Not at all. This will do nothing for piracy (seriously, it's already able to be bypassed pretty easily) and the entertainment industry knows it. They just want the authority to shut down sites as they please. They already use the DMCA to wrongfully take down things they don't like (Such as Viacom's copyright claims on…

I know. They're not even trying to hide it. I mean, fuck, the ones that know what the hell they're talking about advised that the group needed to bring in experts to discuss what this bill will do and the corrupt idiots that support SOPA outright called it a waste of time. It's sickening how outnumbered the awesome…

Yes, it would stop these pirates sites...

Less than would be lost if SOPA passes. If SOPA passes, it's a very real possibility that sites like YouTube would either be shut down with the new powers granted to the DOJ and the entertainment industry or have to more or less shut themselves down to avoid running afoul of SOPA. Under the bill, Youtube could…

Not really. They're actively trying to do their best to avoid that. The few reps that understand what this will do have recommended consulting with actual internet experts and the corrupt idiots that've been bought off to pass this outright called it a waste of time. It's sickening.

Even if that figure is true, 1 download does NOT equal 1 lost sale. How many of those 90% would have purchased it if they couldn't pirate it? How many of those 90% purchased it after pirating it and realizing it's a great game? How many of those 90% recommended it to friends that then purchased it, when they wouldn't…

The biggest problem actually is that this won't stop ANY piracy. The means to bypass it already exist. Yet the other massive collateral damage that they seem to think is acceptable as long as they get the pirates (which we just went over won't work) will still be a factor. There's a reason almost everyone that opposes…

And there are already tools (such as Firefox and Chrome add-ons) that'll bypass it automatically. The one I specifically saw the week of the markup just automatically used other DNS servers that weren't blocked to the user's location.

$$$$$$$$

I don't care if they understand why we think it's bad but still support it. Because quite simply, if they did understand, they wouldn't support it. There's NO upside to this bill. Tools to circumvent the type of DNS blocking SOPA would implement ALREADY EXIST! So will it do anything at all to stop piracy? No. That's…

Hearted for MS Paint Adventures!

Oh. I thought you were trying to say it like "Well this was offered previously while Paul was still there (to only new orders), so this isn't anything special", like the sentiment a lot of people are complaining about here, so I was clarifying there is a difference between the two offers and they are trying to do…

No, that was the original discount. They're now offering to extend it to everyone, which is one of the things Dave was so pissed about initially.

That's because they're trolling people to make them think he still has the account. @OceanDeepSea IS @OceanStratagy. It's not a long standing account. It's the same one with all the same tweets that he started with as @OceanMarketting and then changed to Stratagy.

Wrong account. The asswipe tried to hide and changed it again, with it naturally getting grabbed almost immediately. His new real account is @OceanDeepSea.

That's not him. He keeps trying to run and change his Twitter name, and every time he does, someone scoops it up (which makes it REALLY stupid, as it just makes him look even worse with the things they're saying on what people previously knew to be his confirmed account). His real account is now at @OceanDeepSea.

He's been claiming nothing but connections and power and making threats he can't back up. If he's the one that said it, I'd say there's a 95% chance he's full of shit

Replying mostly to approve, but if you are the real new guy in the position, you've certainly got your work cut out for you thanks to this idiot. Good luck.

Apparently, he's jumped handles again and that one was scooped up by someone making yet another troll / parody account. His real account is now @OceanDeepSea.

Except not really. He was the fucking moron that tried to impersonate someone else. And in doing so, provided them with the email address, which they kind of needed to check up on to find out who the hell it was. It just so happened to lead them right to this douchebag's roid diaries. Seriously. Don't defend this…
