So, I decided to black out my torrent site...

This SOPA thing is really going to throw a wrench in my well-oiled money making machine. My tube site and torrent site use content under the "fair use" provision of copyright law. Totally 100% legit. It's basically a parody. People make comments about the stuff I distribute, so you know... it's kinda like the news making comments on stuff they air without owning the copyright. Same shit, basically.

And you know what's total bullshit about SOPA wanting to take my sites down? I don't even host anything. I just link to it.

This is going to kill the entire internet. This is complete censorship. They think they can kill an entirely innocent site!

And what's this about them wanting my host policing my stuff? My super-massive pirate website was supposed to be a total secret to my host. And that whole thing about killing my ad revenue? That shit is wack, bro. This is the 1% trying to keep a brother down! Totally overstepping their bounds.

Keep the internet free and open.

This won't stop piracy! You can still send stuff to your buddy over Bluetooth! Or you know, via DVD even! You can still reach any site you want via their IP address! SOPA won't have any effect!

I mean, I don't want piracy any more than you do... it's just that these media companies are hella greedy... you know, trying to make a profit and shit. We're the 99%! Fuck greedy corporations making a profit!
