if SOPA gets pass... END OF ZE WORLD I SAY

[Allie]

It is so being overdone..
SOPA will be basically the same as the DMCA in most cases however a force shutdown.
It'll mean youtube is shutdown, megavideo, etc, but things like BC won't.
Private servers of existing games that actually are going somewhere might.
Expo won't be going. Nor will Enigmata. Under the DMCA we could've been sued already. Did we? No.

It won't be the end of the internet. It'll be the end of most communities on the internet, possibly making it return to its original state (the internet was created for research and learning purposes only).

--I will let it be known that I am an extreme anti-SOPA person. However you're all overexaggerating SOPA's power. I've followed it since early December.

if google is going to be shutdown, how the fk will i find information on school work. D:

It's called a library.

Google won't get shutdown.
SOPA supports search engines.
Google plus might get shutdown. But google itself won't.

1/2 of all google's services can harbor piracy, that means that at least a part of google's services could be shutdown, having instant and easy communication is what makes the internet what it is today, without it we're just a bunch of loners o-o. I hope the piece of shit bill gets struck down and rewritten to actually make sense

@Kenny: You seriously think congress wouldn't care about complaints from the biggest internet giants, and most of the U.S population, whether they actually know anything about it or not

So what are the chances of websites like facebook and myspace etc getting shut down if SOPA passes?

Personally I don't care, If we lose socializing in the internet, I can get back to my normal life easier.
If it doesn't then I get to talk to happy people online.
Yep.

SOPA was claimed to be redrafted today. The announcement came from Lamar Smith himself.
It's probly a lie, but whatever.

from what i understand is SOPA can shutdown a site if a user on it posted something which is copyrighted
if that's the case then technically they can shut down anything without any trouble ...

WTF is SOPA ? aka The American Government trying to ruin the internet
