SOPA

So...I may have misread the bill - but it sounded like this bill was focused more on corporations suing other corporations - than it was on consumer lawsuits?? If that is the case, then this 'bill' sounds like it is just fostering corporate monopolization? At this point, I'm more concerned about SOPAs effect on our (already crappy) job economy.

If corporations earn rights to black list companies due to even minor potential copyright infringements, companies lose business = are forced to shutdown = people lose jobs. If you oppose SOPA, here is a link of 'supporting' legislators to "blacklist"

Also... GoDaddy.com, for example, initially supported SOPA until it lost 72,000 domains in less than a week as a response to boycotts. That persuaded them to change their minds.

Sooo that's just another option for persuading the supporters. It's all about financial gains. Here is a good video with details on how broad the SOPA bill is.

Of course, what you read and what you see must be taken with a grain of salt. As the end of the video states that Obama's stance is in support of SOPA. When in fact, Obama has publicly stated that he does not support SOPA, while the rest of the administration stressed the importance for Obama to remain neutral.
