moar like. several site admins and some known sites (Twitter, youtube,facebook, Wikipedia)are "blacking out" (putting their sites offline) for the duration of the event to revolt against SOPA and PIPA. I wondered if we were gonna jump on the wagon 1: |

Personally, I think we should (although I don't know if it'll make a difference). SOPA could have potentially dire consequences for user content based sites such as Gametabs. |
that's what I thought too

that's what I thought too Nate lol, SOPA seems to have some power against sites such as gametabs ;A; |

I think the point of the blackout is to show what could potentially happen in the future. I'm not suggesting that Facebook or Google would be shut down completely, but it is very likely that similar sites to Gametabs could be. Certain websites may effectively be "blacked out" for good if SOPA passes while others could lose a large portion of their content. |

Gametabs is far from a small site actually, our leecher element is gigantic, archard once told me the site easily had thousands of individual views per day lol, in fact check how many guests we have at all times. |
We're averaging over 48,000

We're averaging over 48,000 page impressions and 12,000 unique visitors over the last week according to StatCounter. I think this site is too small to be targeted in a lawsuit, but not too small that we can't get the word out to a significant amount of people and I definitely support blacking out for at least a few hours. It's up to Ash though.

I'm relatively new here but I think it's our duty to blackout gametabs. It's common to have a "it's not my problem" or "it doesn't affect me" attitude towards things that happen in Washington DC, especially on the internet. But SOPA & PIPA actually DO. A significant portion of the internet's core infrastructure is located in the United States. Passing these bills means granting one country the power to screw around with DNS (the addressing system of the internet). So when some company decides oh let's blacklist a site for "infringing" content such as an image macro or game tabs or actual acts of piracy, we will all suffer and eventually turn to other methods of addressing websites that have been banned. This not only makes the internet more dangerous (from an internet security standpoint) but less reliable as a whole. Since when was the last time those old farts in Congress got anything concerning technology right? tl;dr It's our duty as netizens to blackout gametabs to show Congress what the effects of their censorship will be as well as inform the people who've been living under a rock and don't know about SOPA or PIPA yet. i've blacked out 3 websites so far and I think we should BLACKOUT GAMETABS as well.

I heard Obama is against SOPA after some Texans announced they were still for it. Funny how only the media is for SOPA while pretty much all tech industries/companies are against. |

If this bill passes we should have a data base torrent set up. so that we can have access to the entire Tab data base just in case the feds decide to take over. I have been downloading like crazy lol. Got all my Music software and VSTs and Games/ Music all backed up and stored away :)

I honestly am not surprised by this. America was founded on the idea of freedom. A country were people were suppose to have open minds and the ability to express freewill and expression. But has become the very thing it the Founding fathers were against when they made this country. I'm ashamed to even be in this country most of the time. It's one stupid thing after another with the Government.The very Idea of this law goes against the founding concept of Capitalism.And the Constitution it was formed on. I wonder how much time and money is wasted on Stupid laws like these. Look at the video game laws they recently tried to pass. SO instead of using the billions of dollars we pay in taxes to fix the job market and homeless situation people are more worried about "Violence" in video games. I cant even count the number of countries that have all ready disproved the entire Piracy bullshit. it's already a common sense fact that 1 download does not equal 1 lost sell. If music is downloaded it does nothing more then give free advertisement to bands, since they don't make money off record sales, They get most of the income through shows. Most downloaded video game users never had the intention on buying the game anyways. Or they would simply buy it used and cut their profit legally. Downloaded movies don't do crap because People can easily rent it for a buck a few months later at a red box. OR see it on netflixs. This law is just another stupid excuse to give the Corporations more power then they actually need. The very Concept of Guitar pro is to give users the ability to hear Tabs played and to write and learn music. There are no Laws that state that someone cant write down Tabs of a song they heard by ear and give them to a friend to learn. There are NO official Guitar Pro tabs. That's why I stopped buying anything from Dethklok. After all the Tabs were removed from the web, forcing you to buy his shitty book. This law is going to do nothing but lead to disaster. You will see once people are not allowed to sell used stuff on ebay and CL/ Amazon anymore.
