This is just one of the many stories on it out there, from last years attempt,
“News of the shutdowns has some observers wondering whether the US really needs COICA, the anti-counterfeiting bill that passed through a Senate committee with unanimous approval last week. That bill would allow the federal government to block access to Web sites that attorneys general deem to have infringed on copyright.”
“ However, COICA would allow the government to block access to Web sites located anywhere in the world, while Homeland Security’s take-downs are limited to servers inside the United States. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon said he would place a hold on COICA, effectively killing the bill at least until the new congressional session next year.”

just like the movie jurasic park:
i would say life (the users) wil find a way to get around this
If this bill passes, we’ll be like China, the people in China don’t have freedom of free speech or expression. The Internet is the only Industry that is growing despite the bad economy. If this bill does indeed pass, people will loose a lot of jobs.
If this bill does NOT pass, I will sue Google Inc for violating my copyrights as well as Microsoft Corporation. I will sue the FCC for not regulating wire communications as has been their duty since 1934 !
If this bill DOES pass, I will sue Google Inc for violating my copyrights as well as Microsoft Corporation. I will sue the FCC for not regulating wire communications as has been their duty since 1934.
WAIT: I already have! Now pending before three judges in the Eighth Circuit Court making SOPA irrelevant!

See 47 USC §153 ¶(52) Wire Communications DEFINED IN LAW = Internet < < < for you hoping that (porn/free speech) will require anything but the FCC being ordered to regulate the net.

SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR DAMN PORN, NOBODY CARES!

Wow this gets passed here in America. Well, then i will no longer consider U.S. as “the land of the free”
What’s the point of even blocking the most popular places on the internet? The internet has proved to become a really important part of our lives, as well as businesses. Shutting down these three great things on the internet would mean shutting down important businesses. Especially for video game companies such as Nintendo. This would surely be a big mistake that the U.S. would make, I would have to agree that it would cause a very big riot to everyone all across America.
Everyone who opposes SOPA, PIPA, and bill S.978, please join the massive call-in this coming Tuesday, November 29.
https://donate.mozilla.org/page/s/commit-to-call-pipa?source=tw-share
Please tell them we really don’t want our Internet censored, and the general public wants PIPA, SOPA, and S.978 destroyed ASAP.
There are several reasons that SOPA, PIPA, and S.978 should not get passed:
1) It should not be a felony to upload anyone singing a pop song on YouTube.
2) MANY innocent people could be going to jail.
3) A lot of popular websites could get taken down. (e.g. YouTube, Google, Facebook, Flickr, etc.)
4) We need our Internet freedom! After all, this IS America, not China.
5) The bills are TOO broad and too vague.
6) People deem them “the worst piece(s) of IP legislation.”

You have to be joking? Really? Are you kidding? Do you have Google? Scroogle?
Here you go,
US authorities have initiated the largest round of domain name seizures yet as part of their continued crackdown on counterfeit and piracy-related websites. With just a few days to go until “Cyber Monday” more than 100 domain names have been taken over by the feds to protect the commercial interests of US companies. The seizures are disputable, as the SOPA bill which aims to specifically legitimize such actions is still pending in Congress.

Updated In November, 2011 – On 4/15/2011, the world of online poker was turned upside down. The United States Department of Justice shutdown Pokerstars.com, FulltiltPoker.com, UB.com and AbsolutePoker.com. They shutdown the largest US poker rooms and indicted the CEO’s for each room. It is not illegal to play online poker in the USA so the DOJ found some banking violations to use against the world’s largest poker websites. They didn’t actually shutdown these poker rooms, they seized the domains.

And just to comment on your “The Internet wire communications will finally be safe for children” comment Curtis:

Though it has absolutely nothing to do with this bill…

So you are a big supporter of censorship by the government apparently.
“Anything pertaining to a foreign website applies domestically.- BTW”
Maybe we need a “great firewall” like China too?
I have to ask about this one too:
“All visual artist should have the right to control where their visual art is displayed to minors WITHOUT relying on filtration!”
What about all those cable channels?

Thanks, I see the similarity. Adult material is NOT available on publicly accessible cable unless the cable has Internet wire communications. Adult material is generally subscription and the TV with adult material access by cable is assumed to be monitored by an adult.
Leaving adult material available and accessible on television via cable where a minor may view it is contributing to the delinquency of minors in most US jurisdictions.
The FCC regulates most cable television communications as you can note from the fines that CBS was given for Ms Jackson’s 2004 Superbowl wardrobe malfunction .
CENSOR the INTERNET!
