24 January Day or End of Internet

Post by Senna »

23 January all sites from actel will be shut down, like google, mozilla, yahoo, youtube, etc against protest vs PIPA

24 January is the day if PIPA is aproved or not, if yes

PIPA, if passed, will give U.S. corporations and the government the right to seek affirmative legal action with any website that they see as enabling copyright infringement whether of U.S. origin or not. Here is a breakdown of all that they will have the power to do.

-Force U.S. internet providers to block access to websites deemed as enablers of copyright infringement

-Seek legal action by suing search engines, blog sites, directories, or any site in general to have the black listed sites removed from their website

-Will be able to force advertising services on infringing websites, and those supporting of them, to remove them from their advertising accounts
-Companies will also have the power to sue any new websites that get started after this bill is passed, if they believe that they are not doing a good job of preventing infringement on your website

If want see more about see above

my question is, is spring completely 100% legal? models, programs used to code the engine, everyone have the licence of them? PIPA can affect even games, they will shut down any copyright stuff

the war of internet has been started

Please read the news. SOPA and PIPA have both been shelved. The original vote for PIPA was, yes, intended to take place on the 24th but it's been postponed. And you didn't need to start another thread for this, you already made one on the same subject yesterday.
