affiliate sites are closing their shops and escaping day by day....

It has to do with the movies and what they are going through.

While the SOPA act is aimed at interfering with piracy, it also hurts people(artists, photographers, etc.) who were using these now closed sites to store their own original works and to share them. The main result is that the piracy will be driven underground and the innocent will be hurt.

I am so happy that law did not pass in the US . And whenever I see the Europe trying to do almost the same thing I hope the people hold a stand. I know piracy is wrong but there are other ways they could try going about things .

so sorry. it seems to be about money and exposer only these days on the internet. and just like everything else in life, its always changing day after day.

Hiya remo, Would you credit it just when I thought I might join something again now look what is happening then. Yes I have heard of these upload sites and I was thinking of giving it a go although I must admit they did puzzle me a bit especially when people can download and upload things for free on the internet. Well if nobody has got paid after all the effort they have put in I won´t be joining them either. After all said and done I only found a couple that seemed worth the trouble but now I won´t bother wasting my time. But how I wish that they were for real as some people could have made really good money with. I feel for those that have put effort into all that and not been paid. Hope you did not lose money either remo nor anybody else here.xxx

Hi ramesh I personally think this is the right thing to happen. Something at least in the right direction to clean up the clutter and make internet a better place. I am not sure if this has anything to do with SOPA or PIPA but these uploaders, the ones who allow storage of non-copyright stuff should be removed as they allow bad money.
