SOPA, which side of the line are you on?

I almost forgot that flaming people was frowned upon on this site after saying whatever I pleased on Reddit.
I'll tone it down: If you think that there is any side to be on other than ,"Sopa needs to be stopped" Then you're a corporate shill and too old for your opinions to matter to the rest of society.

Both sides are shit, but SOPA is the ultimate display of a bunch of idiots with no understanding of the situation punishing everyone for the actions of a few.
If we consider this a war, I will fight alongside anyone against SOPA.

I'm against SOPA because of the amount of additional power it grants corporations.
That said, in the off chance it passes in it's current form I really doubt we'll see much change. There's a lot of doomsday talk so to speak about the end of sites like youtube, twitter, facebook, etc if this law passes. I feel that this is just taking things to the ultimate extreme and would simply never go that far. Just a personal opinion of course.
I don't know if it'll be months or years...but I'm in full support of the intentions set in motion by SOPA and hope that solid anti-piracy laws will become a reality.

As much as I'd love for something unfortunate to happen restricting people to types of media in a another country... me living in Australia... No doubt-ably this would screw everyone over except those who implement it which would end up in a snowball effect making the website blocker take control over more than just sites pertaining to piracy but also anything that could be considered to be "bad" in the governments eyes and sure enough this would end up being used ion every country... which would suck balls.
I know, how dare people that rely on the internet for their livelihood take a stand against an unconstitutional bill that would literally take away their jobs? The fact that downloading the next episode of some shitty sitcom or crime drama is more important to you than a bill that could destroy people's lives is actually kinda sad.hecticpicnic said:

They make a lot of money anyway, and why should i care about such a small amount people who live in a first world company.
You know what SOPA might actually do some good(be it that they have to fuck up a lot of shit to get there) to the dying industry that is film.
And you know what i don't give a shit about those people, because i haven't met them
and they don't effect me.
I mean do you give a shit about the 25,000 people that die every day from hunger.
For it.
I just have a morbid curiosity to see what would happen in the end. To see whether or not it would be this internet apocalypse that everyone claims it will be.
I know it would be a terrible thing for me in the end but I can't help but be insanely curious.

I think he just meant which is the lesser of two evils?TopazFusion said:
In which case, pirates every day of the week. SOPA can go fuck itself.
I'm not a pirate, But i'm not with SOPA. SOPA will not just stop pirates, it'll just hurt everyone who uses the internet. Fuck SOPA.
Megaupload is down, and you what it's not even a US website, sure they can block it from the US but it doesn't make any sense that they can subject a hong kong based country by American laws
(lawyer loopholes is how
).
Also why doesn't anyone give a fuck about NDAA which is way worse, and Bradley Manning remeber him?.
