Subject: SOPA and its Effect on the Gaming Community

We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

Many of us already know what this US bill is intended to do, and I believe the impact on this community in specific in direct result to the passing of the Stop Online Piracy Act could be absolutely disastrous. Bungie's not only posted on their homepage about it, but countless others are taking a stand including Epic Games, Red 5 Studios, and Riot Games. SOPA will effect widespread control over privileges and access of countless pieces of content for almost every single internet user.

What is the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)?

Why Gamers Should Be Worried About SOPA

I urge you to contact your representatives in United States Congress and the Senate to oppose such a bill, for this community and many others are in serious jeopardy.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Dude, there's like one big -blam!- thread right here on the 1st page...use it.


Huh. Thanks, I went through the list of threads around four times, must've missed it. Either way, thought counts. I'll head on over ASAP. Use anything in this thread as necessary, obviously.
