THE iDOLM@STER > THE iDOLM@STER 2
The Stop Piracy Online Act and im@s requests/recording.

It's only a matter of time until someone makes an underground website and then it gets duplicated and duplicated and duplicated.
Then there will be several copies in different locations that can't all go down at once.
It's a bit frustrating though because for a lot of the members here their first encounter with idolm@ster was through m@ds or gameplay footage from youtube or nico nico.
And so much of the whole culture of im@s is about videos...sharing your successful shows, sharing your own creativity, (and now) sharing your pictures.
Hmmm...what is the legality of G4U, btw? After all the intention here is to share your pictures with others, right?

Not sure. I have to check what explicit rights are granted. Basically, unless the IP owner gives 'explicit' rights for distrubution AND public performance, probably not.
Duplication isn't the problem - a DNS kill does NOT take the computers offline. You'd have to memorise the manual IP address. It would mean there's an 'approved' net and the rest of us.
Fortunately, the fact the US is literally falling apart may work in our favour - it needs to pass the house and the senate, and they're busy... uh, fixing the economy.
But yes, it's nuts in more ways than I can count. But the people who wrote it and thought it out, clearly don't care.

So according to what I read earlier today, any website that contains anything "pirated" will be going down even if its user posted.
So the webm@ster webmaster will have to be careful. For this site too!

... this is crazy in so many ways, I can't even begin to count. Read it the right way, and you could shut down the ENTIRE INTERNET. This is just so immensely stupid...
I will be spreading the word about it, and it will not go unnoticed by the people I know.

Exactly! Everyone is spreading the word, my brother just read about it on Equestria Daily.
I don't know if it will pass though...and even if it does, I don't see how things will be much more different. After all, isn't it the owner's job to sue the person? If the owner doesn't care (like in the case of iDOLM@STER or several games) then nothing will happen, right?
