    I tell you, it had better not!

    Hey, but at least this will stay, since 1) nothing is pirated (I hope), 2) It's based in the UK and is immune to US law, I think.

    I'm against against piracy (and yes, that's a double negative)

    watch these videos before any of you start acting like you know what you're talking about.

    i found them to be very informative of what is really going on behind this bill.

    did you know that time warner(one of the principal supporters of this bill) was the main distributer of pirating software like kazaa, bittorrent and lime wire!!! what a farce. FUCK SOPA AND ALL THE 80 SOMETHINGS IN CONGRESS WHO CANT EVEN USE A KEYBOARD THAT ARE NOW DECIDING THE FATE OF THE ENTIRE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!

    watched both vids, completly agree with them. This whole bill is TRUE and it is fucking scary. Those who didn't watch/or don't already know- This bill will destroy the internet and everything that can potentially host Pirated stuff. So you're talking the destruction of as said Youtube, face book, photobucket everything. Even reviews are effected.

    I was hoping someone could confirm my point, does it only effect sites based in the US (a.k.a. .com)? Or does it effect globally (.co.uk, .au. .de etc.)?

    it's international. It effects everyone, everywhere. The apocalypse of the internet. Scares the shit out of me, I just hope this bill doesn't go through.

    this is what you could be experiencing-

    ...and hello cencorship. lol. (well, not lol, cause it's not funny havin' no YT... or internets)

    While we've been at it with the holidays, preoccupied with christmas, these 2 new bills managed to slither through unnoticed. And there will be chaos if we don't do nothing about it.

    this vid explains the effects of the PIPA.

    The only thing you can do is contact your state Senate. Doesn't matter if you're 8 or 55 years old. As long as you know what you're saying, you can express your opinion.
