    Basically, it's a bill that would give the gov. the ability to shut down any site that has any copyrighted material used without permission

    edit: I added the shorter, 3 minute vid :D

    Congress is up to vote on a bill that will censor the internet under the false title of "copyright protection"

    If this "copyright protection" bill was passed 10 years ago, we wouldn't have websites like Youtube, Wikipedia, Craigslist, Reddit, etc etc. the internet would be like TV is now. We would only see what "THEY" want us to see. These site are doing a "blackout" to raise awareness to this issue, and show people what it would be like without the free internet.

    I think I have that right.

    If I accidentally posted something copyrighted on here, TW would be shut down, and all of our lives would come crashing down

    Turns out that the black out page was a redirect. I managed to hit wiki for something and the page loaded then went to the black out page. I hit the back button then stopped the page as it was loading. Worked for me.

    Couldn't this directly effect TW in a big way.
    This is serious,
    In a nutshell, if passed, website (TW) owners can be held liable for any copyright infringements because of content posted by its members! So, Joe forum member has some great video cam footage from his weekend wheelin. He dubs in a little AC/DC "Back in Black" in the background and innocently posts it on his favorite discussion forum. The copyright holder gets wind of this and files a lawsuit against the website owner who in turns goes out of business in the process of defending themselves from something that they had no hand in.:eek:
    Yea, TW would change as we know it.
    (Some of the example content borrowed from another member based thread site, they sumed it up perfect)

    Just look at one of many threads with material like that.
    bob could get shut down for any of our many music threads.

    Which is why people need to pay attention to politics more and not just around election time but actually watch it and speak up about what the do or do not like.
