Who thinks CA.com should join the SOPA Blackout on 1/18?

Well the hypothetical I mentioned wasn't an act of "piracy" in the sense that most people use it, but trespassing and taking something by force (different kinds of force)

OK...I started reading the initial post (way too long by the way) and then just lost interest...I figured the thread went on a bender at some point.

yea, it did... as does anything with politics, lol.. but i still think its a good idea for the site to participate in the SOPA shutdown protest on the 18th

 

[Pborcich 10+ year member]

Yes its gotten warped quite a bit but the message is we should stand up and fight for our rights

Down4sound will be participating and im 95% sure i can convince andrew to participate with CSCO

I hope you guys realize that if it passes CA.com will be on a list for shutdown eventually...

All those shared images on here... the funny lol cats and gifs and all that stuff

does CA.com own the copyright? No therefore its piracy and the CA.com Owner and admins will be held responsible... fined.. and shutdown

because even on a forum website the owner will be soley responsible for every word/picture/anything WE the user post.

these guys are catching so much **** there is a good chance this bill will get modified or dropped. Here's a link White House on SOPA | Obama Administration | Stop Online Piracy Act | Mediaite

Yup

CSCO

D4S

SPListings

And a few smaller nonrelated car audio sites have all joined the cause

Still trying to get this site to join in

Messaged Steve meade as well as ant from CACO to try and get them to join in the cause

Gotta fight for your freedoms or they get taken

I had an arguement last night with a friend that really put this in perspective...

they had no idea that its their RIGHT to have the internet the way it currently is

ITS YOUR ******* CONSITUTIONAL RIGHT

ITS A FREEDOM TO HAVE THE INTERNET THIS WAY

AND YOU ***** ARE WILLING TO HAVE THAT FREEDOM THAT RIGHT SIGNED AWAY BECAUSE YOUR WAYY TO ******* COMFORTABLE AND THINK THIS **** WILL NEVER AFFECT YOU
