What happens in the USA is disturbing, in my opinion, it goes in the wrong direction. Your government is slowly trying to do what we had in Poland for almost 45 years after II WW. In the name of fighting terrorism, they start to restrict your rights, now censorship, what next- banning gatherings, search homes without warrants, arrests of opposition, intellectuals and freethinkers. All in the name of greater good and fight evil. The world is watching the U.S. Unfortunately, other governments too.

@mrrobotica Megaupload is only a Internet service provider. It is the job of the copyright owner to identify individual violation and sue. Just because going after each violation is not profitable doesn't mean they should corrupt the government so it do their job with public funds. The only reasonable option is to realize there is noting their can do about it and adapt. They are still doing lot of profit, they should focus on improving their share of the market that is profitable.

Youtube is a threat to the entertainment industries. More peoples are watch amateur stuff on youtube and less paid for television.

Their goal is to turn the Internet into a other 'cable tv' that their could control top to bottom.

The government didn't need SOPA to shut down Megaupload. So why bother to put it into law? And for the record, Megaupload deleted copyrighted material -- sure they missed a lot of it, and sometimes they were a little slow, but eventually it would get removed.

@mrrobotica oh those poor multi-billionaires lost THOUSANDS of dollars because of megaupload. what a shame.

ok, so we pretty much have put a stop to SOPA, however now we need to deal with ACTA. it covers not just the US, but every country that signs the treaty. it not only covers the internet, but also surveillance of anything that you share through private channels. its about 10x worse than SOPA, and it doesnt have as big of a campaign against it as SOPA does. on top of that, its going to pass sooner. ACTA has effects on healthcare, trade, and tourism. this is a serious step in losing our freedom.

Megaupload is a terrible site that violates intellectual property rights and deserved to be shut down. Shutting down Megaupload is the exact kind of thing that the government should be doing, not doing stuff like making ineffective, overly broad bills that harm innocent people like SOPA.

Government people don't know the power they are messing with the Internet is too powerful to shut down and it will come out on top
