    If you strongly oppose SOPA, you could E-mail any of these and tell them why you think SOPA should be destroyed.

    There goes another one~ Just like the other ones~ :D

    Also, something that just occurred to me. The supreme court will probably just strike these down as unconstitutional anyways unless they’re amended A LOT.

    The Justices are all in a job until retirement or death and all live in mansions. Trying to bribe them is like spitting in the ocean so the MPAA will have to rely on justification… which they don’t have.

    Without the mountain of dollar signs infront of their eyes they’ll be able to tell just how full of shit SOPA and PIPA are.

    The Copy[rite] Act was unconstitutional when writen by a school book publisher, Noel Webster, and a judge, Benjamin Huntington in 1789 and was unconstitutional when signed by George Washinton.

    This has been obvious for centuries but is still propogated as the United States’ legal HOAX. Regardless; I am one of the 15 supporters. I believe SOPA is a good idea after copy[rite] is recognized as an INDIVIDUAL personal right and limited to author’s life plus fifty years.

    A movie won’t have just one copy[rite] but is group’s artistic production and movies need protection by a law very much like SOPA but NOT like USC Title 17.

    Internet wire communications should already be regulated by the FCC.

    Have a merry christmas and remember the Supreme Court addresses cases brought to it but otherwise is silent.

    A corporation can’t have an individual right!

    “A corporation can’t have an individual right!”

    Merry Christmas

    In the UN-democratic United States corporations are treated as people but have not been given the rights of individuals as far as I have learned. An individual right may only be asserted by an individual. An individual has rights that can’t be purchased or sold. These rights are impossible to transfer and cease upon death of the individual. The Berne Convention protocol allows an individual’s right to be maintained for fifty years by heirs or others for preservation of the reputation of the recently deceased.

    The BACKWARDS United States’ copy[rite] or the created corporate ritual for controlling copying will now develop into both a corporate copy[rite] ritual and exclusively an individual HUMAN RIGHT.

    There goes another one. Graphic Artists Guild is against SOPA now. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111227/00454417194/graphic-artists-guild-changes-mind-withdraws-sopa-support.shtml

    Graphics Artists Guild becomes a conspirator of GOOG in another fraud like the one disguised as a class-action where Graphics Artists Guild “sued” Google Inc and hope to conspire with Google Books to create an alternative to the unconstitutional US copy[rite]. They all say it is settled although it is NOT. I opposed the unfair and dishonest conspiracy in NY as did the DOJ and thousands of others.
    IT IS NOT OVER IN NEW YORK!

    Not paying attention to BACKWARDS US copy[rite] law whatsoever are you GamerLen? That is OK. Apparently nobody here or in the copy[rite] BACKWARDS USA is either. That will change very soon.
    VERY SOON!

    SOPA in itself is NOT a violation of any amendments or an invasion of privacy — get that through your heads! Copyright infringement is terrible and should be removed. The premise of this bill is perfect, however I disagree with the means.

    SOPA is great in it’s premise, however it gives OTHER PEOPLE the power to limit our civil rights. I firmly believe this will culminate into destruction — as if they have the power they will certainly abuse it.

    SOPA is not an infringement against anything, and these internet kids need to stop bringing up the First Amendment.

    I oppose it SOPA, and hope you do too, but don’t argue with these terrible arguments.
    Logically it should pass as the only issue is our ideology and lack of trust in the government, which I believe is correct, but the government will pass it, as they want power and will assure you they will not abuse their power.

    There is nothing intrinsically wrong with SOPA.
    Again I am against it, as I distrust the government.

    SOPA does NOTHING but make it easier to ENFORCE EXISTING LAW and gives the DOJ another tool to enforce laws.

    The Supreme Court Justice who called internet wire communications the, unique and wholly new medium of worldwide human communication ,was twenty-five when the first WMD was used to terrorize Japan into surrendering in WWII. The United States did NOT enter WWII to stop Hitler from exterminating Jews but to punish Japan for bombing Pearl Harbor.

    Internet wire communications are nothing more than the logical progression of 47 USC §153 ¶(52) communications by wire and not the unique and wholly new medium of worldwide human communication called in OBVIOUS error by a Justice who was 77 and past the age for retiring and drawing Social Security at the time.

    NO JUDGE SHOULD RULE WHEN LIFE EXPERIENCES ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT!

    No judge grew up with internet wire communications!
