  They region restrict it to the regions they air their programming to. For instance, in NL they have a Comedy Central station, so I have access to some of their programming.

• On the post: Senator Marco Rubio Dropping His Co-Sponsorship Of PIPA

  

  Marcel de Jong ( profile ), 18 Jan, 2012 @ 08:11am

  It's weird that it is newsworthy to mention that a senator listens to his constituents.
  
  You'd think that that'd be the default behaviour, after all they voted him in democratically as their representative.
  
  Demos cratos, for the people.

  Only exception is, that we overseas people don't get to see the blanked out 'doodle', but we do get to see the call to action below the search bar. Even when going to google.com/ncr

  Re:

  Talk to the site operators of the illegally taken down site Dajaz1.com before spouting your nonsense of "well google won't be a target."
  Actually see how badly written laws get abused left and right, before making a blanket statement like that.
  
  Either that, or shut up and go back to your basement.

  Re: Re: Re:

  Meanwhile it isn't even an anti-piracy law. SOPA does nothing to deter piracy. Nor does PIPA protect Imaginary, I mean 'Intellectual' Property.

  Look here, retard, SOPA wouldn't even be able to take down ThePirateBay, because TPB has a .com address.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  It's always a game of give and take, they want eternal copyrights, then we should go for no copyrights. and meet somewhere in the middle.
  
  Preferably at 15 years of opt-out-able copyrights, after those 15 years, you can extend it by 5 years at a cost (increasing each term), giving the content creator an incentive to sell the work.
  Also, copyright should no longer be transferable, copyright holders are the content creators.
  
  Copyright should not be used as a welfare state.

  Their trolling offices are shut for the week. They are outside now, unfamiliar to the bright light of the sun/clouded sky, huddled in corners waiting till the holiday season is over, so that they can get back to their desks and become intarwebs heroes once more.
