Warning: This is a General statement set at a general population of the crowd topic and not at any specific individuals though a few of you may find yourself right in the area I am talking about.

First off again, I dont support any of these bills except maybe OPEN. However, You guys need to be real with yourselfs. Come to the fact that, Piracy is indeed wrong, and its illegal and it always has been, its not just not being illegal. Sites like this is illegal, regardless of the reason here, we are all in the wrong, everyone here, the government, people who download stuff that has copy-write (I know I do.). None of us are total victims we all played a part in this and we are ALL in the wrong. I dont doubt this is more about Power than Piracy, I dont doubt that at all.

You can play the blame game all you want, but at least be honest with yourselves on what exactly is going on here. People work tirelessly around the clock to bring you these anime, mangas, Jdramas etc etc, just because you cant afford it doesnt make it any less wrong to pirate it or to share it. While I dont condon the sudden action of closing megauplod, I also dont condone see the people who did it as villainous because they have every right to do so the law says so. I know if I made my living of an Anime I wouldnt want to lose profits that support me because people dont want to pay for the product. These guys are not rich, the creators are not rich, the companies are but they are not the creators. They live off this stuff, their lifes work. Please think about all this the next time you are about to type out how unfair this all is, before you imply you have done nothing wrong, before you throw blame on an entire country and not yourself. This is how we got into this situation in the first place, by acting like that.

If I were these File share sites I would be afraid too, I would change the rules around as well. They have a terms of use and agreement, Pretty sure none of you read it (except maybe a few of you.), when you brake it they have every right to do what they need to do to set you right. I know a lot of you dont want to hear any of this, there will more than likely be a few of you that will try to contest my statements. I have downloaded anime, Manga, a few games, Music, Movies. I am part of the problem, I am a small chunk of the reason this situation is here now. I realize this already, when will you guys?

However as it has indeed been said the only thing we can do is work against ACTA (and for US Citizens CPACT (this is just as important.)) and hope to continue on as a community in hopefully a safe manner.

oh no!the end is near!damn the people who proposed this...

[lon3lyh3art]

2012... so it has started. Well I heard that SOPA died so I hope that the other filehosting sites come back especially MU D: Seriously, why did they have to take something so precious to us T.T I just want to meet them upfront and slap them silly those who made the stupid bill :L Well I can't do anything else but complain so I would probably just hope for the best. LIVE ON OS!!!

[ryuscaine]

well now... this sounds like a downward spiral of the internet... this sucks

[Junya]

hey, what if we buy an anime an upload it here? At least DVD or blu ray anime have a better quality and it hasnt censored as the television version.

[DacKeith]

If SOPA and PIPA was stopped/ shelved then why MU and other uploading sites are still down?

[xkorenmaix]

SOPA and PIPA may be gone but they have an Another Evil Sibling Called ACTA. ACTA was passed. Seems that they used SOPA and PIPA as a distraction so that we all wouldnt notice it. if you dont know what ACTA is please Read about it now.

for those who dont to like to read heres a little explaination.

Man lots of stuff has happened in such a short amount of time but oh well hopefully everything will be back to normal soon I guess for now we wait and see

[UrzuZero]

If SOPA and PIPA was stopped/ shelved then why MU and other uploading sites are still down?

MU going down didnt have anything to do with SOPA/PIPA (except the timing), MU was a site full of Pirated Content, the FBI have been working to take it down for years (they talking about taking it down A LONG time ago). The other sites arnt down (as in they were not taken down.), they just dont want to end up the same way as Megaupload so they are taking precautions to avoid legal trouble.

OS is the only site left that has online streaming animes. Other sites are all just dead links! I'm scared to think of what happens next!

Sorry, this is incorrect information. I doublechecked. But I will not name which websites are still streaming anime because I don't think it's fair to promote other sites on here. One of them is pretty famous in the anime watching community though. (Not trying to antagonize, by the way, just don't want people thinking this is true when in fact it is not.)

[dexter453]

guys! they're starting to remove anime sites!!! HOLD THE OS FORT!

[azukare]

sometimes we need to pass terrible laws and rules just to find out how bad they are. They can act as a well-established warning to future generations, "Don't make this mistake." If it really is that bad and passes, it'll be reverted soon enough and then we'll have a great precedent for the future.

I know that sounds kind of sad-masochistic, but just remember the internet is only about 20 years old. That's nothing in legal terms. If this doesn't pass now then surely something like it will eventually.

[jpt112190]

*sigh...* man, if this continues, this planet will be so boring to live on...

[daizo]

I just don't get it. Internet was made as a universal network everyone could acces and no-one could control but now because some miljonairs wanne have even more money and try to contol it making everyone suffer. I just hate it, luckely Holland is quit tollerant on the matter, but thats only a verry smal part of the world. I sure hope some of those buisnesmen get some sort of revelation and forget about controling the internet or everyone is bothered by it.

[UrzuZero]

guys! they're starting to remove anime sites!!! HOLD THE OS FORT!

The sites are not being removed, just being removed from google immediate search, all the links can be seen at the omited links result link at the bottom of the search page. Your actions are causing un-needed panic @__@. If you are going to give a story please give the whole story so that you do not confuse everyone else and cause like I state earlier, un-needed panic. There are not gunning for O-S (directly) there is no call to arms. This is not a war between the Copywrite Police and O-S.

[vocaloid123]

I completely DISAGREE with SOPA/PIPA... Well, I just have to accept it... :(

[UrzuZero]

You dont have to accept it, Keeping Fighting it. The moment that people start to give up is the moment that it is all over. Sure we may have a small break now but this is far from over.

[quadcored]

@vocaloid123, you will just accept it without doing anything? *Facepalm*
Its like giving up on a race without starting your engine.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing
