Here's a video about it...though not greatly informative

Wow... it's back again like Freddy Krueger

That's a cool Doom shirt.

Ugggggggggghhhhhhh....

*sigh*

What the flying f**k?

Obama has said he'll veto it, major companies like Google and Microsoft are against it, and the American congress is a pack of retards who can't agree over what side a coin fell on.

Not exactly a major threat.

Youtube, which is owned by google, is implementing various copyright things similar to SOPA so I'd not count on Google, and MS has tech that will let the kinect count the people in the room and stop a movie or game if there are too many people in the room... So yeah I wouldn't count on MS either. Especially with them able to claim... "it's not us! It's the law!"

@durakken: They're against it because it's generally bad for business.

But old people should stop trying to legislate the internet because they clearly don't know how it works.

I hate the people who run this country.

so true, but I signed it anyways.

They won't stop

The perception that it's not a threat is what makes it a threat in itself. As has been said, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance...

Don't let them censor me. )':
