Title: Protect IP Act = S.978 on steroids
Post by: AnCap Dave on October 27, 2011, 04:36:50 PM
So apparently this bill went through the Senate and is now being rushed through Congress.

Here's a video someone in the video game community put up on the subject:

Here (http://www.scribd.com/doc/70419349/E-PARASITES-Act) is the bill itself. It's 79 pages.

Quote from: some idiots from Congress
To promote prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation by combating the theft of U.S. property, and for other purposes

read: to ruin initiative and creativity in the gaming world (and greater interwebz), and we're pork-barreling some stuff under this act, so no one will notice the waste (the other purposes part).

yeah, I got to read it. didn't need to g far to realize I don't like it.
