1) Using Cirno as your avatar

[powerrave]

The **** they wanna do? Forbid everything that makes internet fun?

They want to decrease copyright infringement.

On the internet? So how restricted will everything be?

1) Using Cirno as your avatar

Yes Powerave, Because of this, You are now considered an ABSOLUTE RETARD accordian according to me.

Too bad for you that that is nowhere near legit. Btw, did you know that Touhou is a GAME series and not an anime?

By saying if you use anything copyrighted, you're a felon.

This is bad for me, because I work under lots of different names, but can't prove it because they're not Officially Regisitered and I thus have no paperwork. Therefore, if I copyright my stuff, I could theoretically get put on the US Felons list and maybe even go TO JAIL for using MY OWN F*CKING WORKS

Damn. This sh** is flawed in all kinds of ways and I sure as hell am against this.
Guess internet won't be a free place according to those idiots. Screw them. I do wtf I want.

You can actually still sign the petition.

Anyone who's American should go on there and sign their petition and email their congress member. The bill actually has very few supporters, and demand progress has rallied a large opposition to it.

1. Cirno's RETARD Math Class
2. It is drawn anime style
3. they hypnotized the internet once, and I will not let that happen again.

So apparently, you're wrong.

Please speak in proper English.

Actually, Raikiri, you need to go research your terms before you use them. Touhou isn't ALLOWED an anime, ZUN has PROHIBITED it outright

[Chaosmancer]

...Pretty sure you ain't safe, you have a print screen of RA2 as your avatar, RA2 is copyrighted, so I guess that that would also be illegal. As for me, I have a Felyne from Monster Hunter, if what Scourge says is fully true, MH=copyrighted, avatar would be illegal.

Also, anime style =/= anime
Hypnotising the internet =/= anime

But you should remember that all is subject to opinion, and no matter what you say (unless you come up with an exceedingly good argument (which is unlikely  based on how you word your posts)) nobody will change their opinion. People will continue to like whatever they like, and short of becoming a God which does not have to abide by the Bruce Almighty laws of being God (thus meaning you can control people), you won't be able to change that.

[Meganerdbomb]

Really though, prohibiting you from using that avatar would be impossible to enforce, but stuff like Youtube might be shut down for good. Anyway, evetyone go to the link I posted and sign the petition! Yes, even if you don't live in the U.S there's an option for that.

[Chaosmancer]

To be honest, short of actually shutting down the internet, there is no way to stop anything. People have found ways around things before, and if this passes, it will be no exception. Hell, there is probably somebody who is trying to think of a way to get around it right now. Of course, that is assuming that it passes, not hoping it will (if it does, the internet will just become extremely sucky. Even more sucky than 027's arguments)

[smashysmashy]

I have lost track of what is going on.

027 generally bashing anime/thinking he is God/thinking Touhou=anime

Something to do with a completely ****ed up law that might pass in the US... not sure if Scourge posted the video here... if not

[That Robot is a Spy!]

If it passes in the US, it could pass here in Europe.

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

If it passes in the US, it will pass here in UK.

FTFY because you know how UK follows US' every move like f*cking SHEEP (The same goes vice-versa)? Well... yeah, I'm screwed, not in a good way...
