Hilarious: “Mark Begich (D - AK)? His site’s down completely. Barbara Boxer (D - CA)? Her is loading like it’s hosted on a Palm Pilot.

Been blowing FB up with shit about this all day. Really, if either of these bills get passed you can kiss Shift518 (and pretty much any other forum of any kind), reddit, facebook, youtube, google, etc. etc. goodbye. Do as Shady said and sign the petitions and call our senators. Hell, write them a letter and send it through snail mail. ---

Desperate attempt on the government’s part to reduce the unemployment rate. Without sites like these, people might have to shut down their PCs and actually start looking harder for their destined career. ---

Without sites like these, people might have to shut down their PCs and actually start looking harder for their destined career. It would actually put many software and technology companies out of business, increasing the unemployment rate. It is a desperate attempt by the film and music industries (who lobbied $94 million in support of these laws) to stop piracy ---

They don’t have to shut anything down, I think the bill holds ISP responsible, so it will get blocked by your ISP. ---

There will alot of underground networks for sure. It’s already going on, i mean we have had thousands of hackers gather at meetings that were busted by the feds plenty of times since the 90’s even. You wont openly find websites about real hacking (credit card hacks / gov hacks) so this will be the same thing but for alot more ---
