You should have freaked out about the Patriot Act, not a law that is created to shut down those who steal from others. Fat of the matter is, the government can do ANYTHING it wants, right now, with or without that law. Toss some child porn on your site and see what happens.

The Government is all you have to put your trust into. Unless you know of a better organisation they are it.

This was said about the internet kill switch too. We're still here. Said about 2257. We're still here. SOPA will work or it won't, and we'll "adapt or die." Hopefully, most operating illegally will die.
Don't steal, don't worry. Simple theory. You don't do it offline, so don't do it online. If you do and you get caught, sorry about your luck.

2257 hurt a lot of people, made them have to look at their content in a different way. And a lot of the other changes hurt a lot of people. The 1% CB rule hurt some, then Visa and cross selling and more things.
A lot of people here I think benefit financially by not having to police their content, make money from piracy or just enjoy getting things for free. What do you expect them to say?

Every TV program has been cleared for copyright. It is not difficult. It is done everyday.

This guy loves the idea of not having to check if you own the music you're playing in a movie. Loves the idea of grabbing something for nothing. Always been pro piracy.
Wants to change the law and has no clue what the law is. Unless he's a qualified lawyer.
