not to mention the fact that the bill is unconstitutional and will get nailed to the cross by the supreame court Why
This legislation could cause repercussions across so many current mediums of speech and assembly on the internet that it could be easily be seen as an affront to them.
The bills purpose is to stifle competitors as much as it is to stop piracy.
Take a look at the mega upload song. When mega upload was taken down by universal music group for a day they put togeather a song with various artist in suport of mega upload.
Then UMG got youtube to take down a song with no copywites to it because they didn't want people knowing or getting all actavist about wut had happened, seeing as how UMG lost and mega upload is back up and working fine.
Time and time again companies have taken down videos that arn't actually held by them because they don't like them and they have the wait to through around... now they have enough weight to kill a whole site
You're acting like SOPA gives companies the right to shut down things they don't like. No, they have to file a legitimate claim against a part of a website that is infringing copyright. Then the government takes that claim, decides if it's valid, and censors that part of the website.
Free speech does not allow for piracy because of copyright laws. If you don't like SOPA, take it up with copyright laws.
