Discussed this with a few guys at work this morning. Makes me wonder what's coming; before, the government would slip through some kind of oppressive legislation every several years or so. Now, we've had NDAA, working on HR 3166, and SOPA, all in the span of a few months. That's a lot of oppressive legislation in a very short amount of time. What are they up to?
No doubt that SOPA is terrible for us as users of websites... Even worse is the liability of the website owners like OSA. You as a member post a picture of a rifle, the person that originally took the picture files a complaint of copyright infringement and when notified OSA has 5 days to take it offline or the govt can literally take the site off the Internet like it never existed. I'm sure OSA doesnt have tons of staff just sitting around ready to investigate copyright images to satisfy the govt investigators....
If SOPA is going to be passed it must have some limitations that websites must be hosted out of the country or there has to be some sort of dollar value lost. I can see a movie studio going after a website that is allowing bit torrent downloads of movies.. But as it stands every website on the Internet is subject to this.. It all boils down to attorneys, lobbyist and money....

This is about censorship and the .gov getting their foot in the door on controlling the internet and what we're allowed to see and do on it. This is a very slippery slope if they pass this law. I do not in any way, shape or form, support the government having the ability to control internet content.
This bill is unnecessary. There are already laws in place to protect copyright holders. They have many options available to them, including not placing their content on the internet, using existing technology to find and stop copyright violations, and filing tort claims on those who pirate the copyright holder's intellectual property.
