" Please watch this video here [
[link] a new bill that if passed will ruin an entire industry. The video is long but explains the whole thing in detail.
I hate spreading stuff like this, but I genuinely think it's important. The bill would destroy even established, popular companies such as The Escapist Magazine and Machinima, along with countless wikis, information sites, and YouTube gamers such as TobyGames and Criken. I don't know about you guys, but these people and companies are responsible for practically selling me a whole lot of games. Because of TobyGames, I've bought Assassin's Creed II, Portal 2, Terraria, and Fallout:New Vegas. Criken made me want to buy (and for some, actually buy) Left4Dead 1 and 2, Dead Space 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and Saints Row 2. I imagine a whole lot of you have bought games because you've seen reviews or gameplay online; am I right?
Heck, even things like Toby Turner's Literal game/movie trailers would not be allowed, even though trailers are in the public domain and he changes them so much that everything but the footage is his own.
This is just ridiculous, and it's the result of our congresspeople being grossly misinformed. Follow the link in the description of that video to send a letter to congress (or something). We need to do our best to make a difference here. "

"I'm not sure, but not only movie, TV shows, Video Games, Karaoke, and other such things, what about LIVESTREAMING? Displaying a copyrighted program, such as photoshop, even though you are doing something like drawing, would still fall under this law because the program is 'copyright'. ALL that is coppyrighted is the DATA FILES of the program, and unless I'm showing you the data lines, its legal to stream- but if this passes, no more streaming for anyone! That sucks."

I've slept with hundreds of books in my life. I enjoy myself with them, toss them away when they bore me, sell them. And I'm not ashamed of it at all.

In the darkness of the city, everyone sleeps. Looking for a good tomorrow or avoiding a bad yesterday.
One day you'll be sitting in your house feeling all safe and secure and then you'll look over and I'll be there....DOIN' STUFF.
