Gaming's Reaction to SOPA |
Listed in: News Tags: e3, ESA, mojang, moviebob, pipa, red5, reddit, robert chipman, sopa, Wikipedia
The SOPA Blackout has to be one of the biggest and strongest days of protest's I've ever seen in the history of man. This isn't the first 21st century protest as we've seen what has happened in previous years with Occupy Wall Street and several Middle Eastern countries rising up against their terrible leaderships. Here are sites that matter, taking charge and showing what the world would be like under the constrictive gaze of a government.
The biggest turn for gaming happened when Red5 Games, creators of the MMO Firefall ditched E3. While some of you may snort and shrug, if you didn't know, E3 is handled by the ESA who are in full support for the SOPA and PIPA legislation hoping to be passed next week. Red5 backed out of the event entirely after the following video was posted about the way SOPA and PIPA could restrict the reviewing and creation of original content even on video game sites:
E3 and ESA are actually funded by large membership fees from big gaming companies who they lobby for. While I think it's great to have a video game lobby (only because almost every other industry does and we still need respectable pulling power), I think their support is completely unfounded and confusing considering the broadness and terrible nature of the bill. The ESA made a statement yesterday morning about the current situation saying they "understand the importance of both technological innovation and content protection, and do not believe the two are mutually exclusive." They also went on to claim that 'Rogue Websites' are those which are "singularly devoted to profiting from their blatant illegal piracy," - which in it's exact wording, is missing from the PIPA and SOPA bills.
The ESA mentioned that with Red5 pulling out they are a tiny bit concerned for what other companies might do in the wake of SOPA. Big internet favourites such as Google, Twitter, Wikipedia and Reddit all made a stand over the past 24 hours against the PIPA and SOPA bills. But where do we go from here? What do you think is the next big step?

You are a faggot.
And you are a stupid asshole.
And you probably are a virgin living in his mother's basement. But probably in his mother's pussy.
Okay, see what I did there? I cussed you for no reason. This site has gone to absolute shit. I used to visit it when the PSP was wealthy in homebrew, but now this site is healthy with faggots like you that infest it like STD's in your standard prostitute, like your mother.

This will happen no matter how much you protest. America still think they own the world and can't give two shits what affect it does to companies outside their boarders. Didnt they already arrest some guys in New Zeland? Pathetic. They made up some bogus money laundering charge.
