[QUOTE="MW2ismygame"][QUOTE="Setsa"]What you stated is exactly what's wrong with any legislation that attempts to regulate the happenings on the internet. The biggest problem is the demographic that is ultimately concocting such ideas didn't grow up with nor use it as often as the vast majority of society. The reason why some people are backing it is because they don't realize the extent to which such regulation can maim the internet. I don't download music (I use the radio) nor do I pirate movies (I'm a bargain bin shopper), but when you're creating the potential to shut down/inhibit the functioning of silly, harmless sites that just so happen to use specific images/clips often in a satirical manner, then you've just gotta wonder. I mean, what's the average age of American senators anyways?
SOPA and PIPA your thoughts ?

Post ALL the ignorant uninformed opinions! thats exactly whats getting me mad the people who support it are like the voters that kill their own health benefits or their own civil liberties Exactly. The problem is you get people (and I'm sorry if I offend anyone by saying this) that are predominantly middle-aged and older voting in favour of such legislation because they believe that the ideal fronted by the media, that these sorts of legislation EXCLUSIVELY target theft, is the sole concept on which the legislation is based. That's it's all about theft theft theft! Stealing movies and music and video-games without ever actually realizing what it would affect. I can bet there are a lot of individuals that are 40+ and regularly frequent facebook and other sites that contain large quantities of lightly mediated material that is actually "property" of someone else, yet they refuse to realize that such things could disappear on a whim if these sorts of things are voted in.
In terms of knowledge? Yes. In terms of wisdom, that's debatable. Youth have much greater access to information (obviously) but such access can also grossly skew one's perception of the world as well.

[QUOTE="Setsa"]Because 99% of them consider themselves "master trolls" because they repost **** people have scene over 9000 times before and then consider themselves cool for it. Also, because the vast majority of them just consider posting/screaming whilst online "YOU MAD BRAH!?!!?" as a witty and intellectual form of trolling someone :/themajormayor
