PIPA, SOPA Would Create Internet Gestapo

there is definitely some money involved.

not the country we used to be....

They didn't intend sopa OR pipa to pass at all. OPEN was the goal. It's the same tactics used on sudden spikes on things like gas prices. Hike 3$ to 4.50(everyone's #$%$ then drop it to 3.75. Still bad but it's not the worse...OPEN is the new "Warrantless" occupation of private computer files/use. With the passage of NDAA, and NO solid definition of what exactly terroist evidence IS, gives them the power to enforce ANYTHING they want, in ANY WAY they want, with absolutely NO overhead supervision.Look, old fairy tales still ring true...A Vampire has no power unless you invite him in....WE MUST STAND OUR GROUND AN ACCEPT NO MIDDLE GROUND ON OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR BILL OF RIGHTS, OR EVEN ONE #$%$ OUNCE OF OUR FREEDOM.Peace n Love alljw

Wow This is more than some body downloading a illegal movie , this is a little extreme to me. What happened to the fair use act, dont they know youtube or face book would no longer be on line what is this, Fascism plan and simple welcome to the new world order zig hile

Gestapo is right. They will have the power to shut down sites with out "due process". They want to skip the court all together and have their way with you as they please.

Even bank robbers and murderers have their day in court. If this is about infringement issues, then they need to bring guilty parties to trial. They can do this now, but they want to do away with the whole court battle and be given Gestapo powers over every one.

Since they can take you to court, then this is not really about infringement but more so of Power of Control. If you had a website and a cartoon drawing of a mouse that you made yourself. Then Disney might say you have a picture of Mickey and shut your site down with out you having a court hearing. It wouldn't matter if most people think the drawing doesn't resemble Mickey, it will only matter if Disney thinks it resembles. Basically it doesn't matter if they are wrong, they will have no one to answer to and will have all the power provided to THEM.

Where the hell did are right go in this country? Oh sorry we don't have any!

1984, I'm afraid.

Ultimate power corrupts ultimately! Next will be your home, for any reason, without due cause or process. Fahrenheit 451, 1984, THX1138, Equilibrium, watch 'em! We're not too far behind!

I think that the law makers need to work on law . That stop the crime on the streets not thae dam web. It is free of all of us and not just for the dam rich people that make movies and music dvds are 15 to 30 and cds that are 15 to 25. If they want us to buy them make them cheaper for us to buy. this sopa and this pipa law is so dam dum

Little by little, folks. Chip, chip, chipping away at our freedoms, Time to smell the toast, before it's too late.

Americans crack me up. Only up in arms when tyranny is kicking you in the teeth. WHAT ABOUT THE NDAA???? The government can indefinitely detain ANY American citizen without due process, legal representation, a trial, or Miranda rights. They don't need a WARRANT to kick in your door and literally make you disappear FOREVER. This has barely caused a stir with Americans, and isn't talked about openly with the media. Where is all the attention on that? There is none, because it doesn't directly affect you... Yet. The government is literally taking over. Next to come, repealing the 2nd amendment to bear arms, and Martial Law. After all, comrade Obama is trying to protect you from yourself. In soviet America, you don't own the government, the government owns you!

Some major sites that support these Bill are actually violating copyright themselves e.g.CNET

Poor lil Jonny, making a fan vid for fun. Nice lil 12 yr boy who likes this singer and artistically meshes it with a scene from his fav movie. OH CRAP!! Lil Jonny didn't know the law... he is only 12... with a blacked out web, an astronomical fine that wipes out the money saved for college and a charge on a juvie record. Poor lil Jonny and all he did was want to make something cause he was a fan.
STOP SOPA AND PIPA... IT IS TIME TO TAKE AMERICA BACK BEFORE THERE ISN'T ONE FOR OUR KIDS!!!!

This feels like the biggest communist country on earth....Even Russia dont do this!

The thugs in the congress do not use internet.They too busy counting money from lobbyists.

this government the house, senate and president are all to far out there. Go ahead and shut down websites and you can have it to yourself no more internet bill or computer or taxes on the bill sounds good.

"People know theft is wrong and I've yet to hear any protesting individual or company say "it's fine to steal other people's copyrighted works." "

What the internet has done is create simplicity. As a race, or however else might be able to use this tool, can communicate information quickly to one another. I can tell my friend about a book I read or show him my book directly in person. The internet allows me to share the same concepts online digitally. It's really hard to claim whether this is theft or merely sharing or 'showing' as it would be in person.
