Well since my stepdad works directly with the U.S. Government where he ships prisoners from different countries around the world, I already notified him of this so I believe that he already contacted my local U.S. Representative by now. I also already notified some other friends of mine about this as well, the only thing we can do is spread the word and hopefully something will be done.
You do realize that you're in favor of the U.S. Government blacklisting websites like this one right? The SOPA bill is so broad and so vague that IT WILL CRIPPLE THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE INTERNET! You're one of those fools that wants society to be the way it was in the 80's and 90's, back when we didn't have Internet. Back where we were limited to what content we could watch via Television and now with the Internet already in place we can choose what we want to listen to and watch.
Did you know that any website that has foreign servers that you can already now use has the potential to be blacklisted from the U.S. Government If SOPA passes? Serebii.net's server is from the U.K. and according to the Government we can't have Americans surfing through websites with British Servers now do we? What about Website Servers from other countries like Japan where WPM gets some of his Pokemon info from, the U.S. Government would be able to blacklist those sites as well.
With the way SOPA is watered down, EVERY WEBSITE THAT EVERY AMERICAN IS ALREADY ABLE TO USE WILL BE REGION LOCKED. The Pokemon franchise would die in the U.S. If the Government gets their way with SOPA and much more, this also effects the Video Game Industry in the way they distribute content for their games. People won't be able to know what game is good or not cause those sites would probably already be blacklisted by the Government. So instead that helps the Video Game Magazine Industry where we waste more ink and paper with content that tells us what's good and what's bad, not saying that the Magazine Industry is bad but hopefully you know what I mean.
The next House Judiciary Committee vote on SOPA will be held next Wednesday on December 21st, they aren't going to wait after the Holidays they want this thing passed pronto. That still gives us time to petition against this bill, of course Zyflair is in favor of wanting PokeBeach to get shutdown by the Government because WPM is using content from Japanese Servers to get info that we need to know about the Pokemon Universe. So yeah like I said If SOPA passes then you can kiss Pokemon and everything you love about the Internet goodbye.
