SOPA - discuss

[quote=Anandre][quote=Mooninites] So anyway, Riot posted today about SOPA and I want to get everyone's educated opinion - if you don't know what an educated opinion is, do some research outside of what riot posted because clearly they have a biased view on the matter and aren't posting all the facts about the bill, just as the supporters of the bill like to use misinformation [/quote] I know you're trying to promote fair discussion and all, but this isn't the way to do it. If SOPA, PIPA and similar bills pass, then the Internet as we know it will cease to exist. That's not an exaggeration. The corporations are shutting down the ordinary citizens and limiting what we can do because it might cut into their profits. Corporations might be considered people under the law, but they are the most soulless creatures on the planet.[/quote]

[quote=example1013]FYI, the sky is not falling, SOPA likely violates the First Amendment (protection of freedom of expression), and even if it were passed as-is in both the House and Senate, and signed by the President, it would almost certainly still be challenged and shot down in court. The United States lawmaking system provides so many loopholes with which to stop a law from being put into effect that it's a wonder anything passes at all.[/quote]
