SOPA AND PIPA ALERT!!!!

  There have been a big issue in cyber in whole world since yesterday, January 18, 2012 regarding the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act). SOPA and PIPA are for the protection of copyrights of the owner to avoid piracy in the internet to simplify, they are for Anti-Online Piracy.

    Basically, SOPA and PIPA are to protect copyright of the  creators and obviously, there have been users who uploading illegal content and unauthorized files which is considered as criminality. Google and Wikipedia are one of the popular sites that protested against the censorship or anti-piracy legislation  from the SOPA and PIPA that are aiming to stop online piracy on American intellectual property. If these acts passed, there's the fact we loose popular and useful sites such as Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and more. Based on our research, Facebook is also considered as one of the websites that provides piracy such an illegal uploads which is possibly to be block by the law.

Let's save Facebook, and our game everyone! SUPPORT PIPA!!! KILL SOPA!! DRINK SOPA LIKE SODA!!!! EVERYONE LOVES SODA, BUT SODA GIVES US BAD HEALTH! AND MAKE US OBESE!!!!!! SO TREAT SOPA AS SODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Mr. Zuckerberg is right. The acts are not the answer to stop the piracy. Though,  the copy right holders already have the ability to remove infringing material from the Internet. As far as I know, it is called Digital Millennium Copyright. One of the example is YouTube. Lots of videos which are removed because of the copyright holder claims the media you have been uploaded and there is no way that YouTube would approve your video.
    Remember, most of the popular sites such as Yahoo: where we usually make our e-mail adress, Google: that has the free weblog called blogger/blogspot, Facebook: where we play Ameba Pico and more are founded in United States and Ameba Pico is a game from Cyber Agent AMERICA which could possibly affect by the acts since SOPA and PIPA are made by the lawmakers of U.S.A. If SOPA and PIPA passed, facebook can be blocked. How about the Ameba Pico users who registered their account through Facebook? Obviously, we are affected and possibly can't play the game. How about the money we spent for the game? Remember, it is impossible to take it back. Then. how about the friends we met through cyber?  How we could find them again? What will happen now???

NO YAHOO + NO FACEBOOK + NO PICO = almost the whole world suicide
NO YAHOO + NO BLOGSPOT = Half of the world suicide
don't you think, we, the gamers can be affected as well?
