>> No.8243459

Losing 4chan is really a minor inconvenience. I'd guess a lot of the chans will be hit hard. I don't really know how much people care/how much they matter.

I used to think I'd kill myself if this happened, but I've got a big enough backlog to tie me over until either I adapt or a replacement is found. No worries I guess, part of me would even be glad to see it happen.

>> No.8243460

You could just put in 4chan's IP into the address bar and come here. That negates the DNS entirely, the solution provided by SOPA is flawed and easily circumvented. there's no reason to worry regardless, since it won't get passed, and if it does, it would (hopefully) be vetoed.

It'll be just like when the nameserver used to go down every week!
In fact those were the best times, since only people capable of editing a text file were capable of getting on 4chan and the average age/IQ took a hike as a result.

I don't think there's a real solid date, it still has to get debated and amended for a few more days before even getting to the president's desk, who already promised to veto it. Likely action is it will pass back through legislation and get 2/3 override

Hey, that's where we're headed.

Anyway my mishmash of a sleeplessness-fuelled argument was that the government will likely use this to take down other sites in the name of "piracy", just as they use and try to pass ridiculous laws with names like the "Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act". As loli is brought into the limelight, more and more American soccer moms are starting to complain about it. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few loli sites taken down under the terms of SOPA, but for real motives other than anti-piracy.

I know it's technically a legal issue, but it really pisses me off that the government are passing and using laws for the sake of a few fat cat corporations. It's scary how much control the private sector has over the American government.

What do you mean by normalfags? If you are talking about the mass of people that jus use facebook and reddit, and buy their music from iTunes, probably nothing.

For /a/ or /v/ tier normalfags? They are definitely not getting animes, videogames or music through link sharing and that stuff.

>> No.8243703

>>8243665
Its probably not that strict since its hard to make it that strict without getting booted out for being unconstitutional. I effects things like piratebay mostly, since thats nearly exclusively used for piracy.

but its not very effective, all the bill does is say that DNS entries be redirected if a site is being sued. That's easy to circumvent simply by either knowing the site's IP and thus bypassing the DNS, or using a DNS server not effected by the law.

It will affect torrenting/downloading Your Shit For Free, video game/anime/movie/music streaming (I would believe this includes video sites such as Youtube), shit like that.
