Hasn't Obama already come out and said he's going to veto this? |

It can still be passed whether or not Obama vetos or not. I personally am against this and do not think SOPA will pass. What we need to be worried about is PIPA |

If Obama veto's this the only way it can be passed is for congress to override the veto, I highly doubt for all the bill's the congress could override a veto they would do it for SOPA. I don't know that's just my thinking. |

The only congress override a veto is if they have two-thirds vote from The House & Senate. So assuming they did override it I highly doubt two-thirds of those people will vote on it. |

Psycho, it affects free porn. And the web in general as well. The way it is drafted, an individual can make a claim on a website which is not theirs, nor that hosts any copyrighted material of their own; the site would be taken down pre-emptively, then investigated. Kinda "shoot first and ask question later" bill type thing. http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/mythbusters/articles/mythbuster-adam-savage-sopa-could-destroy-the-internet-as-we-know-it-6620300 |

They are terrible bills that Should never be passed. Google got over 7 million signatures on it's petition of these bills. I was one of them, as well as many of my friends. The Internet users and business's of America will not stand for these unconstitutional acts. They are literally trying to take away our rights and freedoms. And will hurt many business's in America and result in millions of job losses. I don't see how copyright infringement and piracy could even remotely outweigh those factors. Injustice at it's finest if they get passed. But I think anonymous has scared them a little too. Did u see what they did after Megaupload got taken down? Hacked govt websites and others. Lol We Are Legion. |

SOPA is a bull shit bill... They wont pass that its way to outlandish, but PIPA is something that looks better but is pretty much the same thing just worded nicer.... i dont think these old men that wank it to victorias secret should be able to decide bills on the internet when they cant even figure out how to get on the internet to see how pissed people are about it. Theyll see us when were standing outside there houses protesting the injustices of our own goverment. We Are Legion... W00T woot. |
