Everyone I know and have talked to is against this. I've never seen America this united ever before. xp But seriously, though: when my art teacher says that SOPA is bad, you know things are being flushed down the toilet.

I may not be American, but I really hope that SOPA won't pass. I don't want to lose Gaia and other sites!

If you're out of states talk to your senators where you live and talk to them about the evils of SOPA. Tell them if this goes through expect the economy to tank really badly.

It would also mean I wouldn't be able to download podcasts that my teacher puts on the web because, that would be consider piracy!

Miss Emni Rose Everyone I know and have talked to is against this. I've never seen America this united ever before. xp But seriously, though: when my art teacher says that SOPA is bad, you know things are being flushed down the toilet. SOPA is bad. But most people don't really know why it's bad. Most people against SOPA are the very same pirates that gave congress the tools they needed to propose SOPA in the first place. How many of the people you know listen to songs on youtube without paying for them? How many download/stream movies/TV series without paying? Piracy has become so rampant and so abundant, the average internet user sees absolutely nothing wrong with it. And THAT is the real problem here. Yes congress is stripping us of our liberties. Yes they are establishing an oligarchy where only the social elite have a valid opinion. But that has been going on for decades (maybe centuries). Only now that they're taking away the people's ability to steal s**t from other hard working people does the public finally say something's wrong. Only once people start pushing this much for open access media and fighting the corporate entities seeking to establish shill organizations to deprive the public of unbiased public media will I believe that people REALLY know why SOPA is bad.

It's just not a federal offense until you copy (download, replicate, upload, etc.) at least $2000 worth in media within a 180 day period. But lawsuits take place in civil court not federal court. Technically speaking, if the artists/representative really wanted to, they could sue you for downloading even $0.10 worth of media. I did my final for Criminal Justice on criminal copyright infringement with my focus being on the illegal replication of intellectual property and distribution on the web.

maui boy no ka oi Miss Emni Rose Everyone I know and have talked to is against this.

Only once people start pushing this much for open access media and fighting the corporate entities seeking to establish shill organizations to deprive the public of unbiased public media will I believe that people REALLY know why SOPA is bad. Well, I agree with both of you. I am against piracy, but I myself can't help it. You see, my life is music. And if my music was available in the stores, I'd but it for sure. But I live in Holland, and there's no way I can buy Japanese vocaloid music here. I rent movies from video stores and go to the cinema, but I do need google if I'm working for school projects. I see that as expanding my knowledge. However, there's indeed a lot of pirating going around. Of course I won't say I don't ilegally download music, as said before. I think they should go on sueing people, but not censor everything. I, and a lot of other people won't find anything we need anymore, may it be for school or to find new songs which aren't common at all in your country.

You know, I support the fall of SOPA. I would not want to lose gaia. I have been on since freshman year of high school. I made friends and if this goes, I lose them.
