SOPA will make little difference to the porn industry. We're too fond of giving it away for free for SOPA to have a real effect. Those downloading pirated movies, will move to Tubes who will make sure they don't lose their traffic because of a lack of full scenes.

The extra cost might be covered by those advertising on piracy sites, having to buy space on legal sites.

SOPA will not break the Internet either, the Internet is far too powerful for that and the scare mongers pushing that myth know it.

Yes Youtube will have to clean up it's act. Google will no longer give porn piracy sites top ranking, because they will fall away if the act works. It might give legal Tubes top ranking, but that's legal. Adapt or die.

And that's the nub of it. all you adapt or die clowns and the ones who tell me I never adapted to the new Internet. Will have to adapt to a new Internet yourself. And it scares you.

No more free pirated music, games, films, etc. And what ever else you used to enjoy for free. If SOPA works. If it doesn't they will take a bigger sledge hammer to crack the problem. Because the US loses too much money to allow it to continue. Not individual companies, the US and EU. Countries where the creative work is created, lose out to pirates based in other countries.

Yes big companies are pushing for it and you are pawns in their game. You can bitch till your blue in the face, like 2257, .xxx, the 1% CB ceiling, etc. Adapt or fuck off. Because nothing you say here will change.

You guys are worse than me bitching about how it used to be. Get on with working out how to make use of the changes and being ahead of the game and not bitching here and losing valuable time. Because nothing you say, post or do will have any effect when the law passes.
