I guess we need to download as much as we can until then? It's actually kinda freaky, though, but at the same time it feels like one of those "the world is coming to an end" kind of thing except it's more believable and made to be a real threat in that way.

Last night in Computer and Technology forum, workers reported loud and unidentifiable noises emanating from a link posted by Kevin Holkeye. Many workers rallied against the link when it was discovered to be about Internet censorship.

"It was sensationalist ****," said Kaden Lac. "They're a bunch of complacent *****, too. How they're angered over this when they sit idly by about everything else that goes on in America is dumbfounding, eh."

Gracie Stereotypical was reportedly not responsible for this contention, according to other workers.

Unoriginal text here.
This is the kind of thing I was concerned about in this thread. I'd heard about this upcoming measure before. Now do you see why it's important to find work-arounds while we still can?

The language isn't important, firerain. Its the story that's being relayed. I don't know if its true, but if it is, its a big deal.

But this means they'll start doing things about it, though.

This happened to my brother as well, though they said it was because of "excessive bandwidth usage." And this was at a time when he was pirating pretty heavily, and after he stopped, they hadn't stopped shutting the internet off.

We changed ISPs regardless, but it wasn't any secret to me why they did it.

lol I don't know one IT guy who has paid for anything more than monthly antivirus protection lol. 

Yep.  This is a pretty big deal, regardless of wording.  If the situation is really going on then people NEED to get a fire lit under peoples asses.  It may be a slight bias but the information remains the truth as long as what they are proposing is accurate.  Name one media outlet that doesn't have bias in their articles.

You should of linked that thread you made, about how if the internet was censored, you would take hostages to fight the man.

I wish i could find that thread, it was great.

Also waiting for the UK/Europe version to be announced, after SoPA and the europe ActA seems like this will come here soon under a new name.

So would these companies be spying on your traffic? I mean, how would they know otherwise, assuming this isn't just p2p traffic they'll be monitoring.

So like...couldn't hosts rename files or use other obfuscation methods to mask the real file? (Assuming that they'll not be downloading any random file.)

Nobody is implying anything like that.  We shouldn't have to say it for anyone to get the hint.  The point is it shouldn't be legal for them to do it.
