Gosh this is tiresome. I based my *opinion* on reading the articles from the DNS experts.
I linked you to the site where the experts explained the problems with the DNS part of SOPA.

Would you like to explain why they are wrong?

Yes. Your point is that you think *I* am a DNS expert and wrote articles explaining why the DNS issues with SOPA are very dangerous?

Good point! This is awesome fun.

How do you imagine they would *get* this information? How does a government measure the impact of sites with pirated content on exactly? Do you think the file locker sites just tell them?

No, that isn't, but the part where you said I didn't know something was.

Well, you are desperately trying to, but you're not really doing it very well.

No I didn't. I said they have a firewall and it doesn't work. Really, try quoting what I say, then attempting your counterpoint. It makes it much more cohesive.

No I didn't. Really, quote what I say.

You made that comparison. I said China had internet censorship. Do keep up.

It is totally about history. Since the dawn of mankind piracy has been unstoppable. Then the digital age came along and it is now REALLY VERY unstoppable.

Do you seriously, honestly, in your heart of hearts think that someone will come up with something and all the pirates will just go "ok, that's us done". You don't think they will change? You don't think they will just create another internet? Seriously?

I never said to rescind laws because they don't work. There is a law against copyright infringement. There should be. Please, quote what I say rather than waste time making facetious points about stuff no one said.

And yet you cannot actually make a SINGLE counterpoint to ONE of them. So go figure.

All you need is the pure IP.

Please provide your counterpoint as to why that is wrong. (This should be good for a laugh...)

Then (for bonus points) go on to explain why it is a good idea for

1) your competition to be able to get your site shut down in 5 days with no judicial process or proof
2) to allow the US government to censor the internet

And then tell me if you honestly think this bill will have any impact whatsoever on adult website revenue and why.
