GOG Comments on the bill, as well as piracy in general.

If you dont want to read, here's the most interesting tidbit

Quote:
However, a lot of the abandonware websites (sites that take a curatorial view of their downloads, saying that they're preserving these games from the ash heap of history) that have games that GOG doesn't sell yet could certainly find themselves in a bad situation. Anyone who advertises on these websites could also find themselves in a certain amount of hot water, which will cause the abandonware sites problems even if they aren't directly targeted for blacklisting. Advertisers will leave in droves.
So considering how carefully the games get picked on for the site these days, there probably wont be any problems. If the advertisers go however, that could cause some serious problems. They're the lifeblood of the site and I dont think AB can live by donations alone, especially with the drought of new content.

I hope you people who mass-pirate the hell out of everything take a good look at yourself. Because of people like you were all in this fine mess.
