If I understand correctly, this is just a frivolous and fruitless venture on their parts.

Threatening, or not, there's no shortage of corporate scumbags looking to fuck around with the free internet for profit.

Sounds cool and a little unsettling at the same time, like the idea of blocking child porn, but the internet aught to remain free leaving those who would look to pirate free to do so - personally I would rather have a massive content store that we could just pay a flat subscription fee to and download all day long - Wake up MPAA and RIAA the opportunities continue to pass you by....old farts.

I don't understand how this is legal, for one, and I also do not believe that Google would support this without being compensated for their lost ad revenue. But yeah, nothing will change except the companies will spend more money and raise their prices, thus driving more users to discover alternate sources. Wake up!

These companies already have more money than they need. It has nothing to do with piracy, it has everything to do with control. They don't care about you downloading Britney Spears songs and Kill Bill movies, those things just entertain us all from the truth. The reason they want the power to shutdown all sorts of websites is because of the human awakening taking place because of the internet. Documentaries and whatnot all over youtube explaining in detail things like fractional reserve banking, central banking and 9/11 truths, truths about kony 2012 and all the b/s wars from Afghanistan to Iraq to Libya and Syria. The ideas such as the possibility of a faked alien invasion to scare people and the drones killing thousands of innocents in other sovereign countries like Pakistan. Trust me, at the end of the day they totally realize that we pirates aren't going to buy even 5% of all the shit we download, its just being used as the scapegoat, they aren't nearly as dumb as they let on lol... Basically, the legislation passed is VERY wide, meaning they want to give the power to corporations themselves to take down anything they don't like with just the slightest reason in doing so eg., a youtube video with a 30 second clip used for education purposes.... Go ahead tell me I'm crazy

Its all about money, and making the richer richer while making the poor poorer.

There are some people in the world who have wealth we cannot even imagine. Why do individuals even need billions of dollars? What could they possibly buy with that money? And what happens if the currency collapses? Will that wealth still be worth anything, or would it just be useless bits of paper?
