  • America the internet is not yours so STAY AWAY

  • I suggest you investigate the case of British student Richard O'dwyer who is due to be extradited to the US and put on trial for creating a website which hosted links to other websites that offered copyrighted material. There is strong public opposition here in Britain and a feeling that the extradition treaty agreement between the uk and us is completely illegitimate.

  • We need to stop SOPA, lets "just do it".

    Youtube shut down by Nike due to unauthorized use of the phrase "Just do it".

  • If SOPA becomes law, doesn't this mean that "common use" ends? This also means that no news outlet can say "this clip courtest of ______". Also, You Tube will lose at least 50% of it's accounts overnight.

    Nobody's willing to spend the billions it would take to try and literally monitor all Net uses. In this economy, what govt. will find that kind of money?

  • PLEASE!!!! YouTube search ---> Be a HERO and Help STOP SOPA Now!! I'll tell you How! This Video that Must Be SHARED! <--- Everything inside the arrows should be copy and pasted. The guys names is Mike Mozart from jeepersmedia.

    He exposes the fact that these file sharing devices actually came from the companies that are against copyright infringement.

  • @kingme144 America, the internet is not yours!...thou shalt not Touch our rights and freedoms

  • I find it bull**** that AMERICA THINKS THEY CAN CONTROL THE INTERNET. They cant they don't own it no one does but they think they do. So i encourage everyone reading this to sign Google's petition to stop this act. PLEASE think of youtube Google tumblr and other sights.

  • I wish the sopa/pipa will stop

  • Isn't Pipa, Kate Middleton's sister?

  • ya those chicken shit whores didn't want to show their bullshit colors come pole season. Vote those anti freedom lil fuckers out including that spineless chickn shit president. Shouldn't of even been a thought when it came to view that the bill was bullshit.

  • WHO DROPPED THE SOAP?
