  • goodbye old media, I hope you die and long and slow death.

  • only sopa hit the dislike :(

  • @gachetbietdi before WWI, 99% people believed the major war is impossible in the "modern world". before nazis' rise to power 99% people believed such a barbarism is impossible in the "modern world".

    It is actually EASIER to get peoples mouths shut now more than ever in the last century or so. Because most of them are not organizing in real life but through internet which can be easily censored or, if needed, simply turned off.

    US and EU are heading straight to police states :-(

  • noone give a damn if sopa only work on American and only in US.but on the internet there is no border or race,everyone is the same.the fking act was wrote by the retarded guy who live in the medieval ages but apply it in the modern world

  • @KlingonSpider lol @ trying to stop Piracy

  • im a band on reverbnation this sopa is bs if this pass it will miss up facebook,myspace,twitter,youtu­be and all bands need this sites up case this how we reach are fans its like this what ever happen to going to court if someone steel your stufe it up to the owner ti take to court not usa nwo to butt in

  • Eh, fuck wikipedia. They allow some really bad people to edit bio's of themselves, replacing facts with BS sugar-coating. Don't plagiarize word-for-word Hitler about particular groups and then go editing your wikipedia page when you notice how stupid you sounded. It'll still be out there on the internet, too bad they can't edit THAT.

  • i wonder what would happen to SOPA and PIPA if Ron Paul gets elected.

    or what would happen to all that expensive nation building?

  • Sopa and Pipa ..

    Now Acta.. Ok wtf?

    I'd rather live in the stone age when I can do whatever I want than not being able to do sh*t in real life or on the computer. I'll seriously stop paying for internet if it passes. Bet many will suicide
