Warning: Before leaving after you see the long paragraph of typing, you need to know this, DA might get shut down for this. I posted this so this can get your attention to fight back if you want to save DA from shutting down.


well as you may or may not know, our so called government is trying to pass out a bill called SOPA/PIPA. Which this will eliminate anything that contains copyrights or infringement in their websites. Which means Youtube will be down! Facebook will be down!(which i dont really care for much) Google might be down! We dont know how much power our government has on the internet but don't you think this act is against the constitution that we all fought for? Are we going to end up like China? Are we going to let this happen? Right now as we speak MegaUpload, our number one fav site for downloads for anime and stuff, has SHUT DOWN! FOR REAL! check it out and be shock. 7 were arrested, few killed, and 3 or so escaped. A famous group of hackers known as Anonymous is now working their way to stop this injustice that has been taken from our freedom. Right now they just hacked into government websites one after another and telling the government this is only the beginning! Be prepare people of DA that one day (or i hope this will never happen) that this website might be endanger by this bill. Please lets fight back and gain back our freedom of privacy and speech. Lets show these politician that whatever they are doing is the total opposite what the citizens of the United States are asking for and hope that DA won't ever get shut down.
THIS IS FOR REAL GUYS!

Comment, chat and discuss on how you feel about this.

^That is no only for the US >_> they are trying to shut down sites all over the world. Even in my country there are a few Sopa/Pipa bills D: and I mean WTF, they simply cannot mess with other county's laws like that. The thing that the US government wants to control the Internet was known for ages but no one did something to stop it. No offense US people, simply your laws are idiotic thats all and they mess up the rest of the world as well simply because your government wants to control something as vast as the Internet. As for DA I don't think they can close it, 1 mostly all the things in DA were made by EJ, the owner of the Site.2 The updates and such were made by Anzo and Amy and they have ownership rights on them and they can't touch that.

Ya we just talk about ygo here that's all. even IF some things are "stolen" like for example someone uses another persons signature or avatar lol, they cannot accuse someone for it simply because all those are free things and no one has copyright on them My html codes can be stolen or anzo's banners no matter if we wrote copyright there lol. we own nothing.

But ya, DA will lose purpose if DN and all other dueling systems get shut down by those laws. Wikipedia did great thing to raise the voice of people all over the world. Megaupload is just the force they try to push (happened already with "terrorists") to achieve their goal like screw the voice of people we will strike no matter what lol. But that will stop one day for sure its just the matter of time when the whole world will be against america and break its "democracy" down in pieces.

....And the battle against fascism has begun!!

You watch too much movies, my friend.There has always been such shares and these sites have always been strictly monitored.Here in my country, the special forces few times closed several major pirate sites and when everything settles, sites were reopened by other names.This is just an act that have to show that the government give a ****** about all this bitches that are crying for their copyrights and shits. + money ofc.

I hope you guys realize that all this isn't to censor anything or to "protect copyrighted material." Theres been a pattern going on with new legislation's passed by the U.S. government that lead to this.

TBH i dont think you fully understand it :/ what the goverment is TRYING to do is stop pirating sure that acts kinds contridicts itself with 1st admenment yes and i agree they shouldnt do it but eh we also need soemthing done about online pirates :/ plus i think your blowing it out of porpirtion and i srsly doubt the goverment will worry about small sites like this what they will be worrying about are the big company sites that get pirated but eh im not saying they should do it as it contridicts witht he 1st admenment but you should also understand WHY they are trying to do it

ok now train US isnt the only country with stupid laws/chorupted goverment EVERY country out there has stupid laws and a chorupted goverment and thats the plain truth unfourtantly

^Give me an example of any other country that has laws that contradict themselves like in the US. By this law the contend of this site *insert site name here* is copyright and we have to close it. Oh but by this law the content is not copyright and it's fare use and that begins an unending cycle.

I understand this act perfectly and I do agree with it to some extent, but being someone who (unfortunately) is interested in the philosophy of politics I tend to read between the lines of any legislation thats passed by a government. Simply put; if this law was to pass don't think it would've been passed a long time ago? Perhaps before the Martial Law?

You guys have to understand that passing a law isn't something to overlook as a simple thing. Theres a reason behind this law and you must be foolish to think that its purpose is so that already-billion dollar companies can make more money.

there is no such thing like stopping piracy as a moral act. the laws that want to stop it are made by other pirates which are just angry that the gold is going somewhere else and not in their own pocket. US wants control over the internet as it wants the control over the oil in countries that are rich with it. same story, just another page. if you can't see it then you know nothing about this world lol.

^Hit the nail on the head. CONTROL!Its politicians and governments favorite word!!!

This obviously isn't to stop piracy, its simply to have control over ANOTHER aspect of ones life.

By the way... Megaupload was taken down by the FBI. It's back up as
Megavideo.bz

1. no one was killed
2. anonymous isn't one big super hacker group, its individual people working independently or in really small groups. and I really doubt they've been able to hack into government sites again. and if they were to that wouldn't stop anything.
3. YouTube and Facebook owners wouldn't allow their sites to get taken down. so more than likely they will just perma-ban members that break the laws.
4. Megaupload getting taken down had nothing to do with SOPA. cuz ... SOPA hasnt even passed yet. megaupload broke the law, they were taken down. Its good this happened cuz it shows that the laws we have inplace now work perfectly fine.


if you want to help, call your Senator and congressmen.

Totally agree with MP94 and Staxx.

What do we gain from SOPA/PIPA, anyways?

We lose more than we gain.
