Yup, and that's what's got me upset.
So many popular music uploaders have been banned recently:
TimmyTurnersDad
SilvaGunner (though TimmyTurnersDad has since created a tribute channel called "GilvaSunner")
BrawlBRSTMs
TheOSTation
and others I can't remember
Gof forbid you buy the music!

There's honestly nothing to be upset. Current laws forbid those posts on Youtube anyway

And the fact there is always a soundtrack available for every game ever made and the song(s) you like is on there!

Just for you.

Guys guys, it's not like you're downloading the music off Youtube. They're just putting it up for streaming purposes, like Netflix.

You can download them with the right program. That's one of the reasons why companies are cracking down on those videos

Honestly I can't see Nintendo reporting NL since it would only hurt their business.
But the Block IP bill could be a problem for American members.

I know this bill will affect file-sharing sites like Mediafire, MegaUpload, etc. They might be taken down if the bill passes.

How would it affect NL? Don't they deal with Nintendo directly? Same with GoNintendo.

Mediafire and Megaupload aren't illegal download sites - if anything, they're quick to take down copyright-infringing material.

In case any of you aren't aware, Wikipedia is protesting against the bill by shutting down their site for a full 24 hours. That should be something significant, but now I won't be able to access their awesome site all day tomorrow

Didn't they drop the SOPA bill? I believe that they did.

Just saying, but the Obama Administration does not approve of SOPA and PIPA. Unless there is a forced veto of the veto, then SOPA and PIPA will not pass. In other words, we're pretty much safe.

As far as I heard, SOPA isn't completely killed. Obama may not support it, but I don't think those legislators wanna leave without a fight.

I've been using those sites for the past 3 years and honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

This comment will come off very selfish, but, I wish sites weren't doing a full blackout because of a single act in America. I do not live there, so why should I be punished?

Understandably, this is a pretty big act and it's ramifications if it's passed will be huge, yet I say again _{selfishness ahoy} I live in Australia, not America.
_{also I am aware a lot of the site servers are stated in america. I am just making a point about how I feel as if im punished for doing nothing in the first place.}

You know

But I'm just like
Can I just like, hang off the back of your horse
And can you go a little faster?!
