I'm just hoping that IF it gets passed, it won't have any major consequences and that fair use will still be in effect. But I can't say I'm optimistic about it.

Just learned that, instead of just a few websites, they are able to shut down an entire fucking server just because of one person.
The makers of the bill publicly said they don't have a clue of what'll happen if this goes through.

From what I've read on PIPA, it's basically the same as SOPA, only not as well known. So while SOPA gets all the fault, they can sneak PIPA in in the back.

The thing is the corporations supporting the bill have more money. Its as simple as that.

I will personally be using a satellite internet connection to an out-of-country proxy if these bills get passed. I want my internet open, and uncensored.

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/help-us-stop-sopaThis was something I was delighted to see, a game company realizing how big of a threat to all of us legitimate internet-lovers, and use their position to rally their sizable community against it.

I've read bits of the bill itself, as well as various summaries. It's an extremely destructive piece of legislation.
The websites the RIAA and MPAA could legally have blocked completely under the bill's use:
Youtube
Google
Facebook
Reddit
All search engines
All torrenting sites
All file sharing sites of any kind
I'm not saying all of these will certainly go down immediately, but some will. My guess for the first day of the bill's enactment, Youtube will go down, along with popular torrenting sites. If the corporations are feeling cocky, they might even take down Google to limit people's ability to find pirated material. And who's to say they won't? We're giving them the power. Can we really expect them to use it responsibly, or even sanely?

Lets not forget about PIPA here, the thing they want to slip through the backdoor while we are pointing all our attention at SOPA.

Right you are. Changed topic name, as they're basically the same thing and have the same problems.
