lifted_silverado Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Wont be a joke when/if they actually take away sites that could decline profits for another company. If it passes you will no longer be able to buy stuff used through craigslist, ebay, any other place where it can be bought cheaper than the actual manufacturer. This leads to the higher prices because tou will be forced to pay whatever they feel ok, no more competitive pricing But as HT said this style protest will not work. Raising awareness could but shutting down websites for a day isnt gonna create too much influence Edited January 16, 2012 by lifted_silverado Quote Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year.

Raising awareness could but shutting down websites for a day isnt gonna create too much influence IMO... it really depends. i think a huge number of people, if they learned what this bill actually meant, and how it would affect them, would be PISSED about it. But, how do we raise awareness on a large scale, and get people to actually pay attention. i'm all ears for better ideas here guys...

TeamHT Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 A lot of people know about SOPA. I mean, the people who would be affected are people who go to eBay and Craigslist...wait...its listed on the site. Also, I deleted my Facebook months ago and havent looked back. Many others as well. And is Facebook shutting down on the 18th? Didn't think so, so chasing after the function seems a long way around trying to change the perception. Have you donated? Called your state representatives? Made awareness to your district? You know...talk to the people who will actually be voting in on the matter? Nope...I'm just trying to shut down the internet for a day.

TeamHT Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ha ha. Actually, I have. And do. Sounds like you're one of those simpletons who assume simply because I disagree with you, I must not care. Because only people who do stupid things like not go on the internet for a day actually care, lol. Good luck with all that, lol. I'd post more but I just don't care about my country or your ability to log onto Facebook Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
