Load of bullshit. EA, Sony and any other company who are directly backing this can get f*cked. Good on Mozilla, Facebook and Google for going against it. IF this goes through the internet will be screwed.

1245005 2011-11-23 06:18:00 The "internet" is a bunch of computer nodes linked together, no one owns it or has the right to control it. If I want to stream a movie over my LAN I can do it and ill be dammned if this SOPA crap will stop me from accessing sites on the WAN. The Error Guy (14052)
1245006 2011-11-23 06:41:00 I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention here. It's going to completely screw every site ever. If someone posts copyrighted material in the comments section or on a forum, it's the site's responsibility, not that user's.

tl;dr the american government is going to kill the internet if this passes.

1245007 2011-11-23 07:17:00 It could shutdown any and every social networking site. Someone posts a picture from google on facebook. BAM! whole site is gone. icow (15313)
1245008 2011-11-23 07:30:00 i don't think it's going to pass purely because of how retarded it is and how much money the US stands to loses, but at the same time it's receiving alot of publicity and hasn't died as quickly as people expected it to. I'm guessing that's where the worry is coming from. I mean, that and how bad the bill is but normally people are like 'oh yeah it'll die before the first vote' kinda thing. 8ftmetalhaed (14526)
1245009 2011-11-23 07:52:00 Even the movie industry doesn't like it so I don't think it will pass. mikebartnz (21)
1245010 2011-11-25 11:13:00 Given the US Congress is just a rubber stamp commitee for law written by big business this bill has a good chance of passing.

Here's a petition you can sign:

1245011 2011-11-25 11:59:00 So this law will be only in US right? chumscrubber (16416)
1245012 2011-11-25 19:18:00 So this law will be only in US right?

1245013 2011-11-25 20:20:00 But if they're shutdown sites and stuff like that it's still gonna effect us and even if the sites are only blocked in the US that's still going to screw everyone else over big time. icow (15313)
