This sounds alot like the NRA who go all crazy when you want to take away one type of bullet or make people have to wait 7 days to register a weapon. And just like the NRA we are now going to have more Lobbiest bothering congress.
Not really. Its more like any other vested interest that wants government to do something to benefit it, or damage their competitors (at tax payer expense of course...). SOPA/PIPA are classic examples of this attempt to shift some corporate expense or another to the tax payers. In this case, the expense of due process and transition through the judicial system.
It was predictable, given that many districts in the US are growing long since tired of the antics of Big Content, and have started to make them deal with individual cases, rather than whole sale. Who better than their bought and paid for lap dogs in congress, to smooth their path, and dump the expense on the US tax payer?
As for the other, the NRA has long been more a part of the problem, rather than any real solution. The GOA or JPFO on the other hand are not paper tigers, and those in congress do not like to cross them.
My perspective of sopa is that it would effect American buisness as many websites would go abroad . If SOPA and PIPA are looking to control the content of th internet outside its boarders is extremly wrong . In fact I would go so far as to say it would be a significant step towards making America a Facist dictatorship . It would tarnish the worlds view of the USA and the harm it would do internationally to americas reputation would be massive . I'm so glad you guys across the pond are standing up against this . Your very freedon is on the line and if they get away with this it will be just the begining of a very slippery slope .
I totally agree with your statement. Our govt today more than ever want to take our rights away as citizens, they want total control of our lives not just the internet. But they keep taking more and more resy assure that this is just another cloak of control its nice to say Piracy etc but trust me its more than just what they say. Call your congressman etc and tell them no way!
Unless you want to live in a world similar to the one in the Battle Royale series soon, tell SOPA to gtfo. Guys, technically Justin Beiber is SOPA. MegaUpload.com was removed because of Justin Beiber. Anyways, unless you idiots don't enjoy freedom of EVERYTHING, then don't let them take this from you. Kill the internet and you kill the true voice of people.
check megavideo.com the bill is allready passed the fbi anti piracy has allready taken it down and are takeing lots of other sites down as time gos on they are thinking of going after world of warcraft from what i have herd
MegaVideo is simply another example of why SOPA/PIPA are not necessary. Mordor on the Potomacs reach extends into any country it can bribe and/or bully into submission to its will, and that of its corporate masters. We've already seen multiple examples of what happens when a country doesn't obey the orders of the Empire.
As usual, America trying to control everything in the world.
Down with Sopa!
Don't blame us....it is our government that sucks not the average person lol. It would be nice if we actually did get what we the people want by majority decision. and yes i agree....down with SOPA.
I need the "meat" that is the internet, don't give me soup and expect me to be happy with that
You have to ask yourself - why is Hollywood not coming up with better security for their products? With all the money they have are we meant to believe they cannot come up with a system to protect their copyrighted material? This is just an excuse to regulate the internet. Government is a tool and is bought and paid for, Bilderberg is mad.

Its been demonstrated time after time after time, that any technical solution they attempt gets defeated. Its the nature of the complex technologies involved. They are using their bought and paid for politicians now, because they absolutely refuse to change their business model, and for a long, long time they have been able to get anything they wanted from our Dear Leaders. The US has the best government money can buy... But thats pretty much true of just about any major nation state government.
No doubt the sociopaths who rule most of the major nation states would LOVE to have much tighter control over the internet, but at this point they spend most of their time fighting among themselves. If that ever changes, Bad Things(tm) are likely to happen.
