Massive overreach. No one will be called on it though, this is all backed by the DoJ if not pushed by.

I think there is huge lobbying from Hollywood not to mention big bucks being dumped into Washington and politicians greased hands to pass this rubbish into law.

Our liberty is at steak

This just shows how the money the politician gets affects the laws and policies they enforce. All of those special interests dont give all those millions of dollars and expect nothing in return

Shutting them down is overreaching.

Suing them for millions and charging the owners with criminal copyright infringement is the way to go.

Countries that chose to thumb their noses at our request to stop intellectual property theft should be met with massive tariffs and the removal of all copyright protection for their intellectual property here in the States. They are free to think stealing is freedom of speech and we are free to take action against it.

Shutting them down is absolutely the right answer. They would be nowhere without illegal file sharing generating hits.

Half the stuff you guys think is legit isn't. Like unlicensed mods and such.

It already has. Megaporn has been down since the feds took down the others. It's only a short while before masturbation material becomes scarce like it was before the internet and the men of the word start to become agitated and high strung

SOPA might just have doomed the human race.
