"I've decided to write about what I've been writing about on that
blog for the last few days, the secret treaty called the "Trans-Pacific Partnership", which will
basically force US to adopt copyright laws so broad and corrupt that it will make SOPA look
nice. Under the law, the ISP's are required to A) filter all communications looking for possible
or alleged infringement, and then they are forced to hand it over to the government. The
government would then look through it looking for possible infringement. The problem with
this is that the government can then say that this site needs to be taken down to google and
other similar sites, force ISPS to filter it out, and worse. No actual proof is required that the
transmission or site is actually infringing on something, just one infringing link, or the
assurance that the site contains lots of infringing links. Also temporary copy infringement, is
not exempt to this. Every time someone watches a video on YouTube, 1000's of temporary
copies are created by the streaming process. The ISP would be forced to use deep packet
inspection to find these and if one of these temporary copies is a YouTube packet that is part
of a youtube video stream that has one "alleged" infringement on it, the person watching the
video could get arrested, and sued, because the ISP is forced to tell the "alleged" copyright
holder. The most recent RIAA case defendant had to pay $22,500 dollars per songs for
illegally downloading only 30 songs, each only 99 cents each... Imagine that multiplied by
1000 for listening to a video on YouTube where video game footage is overlayed with
copyrighted music, because of the 1000's of temporary copies produced on the persons
HDD, all caught by the ISP. That's $22,500,000 dollars for watching a video!
Under this, there is an almost certain chance YouTube will be shut down. Youtube is filled with
infringing videos uploading copyrighted music. At least a few million. But the other video types
uploaded to youtube, such as video game lets plays, walkthroughs, etc, could all be sources of
"alleged" infringement, due to the fact that many videos showing off games are put under fair
use, which TPP seems to be made to eliminate. But even worse, since the government simply
has to say a site is filled with infringing links, a lot of sites will be targeted under this. Expect all
the big file sharing hosts like 4shared, mediafire, etc to be shut down first. They have tons of
copyrighted material on them, and many people keep assuming they profit off pirated files
because they allow people to buy premium accounts for more upload space, even though the
pirated files are all tiny files, all tiny portions of an archive, split into 200 parts with 200 accounts
registered to upload a file. There is no way sites like this are profiting off of files uploaded to
their free account due to the fact that ads on these sites are part of every download, no
matter how legal."
It's important to talk to your senators NOW. Let them hear your voice. Tell them you can't
stand what this treaty is doing and that that your against it, and they should not vote for it.
It will shut down 90% of the known internet. This is really important, you can do something
about this... It is due for ratification soon, by the end of the year.... Get to work, youtubers!
Note, to get around the filtering they plan, you can use the EFF's plugin, HTTPS everywhere,
to force your browser (FireFox Only) to use the Encrypted HTTPS format. This should (in theory)
prevent the ISP's from illegally reading your traffic (deep packet filtering) under the TPP to find
alleged copyright material some 2 bit fake copyright holder claims you are distributing when your
not. These things can be bypassed. In case this gets passed make sure to do this!

This idiot is complaining about people "buying this junk" (where junk is violent games AGAIN), and claims that that is the problem and we need to stop this "Depravity". Like adults buying "Uber violent" games like Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Doom, Hexen, Jedi Knight and other "SUPER Violent Killing games" which the media keeps on scapegoating as the cause of Newtown is depravity now? None of those gamers are "uber violent". But the media keeps on quoting features from 1 or 2 super violent games like Postal 1-3 and GTA and keeps on saying "most games" are like this so you get idiots like this who think that they are....
"This is pornography with violence being the subject matter. Stop this type of violence. Young minds do not know how to assimilate this mayhem. It is being shown as popular, when it is not. This trash media thrives on the destruction of societal values. Please stop them NOW!"
Another idiot calling violent games "trash" AGAIN... Asking this "TRASH" to be stopped and (assumingly) their Creators as well because this person FAILS to even mention WHO should be stopped. Another brainwashed fucking idiot.
"It is called indoctrination to blunt the young so that they will be numb when they see death or are apart of it. It is going on in the radical jihad nations. If these video games are not stopped we are going to see more school and other place killings.Indoctrination is not free speech it is like stoking a fire and hoping it won't burn but it does."
Ok... So violent games are indoctrination now... Do they make gamers "DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY FUCKING MAGGOT <insert racial slur here> FUCKNUT"... No. Do they sleep deprive people.. Not in normal circumstances... Do they wake you up at 4 am every day after being put to bed at 2 am. No... Do they take the players completely out of their normal life 100% of the time so all they can do is be indoctrinated. NO... Do they do ANYTHING REAL INDOCTRINATION like in Military training camps do.. NO. Because they can't.. Violent games can't train anyone.. That requires. 1) Abuse 2) Intimidation 3) Indocrination 4) Removal from normal life and complete
isolation from it. 5) Constant drills, sleep depravation and exhaustion. Games do NONE of this. Who ever is comparing Indoctrination to games has probably been brainwashed to do so and is another fucking brainwashed asshole.
