Sherm... please post if it's more than a simple word.
And yays for Washington's post. ^^
Besides... in this current generation, Internet is "our" realm. We only go forward and don't work backwards. If you apply Economics on this, you'll understand why also.

The government doesn't need SOPA. It can still do what SOPA was meant for, but at a much slower rate.

Though I agree that these proposed bills are misguided, the U.S. government has a history of not listening to it's citizens on more than one occasion. we can protest, petition, make valid points, and even provide evidence that this bill should not be passed, but the house rule is the house rule, and only the president can veto it, but even then, the house can override the veto and pass the law without anymore consent. I'm hoping for the best as well, but It's almost useless to do anything now. Cooperations, large companies, or as we say the "rich," have the government by the loins, and they will not let go. Basically, if it's good for business, then it will be passed. Sad truth.

Yes, and thats the point of the continuing efforts. It can still be sneakily added in chunks to other pieces of legislation, which is why the fight is not over. But side note, I just seen a report on the news about Anonymous and their threats and well...its so weird, I'm used to Anonymous just being a popular internet meme and YouTube presence but now they're making national headlines. Hats off to those guys man.

If i had just a tiny once of respect for the American Government,i lost all of it.Safe for Obama,he rocked dem.
They try to mess with a nation powerfuller than theirs...The Internet..

SOPA/PIPA used to ruin the internet,but then it took riots to the face.

Quite the oposite lildj.

Sopa/Pipa is still going tru' another round of votes.
Yes,probably it will be vanquished there.But who knows...It might come back,and trolls,gamers,bloggers,e.t.c will have to stand together against it,again.

PCIP is still going to be a new annoyance,kind of like a round two.But as in any real life round two.You come weaker.In this case,they.

PCIP is legit? Lol, if they're really going to record all internet activity I can't wait to see how Anonymous reacts ;D. But seriously, that's a blatant invasion of privacy. However, the Constitution hasn't been so great on reserving our right to privacy. Could go against the 1st, 4th, and possibly the 5th amendments, but I'm not certain.

This is probably the one time in history where trolls, bloggers, gamers, fanfic writers, parody makers, and others will band together to defeat something...
