Nintendo, EA, Sony sponsor Internet censorship bill
It is repellent.
A Reddit user discovered a document [PDF] hosted by the Global Intellectual IP Center ("Global"), from before the introduction of SOPA, urging Congress to enact such a measure. Among those corporate sponsors is Nintendo, who is demonstrably and justifiably upset about piracy, and committed to taking all the wrong steps to stop it.
Other companies signing off in favor of this anti-"rogue site" legislation, in the interest of protecting their IP online include Sony -- Sony Electronics, Sony Music, and Sony Pictures, separately. EA is also listed, along with Rite Aid (what?) and Zippo (what?)
Okay, so you already know how we feel about this thing. If you feel the same way, you can write or call Congress. November 16 saw concerted "Stop Censorship" efforts (Tumblr black-barred everyone's dashboard in protest, for example), but you can, of course, still contact your representatives. If you're outside of the US, uh, cross your fingers and hope you don't lose all the US-based visitors to your sites.

He is correct in the constitution the first amendment clearly says we have freedom of speech and freedom of press we are allowed to have YouTube but websites that stream movies should get blocked

I clearly understand the piracy part... It is wrong to do so.. But man, i can just only imagine all the sites that will be blocked... So much money will be lost, and non gained. Yea stop sites that you can stream movies is understandable.. But dont stop sites like youtube.. We as ppl here in the US need to Unite and stop this ASAP.. but at the same time. What can we do.. Kinda sux.. Lets just hope for the best.
