Yea SOPA is some weird act, made on 26th of October, massively voted AGAINST, then failed.

Guess who voted against, except for gaming America?

wikipedia has written
Opponents of the bill include Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, LinkedIn, eBay, Mozilla Corporation, the Brookings Institution, the Wikimedia Foundation, (...)


Yea, then you're pretty much screwed. The internet voted too.

Facebook, Google, Zinga or whatever it's called and hundreds more. The act would just shut down a site that posted any copyrighted products, even a copyrighted picture on facebook would make that fucking SOPA shut it down. Idiots.

Hah, good luck to them.

Many musicians are already calling for people to pirate their songs, so that labels would ease up on the contracts and the authors would get something for what they've done. Did you know musicians receive less than 20% from labels?

@user cvx: Thumbs up for Columbo.

Unfortunately enough, this thing is not the first of it`s kind, and some of the more "benigh" laws had already been implemented.

The gist of act, however, is that it should empower the Department of Justice with ability to have sites blocked by search engines, ISPs and advertisement networks that operate in USA. Or, in simpler words, would give DoJ the right to censor the internet as they see fit.

That much is disturbing, because anti-piracy laws so far had been targeted against the specifically people who perpetrate. SOPA suggests leaning on the service providers instead. I`d like to meet Lamar Smith. Preferably, somewhere without witnesses.
