Anorax Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Pretty old in comparison, but It logically follows, which is what SOPA is about: people on YouTube and other sites are using copyrighted materials (even just a second of it), and SOMEONE other than the holder is making money. SO SHUT IT ALL DOWN, that's the response. HOLY SHIT Someone doesn't know their copyright laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorax Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 dude i got him to quiet down so don't give a reason to get a response out of him. I hope he doesn't, but I felt like I have to say something. copyright law is ever-so-slightly limited and allows some leniency, such as using 30 seconds OR 10% of a music clip is allowed. My bad.

orlouge82 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It appears that members of netCoalition are planning a mass shutdown of their sites if SOPA passes.http://technorati.com/blogging/article/will-facebook-google-twitter-shut-down/ If Congress messes with Facebook and Twitter, they can expect to be torn limb from limb by angry mobs of Americans. I wish Congress understood that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Congress understood that. Some members of Congress use Twitter themselves. If they don't get it at all and it were to pass, they'd work real hard to repeal it ASAP, I guarantee it.

Anorax Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Disappointing, but not surprising:http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115025-ESA-Refuses-To-Pull-SOPA-Support + If Congress messes with Facebook and Twitter, they can expect to be torn limb from limb by angry mobs of Americans.

I think that Google going down would be a huge issue. there are some people out there that don't use Facebook and Twitter (I know, right?!?), but probably use Google. that, and a lot of websites use Google Search widgets in-site as well. So it might not end as they had hoped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychowolf Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 First the poorly designed NY Comic Con booth and now this I wouldn't know about that mate, i am guessing sarcasm. I was referring to the lack of showing they care for their most beloved franchise atm. All those megaman fans are already rather disappointed with the lack of him in mvc3 and the cancellation of mml3. and with finding out that the company supports a censored internet i'm thinking alot of fans will be mad. but when a new phoenix wright comes out they wont hesitate to buy it so what does it matter.

The Coop Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 This is just Capcom's way of trying to shut me down and collect royalties from all my signatures featuring Jon Talbain and Felicia, as well as the recent cover for An OverClocked Christmas v.5.

They are tired of you using the character more than they are. Instead of C&D'ing you for using characters from an IP they are not using like Sega did, they are gonna go one step further to bring you down.

Eino Keskitalo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 At least Capcom has given OCR explicit rights to host ReMixes of music from Capcom games with the release SSF2THD, right? So it's totally all right if they support SOPA!! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirby Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Is Capcom TRYING to go bankrupt? I mean, really, every single thing they've done in the past several months has alienated their fanbase in some way, and now this? EDIT: In response to your Phoenix Wright comment, psychowolf, they already said no more AA games would be released in America. I'm surprised he was even in UMvC3. but yeah, that's won't happen. If it were up to me, I'd fire ALL of CoJ's executive staff, since it's obvious they have no clue how to make their company profitable anymore. Which is kinda what companies are supposed to be... you know, profitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbu Frahma Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Which comes to about $15.45 after conversion...Now, I'm not too good with the stock market... is that good or bad? Hard to say, without knowing what their IPO (the original price of the stock when first placed on the market) was valued at, or without some reference points as to the value in past months/years. (If their IPO was $10/share, for instance, that's completely different than if it was $50/share. Same with the value of previous months.) I'll see if I can look up price points from the last few years and get a feel for how they're doing... for curiosity's sake if nothing else.
