court order against a U.S.-directed foreign Internet site committing or facilitating online piracy to require the owner, operator, or domain name registrant, or the site or domain name itself if such persons are unable to be found, to cease and desist further activities constituting specified intellectual property offenses under the federal criminal code including criminal copyright infringement, unauthorized fixation and trafficking of sound recordings or videos of live musical performances, the recording of exhibited motion pictures, or trafficking in counterfeit labels, goods, or services.SOPA

I wont jump on the hype wagon here, but MGS2 was a good ways ahead of its time and a good ways beyond what your average gamer is willing to wrap their brain around.
Kojima and many of his team members have made mention that MGS2 is easily the best in the series. The only problem was that most gamers didn't get it (the story or the gameplay) so we got the more down to earth MGS3 with simplified gameplay and story. Kojima realised that good presentation of a story carries over more than having a good story itself. Kind of sad, but even movies suffer the same punishment at the hands of the masses.

Well said, that makes a lot of sense. The more artsy the piece of art becomes, the harder it is for the masses to "get it". It is curious how so many people look down at MGS2 and praise so highly MGS3, I loved all MGS games, but 2 was clearly the one with the most "genius".
SOPA and Protect IP are not censorship bills. They enable the government to raid pirate sites.ActionRemix
You need to inform yourself. SOPA is censorship in our digital age of the most dangerous kind. It's vague rules will allow the US to censor the internet for the rest of the world because most big internet companies are located in the USA. Luckily we have some companies like Google, facebook, mozilla, yahoo and more along with some good politicians recognize the dangers of this bill. Even Microsoft I hear is agaisnt it, Microsoft. The internet needs to remain free, privatize, corporatize the internet and we've lost everything. Even places like youtube could be blocked because someone uploaded a video with a song as a soundtrack. It's evil.
