Look, it boils down to this. Piracy is bad. SOPA is using a nuclear missile to crack a walnut. It is badly thought out, technically ridiculous and gives power to your competitor to get your billing and hosting and site shut down. It is not a good idea to break the internet entirely in order to try and stop piracy.

And are you 100% sure your designer paid for every font on your site? And has that documented? You've seen his license for whatever editing software your editor uses? And the guy that does your music, you are totally sure he paid for his copy of Logic, and all the plug ins?

Even if all that is totally legal, all it takes, and I struggle to see why people don't get this, is for someone you've pissed off to report you and then with no judicial process, 5 days later your site has its billing and hosting removed.

You think this is a good solution?

Really?

No one is saying piracy is good. But this bill is not a tenable solution.
So SOPA will not work. Do you have a better idea?

You struggle to see why people don't get the bit I emboldened because it won't happen. Go quote the part of the law that says this.

Even if it does, it will mean porn moves offline and people have to buy it again. Pornographers will make a fortune again, I might come out of retirement. Of course online marketing men will be fucked royally. Shame isn't it.

And please no bullshit about how much more money is made online than was made offline, you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Go on tell us about ABC figures and prove it.
