What, did you think that SOPA was the last thing to deal with this topic? Well guess what, you're wrong.
In Europe, they have come up with something called the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (aka ACTA), and this is just as dangerous as SOPA and PIPA.
So with that, I'm linking you to a Reddit article, and I strongly encourage you to research into this topic more. Do whatever you can to get this from being passed, even if you live in the Western Hemisphere, or anywhere else outside of Europe.

Your unknowingness is funny indeed. Most videogame companies censor their games themselves because otherwise the videogame would get a higher classification, for example 18+ instead of 16+.
Nobody here is happy with the stupid videogame laws, except conservative dicks who are fucked in the head. While the americans can do nothing about their censorship laws, neither politicial nor in practice (except whining about it), we have much ways to bypass them. We are able to buy our games from other countries and import them legally (Austria ftw!) and atleast we got more than 2 politicial parties here which you can vote for, so we can indeed change something. Plus the companies could do something about it but I guess most companies are from america where only greedy capitalist bastards live, so I guess profit is their only goal.
So sir, you see that your attempt at trolling germans is indeed a fail because of your sheer stupidity and ignorance.

Fab, he's right D:
your sheer stupidity and ignorance turned this attempt at trolling into a fail, as you can clearly see from SP's sound argument of, uh, something.

And clearly the only ones who know anything about Germany are the Germans because fuck you, that's why.
He clearly has you bested on all fronts, you'd better just give up.

Meh, at least I'm not poor and stupid and American, I have it comparatively well off compared to a sizable chuck of the US.

And we don't have the glorious censorship that SP keeps preaching about.

Rich old white men who want to keep making money the exact same way as they always have instead of adapting (because that's how capitalism is meant to work).

ACTA baffles me, and unlike SOPA is a direct threat because Australia has signed it (although at least the internet censorship bill is dead in the water now). I can't understand where all the pressure is coming from - do entertainment companies of all things really weild power comparable to big banks and oil companies? How many strings could they possibly be pulling all over the world that they haven't already exhausted? Either they are exerting enormous pressure somehow, or there is not one political leader anywhere in the Western world who understands what ACTA would actually entail. Any attempt to implement it would be either political suicide or a sign that every single first world country is suddenly in love with totalitarianism... because of kids downloading music. There's no governmental money or power to gain from that. Everything about it is so stupid I'm hoping it'll forget to breathe and kill itself before anything happens.
