Imagine if Mitchie copyrighted his name.

I think [Removed] is really great.

I don't think it's possible to copyright names... But that's how the Internet would look...

-removed-
I'm selling a -removed- its pretty close to the -removed-. If your interested, find me at the -removed- and we will talk about -removed-.

Did you honestly think that this would've gotten passed?

This would never happen. Too much money would be lost.

I should only block American visitors from MineRealm on Jan 18th.

Mitch is right, Intelli. (And whyyyyyyy...)

If this bill gets passed, it will affect everywhere. Firstly, very very many americans will just be cut off from the world, pretty much. Secondly, remember that America is a very big and very influental on the world. If America passes this, it is almost certain other countries will follow.

The level that this works on is insane though... It goes so far that it would stop people posting anything remotely related to a copyrighted thing.... For example.... Texture packs, or mods.

That's just insane. My life would be destroyed before my very eyes :x

I can live without the internet/MineRealm for a day. Do it.

Mojang is shutting down Minecraft.net and Mojang.com on the 18th.

Google should shut down for a day to protest SOPA. That would get the governments attention.

It could, unless there was something in the EULA stating explicitly that they were allowed. And given Notch's history of bashing SOPA, there probably would be such a clause for Minecraft. So although this anti-piracy proposal would affect lots of things on the Internet, Minecraft would not be affected at all as long as Mojang (the holder of the copyright supposedly being protected) decides to not be involved with SOPA.

People really need to read the terms of use.... It specifically states that anything you create YOU OWN. People could literally sell texture packs and mods. http://www.minecraft.net/terms

It wouldn't of passed anyways, just saying.
