Regardless of your stance on piracy, I loathe it, this not a precedent you want set. While it may start with sites that the greater majority would agree on, it will not end there and you will see removal of sites based on anything that goes against the stance of the governing board.

You can't pick and choose when to censor speech as sooner or later all speech is censored.



Around the Network

Some people seem not get why peopel are against this. It's not about piracy, every true gamer should now it's bad, it's about censoring our internet freedom. Sure, piracy sites will be blocked, but will it end here? Next step, pedophile sites, then comes racism sites...until the government starts to block all pages that they deem unecessary or wrong.

Censoring is never good, no matter where.

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

hm, they have their reasons, Ds, Wii and mostly Psp games have been largely affected by piracy

and it's mostly hardcore games that suffer



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

I don't pirate game and I don't accept piracy is used as an excuse to limit freedom. Someone will have to bomb BSA, RIAA and MPAA HQs. V was wrong, the menace aren't neofascists but neocons.
