POLAND IS WITH YOU. we fight in Europe with A.C.T.A

[heatbucspies55]

I agree with their cause, but half of the people don't even really give a reason why the bill is wrong.

It's kind of annoying.

I've watched like 8 minutes and the 3rd person to talk is the only one that really said why it's wrong.

[SporkMaster002]

r you kidding me know one listens to the American people, we get beat in the streets for standing up and saying no to getting over taxed an thrown from our homes because taxes rise but our wages dont. inflation on necessity's rises our wages stay the same.

if we put the people in office that are making America hell then why cant we remove them from office??? the people are saying no, its our government that isnt listening. instead they stifle us more with bills that limit our ability to info.

[spurlock12345]

RON PAUL 2012

[JsrashadPictures]

SOPA AND PIPA ILLUMINATI'S NEWBORN CHILD!!

Obama disliked this video ..

[daanbrg]

@ufee Haha, I totally understand you. Don't forget: they're fighting for the future of all of us! Don't forget to be awesome, and have a great day. Cheers!

We shouldn't be blinded by the false dialogue of left vs. right. The great political struggle of our era pits Americans who love freedom, liberty, and constitution, innovation, creativity, and work ethic, against elitist politicians and corrupt corporations who love tyranny and control. For this country to survive, the American people MUST win.

[fmitwo1]

MoveOn and TeaParty Patriots both hate SOPA and PIPA. People need to realize the political discussion has changed.  This is about the people of the United States who care about civil liberty and freedom (and a few politicians like Ron Paul) vs. the statist tyrants in Washington who stand for abusive government and corrupt corporations.

[KripDrip]

if your not doing piracy, then you have nothing to worry about! Anyone hating on sopa supports piracy!

[000CORE1994]

@KripDrip bullshit everyone supporting sopa is supporting tirany. imagine all the webs getting shut down. and now shut the fuck up before i go there and beat the crap out of u for supporting sopa.

[daanbrg]

@000CORE1994 and @KripDrip, *both* of you, relax. Just because someone has a different opinion than you do, doesn't mean you have to bash their brains out.

Even though I find it strange that someone with brains can support such a bill - yes, @KripDrip, I'm talking about you - that doesn't mean we have to get physical here. Don't forget that getting physical with someone currently is a felony, while SOPA & PIPA aren't laws yet.

[daanbrg]

@KripDrip The funny thing is: many people, including me, are against piracy. However, I, among many others, am completely against these bills.

The bills actually don't have much to do with piracy at all. An example: on your website, if you link to a PDF on the web server of a company which wasn't intended to leak out, the company can, with the help of these bills, take down your website without notice. Wikipedia can even be shut down like this; they link to many external documents.

[TheUltimateSyNN]

@KripDrip

I think you are missing the point. Read the entire bill and understand why we are so upset. It is not ONLY against piracy. Its the GITMO of the internet. Censorship and punishment without question.

[realfun7188]

SOPA has removed this comment.

[daanbrg]

@realfun7188 Hmm, that's a shame. :)

Thanks for supporting the future of all of us. Cheers!

@daanbrg can you give me the link if they gonna film the live tomorrow and thx

[eugeniodiaz30]

@daanbrg Hmm... dude I wasn't trying to offend you. i was just saying

[PolizeiPaul]

@eugeniodiaz30: screw that..You realize if this spreads nationwide and these people start to get really pissed off and start showing force they could create enough of a disturbance to tie up emergency services enough to sieze all the political buildings and really show a force to be recconed with XD. And I hope they do because then these politicians that think up SOPA and PIPA will flee in fear Ha ha ha.

[lowa6boro]

we must preserve our bill of rights and our constitutional rights and let every officials know this destruction of our rights will not stand

[quangluu96]

Congress is violating our Bill Of Rights!!
