    The E-Parasite Act/Protect IP

    Basically a bill trying to get passed over taking down torrents and torrenting sites
    How to stop it: https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petition...e-act/SWBYXX55
    Summary of what it is: PROTECT IP Act Breaks the Internet

    I KNOW THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO GET DENIED ANYWAY.
    But if we stress how bad this is, ideas like this may not come up once again.
    And it's not that hard to sign a petition.

    Help a neighboring country?
    It's not like we weren't part of Europe.
    I think making a petition account on whitehouse is blocked for Europeans anyway.

    yep, American citizens are the world's biggest seeders for torrents, so if this bill would pass, you may find your download speeds fall rapidly, oh and they also bring all the latest movies to the net.

    I'm French, but I care
