SOPA

Motto: "I burn and I plunder as it suits my desire."
Weapon: Fireball Cannon
I apologize for getting political and starting possible flame wars, but the word needs to be spread about this.

If you're not sure what it is, watch this. TotalBiscuit explains the whole thing and why it is bad.

The short version: This piece of legislation can and will destroy the internet as we know it if it passes. IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.

Yep. We're boned.

Ah.

Lock this then. I don't want to be the source of a flame war.

The main reason the last one devolved into flames was because of misused phrases and etc, not really about the topic itself.

As for this, I'm still in serious doubt this will actually stick. I doubt Obama would not veto it, and I doubt no one would try to go to the supreme court and try to shut this down.

It'd dying. It's major sponsors are either backing out or trying to amend it to be less, you know, unconstitutional. The vote is scheduled to take place on Wednesday. Get your lucky rabbits' feet ready, kids.

This law could completely ruin society. Not only will it destroy the internet, it will make computers practically useless. I'm running a Mac, so that would be a waste of $1,300. Obama is supposed to be helping the economy, not destroying it.

That has literally nothing to do with this issue at all. This is an issue in Congress, not the White House.

Obama has to sign the bill for it to be passed, does he not? Forget it.
