[citation][nom]V8VENOM[/nom]DDoS ... yawn, yeah these dopes are really sophisticated -- the Robin Hoods of the world ... your "contribution" is doing nothing for anyone or to anyone anywhere. Most of the servers they claim to successfully attack are just goat servers anyway -- their entire purpose is to trap, locate, and prosecute those that initiate DDoS. This is junior grade stuff ... wait a few days and you'll see these dopes being rounded up on the News or living in China (safe zone) -- an that's punishment enough IMHO.You folks need to read more on what SOPA and PIPA is about, the actual legislation, not the jaded junk you see printed on Tom's or other web sites.SOPA and PIPA will be a huge deterrent to Piracy. Why you ask? Because original content companies now have ways (and the rights) to go after you, every single one of you. If you're a thief and steal games and movies and music all the time, then yeah, you don't want SOPA nor PIPA. But for the rest of society who's sick of having to pay for thieves and who's sick of hearing about companies not making movies and/or not making games because of thieves (about 70% of Tom's membership from what I can gather) then you'll support SOPA and PIPA.The ONLY reason Google don't want SOPA or PIPA is because their search engines can no longer go out to web servers and steal other people's original content and put it on their servers so that Google can make money off it. Content that isn't theirs and doesn't belong to them. What Google does now is consume HUGE amounts of bandwidth going around from web server to web server stealing information. Or let me put it in more tactile terms, how would you feel if someone entered your home every night and went thru all you personal belongings, folders, papers, statements, receipts and made copies of them, left, and put them in a public library for everyone to see?? This IS what Google does 24/7, this IS how Google makes money, off of YOUR information.Anonymous doesn't even understand the game, they are so lost they're actually working against their own "morality" system. What a bunch of retards.[/citation]
We don't like SOPA/PIPA because Tom's could be shut down without notice because of just one troll talking about something they shouldn't or maybe we will be shut down just because a company has a disagreement with us.
And not just Tom's, any other website. Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube, the list goes on... All of these sites only need but one troll and they may disappear. SOPA/PIPA are extremely wrong and infringe on all of our rights for freedom of speech. Piracy is not a right but really... Are you stupid enough to think that pirates won't find a way around this, maybe even before it is put into action? All they would need to do is start up a few darknets and stuff will be unaccountably running up again, you know you can't arrest someone using something that can't be accessed in order to track anything.
That's only one solution for the pirates. SOPA/PIPA will kill freedom on the internet and censure it like China yet it won't kill off piracy... Nay, it might even increase illegal activity.