"Violence in the media is what is desensitizing our culture. Hollywood and msm don't want to take any responsibility for what they market as entertainment - violence for violence sake- they line their pockets at the expense of our youth. They stand by abortion Dr.s as "choice" yet save the baby whales.... They assuage their guilt by "social activism" that suits their self aggrandizing persona"
Even though I proved at the beginning of this article the Industry doesn't sell to kids, this idiot goes on and claims violent games are "desensitizing our culture" to violence I assume, but fails to even what they are desensitizing the culture to, Blames hollywood, claims they are making money off of kids, blah, blah, blah, Fuck you! They claim Hollywood supports abortion, so therefore so must gamers and game companies now! Right? Right? Isn't this what this fucking shithole is implying. So now abortion is something gamers and game companies support... We're all a bunch of fucking toddler torturing baby killers!!!! OH NOES!!!! No proof whatsoever for such an allegation of pure bullshit is there? Nope. NOT ONE SHRED....
"Free speech is only free when it is harmless. You can not do something without consequences if you hurt someone. These type of things, video games, videos etc, that are promoting violence like this one should not be permitted. These things are giving bad ideas to others to be copy cats and the promotion is giving the wrong message like if it is OK to do those kind of things to others. GOD HELP US. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO WILLING TO DO OTHERS HARM, AND THEN PROMOTE IT AS HARMLESS TOO. SICK."
Another bullshit claim by an idiot... Saying free speech should not apply if something is called "non harmless" (probably by an idiot because only idiots call violent games harmful...) He then claims violent games cause "copy cat" murders and more BS.... What an idiot.. But he's nothing compared to the next moronic turd...
"We cannot afford any more legislation that takes away liberties. People need to step up and make these gamers stop the gore by protest and boycot. Maybe their backgrounds need to be checked to make sure they are not themselves terrorists."
Ok... So were school shooters (us gamers that is), child molesters, and worse... But this idiot dares to claim that "gamers" are "terrorists" now... One step away from blaming "Gamers" for the Bombings in boston no doubt... I quote: "Maybe their backgrounds need to be checked to make sure they are not themselves terrorists.". Does this idiot REALLY believe gamers are terrorists? Apparently so. So now we, game manufacturers and Terorrists (we are all of the above now) need to be "Boycotted". What a fucking moron. Anyone who DARES to equate "Gamers" to "Terrorists" is a fucking idiot... Nothing more to say... Just hope this doesn't spread to more morons who believe everything they hear like 99% of the dumbfuck population of this Country after a Terrorist attack done by NON GAMERS.
"There needs to be a better online system to monitor not only those who created this offensive video game, but also those monsters involved in child porn, drug distribution, etc. We need to prosecute those who are inhumane. "
Another moron doing the following A) Saying game manufacturers should be monitored like Child Porn creators. B) Implying Child porn is caused by violent gamers like that boykin moron I attacked earlier in the year... What an Idiot...
"These DAMAGED people who put this TRASH out for everyone to see are just as DAMAGED as these two terrorists. Three PD's who gets three public defenders,stop wasting taxpayers money and put him out of his misery...."
Whoops. Not two sentences later and someone else DARES to blame the Terrorist attacks in Boston on VIOLENT GAMES! What a fucking moron... And also calls for the execution of whoever "him" is... Could be anyone...
"Personally....I think the game makers should be added to the terrorist watch list."
Another moron calling game makers "terrorists" DARING to claim we should be put on a "Terrorist" watch list for WHAT? We didn't do the fucking bombing. 2 RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS from the middle east did. WTF? How are we "terrorists". These fucking turds can't give a straight answer can they?
"I take it they are making money on it .. a class action lawsuit by the victims would be good .. .hit them in the pocketbook .. make them defend their sick game."
Another moron daring to claim that Parents should file a class action lawsuit against the makers of this "sick game", not even stating what "sick game" it is!!!! It could be any fucking game this moron finds "sick".... Any!!! Any!!! Another Litigational loser..
Out of 144 stupid comments attacking violent games, only 3 tried to link them to the Boston Bombings, but about 17 more spread bullshit about Gamers, Gaming Companies, and Violent games.. Complete bullshit like this fuels censorship... It's disgusting.. But what is even more disgusting, is we have "Lowlifes" so paranoid that they must find a scapegoat for a TERRORIST ACT that has a Suspect in Custody with Charges filed against him, but that isn't good enough for them.. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's the violent gamer child molesting Satanic Toaster Terrorists!!!" (Gamers).... It's our fault... More bullshit from assholes on the internet. People should NOT BE SCAPEGOATGING games AND Gamers for something they did not do. WE are NOT terrorists, we should NOT be put on "Terror" watch lists... It's all bullshit...
