"Right now, the focus of protecting the Internet needs to be on the Senate where Majority Leader Reid has announced his intention to try to move similar legislation in less than two weeks," he said.

2 week delay. Let's get this done.

Another one will pop up.

Can't believe in an industry that's about selling pre recorded porn so many are against controlling piracy. For what ever reason they give it's still sad.

As someone said I was late getting on the boat. When I got on it was a luxury fun cruise liner, not the one that sunk. That's the industry today. Sinking because of pirates.

From this.



To this



Because of

Pretty much.

Looks like the PROTECT IP Act in the Senate is our last hope. I wouldn't be exactly shocked if they choose to wussy out too though

"until consensus is found" are the key words. a little greasing here, a little back scratching there, change some wording here, add some wording there, and consensus could be found. that is how politics works.

Isn't or wasn't VP Joe Bydon in charge of coming up with a solution?

No doubt there are some heavies against it, but when you think about recent bills they have passed that strip actual freedoms from citizens, I don't think SOPA or any bill like it is that big of a deal in comparison. That's why I'm convinced something will eventually pass with some teeth.

Curious to see how things change after elections and campaign funds are no longer needed.

It's not like big oil and the military-industrial complex are opposed to Hollywood's wishes in this instance.

And servants, public or otherwise, are always happy to accept gratuities from all and sundry ;)

It's all about who is lobbying for what and what kind of money they are throwing behind it.

Let me put it another way then. In Washington, special interests need not be quite so powerful as the defense industry to influence votes. Capisce?

as someone said on here piracy is wrong and must be stopped. The draconian way of SOPA is not the way forward.

According to what I've read, the authors of the bill used Pirate Bay as a yardstick in which to measure the effectiveness of any law they came up with.

In other words, it was their view that any potential legislation lacking sharp enough teeth to take Pirate Bay down was pointless.

You can call that draconian if you want.

I call it commonsense.

Maybe a good time for all the opponents of SOPA to put forward their plan to protect the creative industries or fund them.

Without SOPA, or something like it, there is no plan that'll work.

The ONLY reason SOPA failed was because too many corporations stood to get hurt by it financially.

In Canada our government is moving to censor the Internet by labeling dissenting opinions or ideas "hate speech." ..I think the US government will take a "wait and see" posture for now. They might try the same tactic in America down the road if it works in Canada. That, or they will beef up Obama's new Internet ID scheme to target the individual directly. That way corporate profits are not hurt or hindered by it.

One way or the other, the Internet is going to be censored. The clowns that run the World from behind the scenes are being outed, and exposed at every step now. No one trusts their "news" anymore. Every thinking person now goes to alternative news sources (on the Internet) to find out what's really going on. Their focus at this point is to shut out alternative view points. To that end, they are not prepared to fail. Their power ultimately rides on continual deception of the masses.

Hope it sticks, there is already to much power on the internet. This needs to be managed by the people not a corporation. I have said it before we need a website that registers all content owners and what they can use. A email is not enough. If done right the hosts would be able to use that to confirm complaints.
