shermana:
yeah that's the scariest video i've seen in a while. That is basically saying that the Bill of Rights will be tarnished.

No. The entire context of my post was written against it. But thats what the original SOPA would do, essentially it could be twisted to let the big companies step on the little guys. But as shermana said above, things have changed. SOPA has been watered down a lot recently, but that doesn't mean its still not a threat.
Also, if you look on YouTube, two of the most watched videos for today are both stolen copyrighted material. One is even directly recorded off of someone's television... if you look at it from the perspective of someone's content that was stolen, I can see why they'd be mad. Even so, that bill was outrageously blunt.

Yes, they do. But that's what PIPA is. PIPA is basically, just because I liked how it sounded, a watered-down version of SOPA, making it just as bad. What they figure is that americans are so stupid it'll go something like this:
"So, how do you feel about SOPA?"
"Hell no, that'll kill the internet!"
"Well, how about this bill?"
*Hands over PIPA*
"Huh. Not as bad. Sure."
They figure we're stupid enough to say something like this. PIPA is that second bill you're talking about, so don't even let your guard down for PIPA, because it's just as bad.

Actualy Aqua, your wrong, in fact Sopa has quite a bit to do with it. The government is slowly taking away american rights. If SOPA goes through, then we will have no freedom at all on almost all websites. Anonymous also talk about the SOPA bill in a similar video, as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeEcoi8kEuU
