Now the question is.

Should people who create products like movies, music, programs, games, books, porn, etc. Suffer so other companies and people, not creating these products, prosper at their expense?

That really is ultimately the question. GG thinks they should. As do a lot here arguing against the tide. Me shouting at things I don't like is getting read and answered here by the people I shout at. It has more effect than the anti SOPA brigade here.

actually re-read my post about sopa i said i would support it if the penalty for making a false claim was the revocation of the offending companies copyright.

So the real question

Is how many totally innocent sites should a copyright holder be allowed to destroy before they suffer a penalty equal to what they are dishing out.
