If SOPA goes through...

[Technical Abbreviations]

Assuming it isnt successfully appealed, what do you expect your short/long term reaction would be?

[autism]

Anonymous tries to help us and make everything worse. Again. I mean theyve even said if the bill goes through theyre going to fuck america.

A 5 minute break before raging about ECTA and PIPA.

My reaction would be censored.

This already happened/happens in China and North Korea. This is such a big fuss.

Correct me, if wrong.

[Nicknero]

I wonder what's going to happen to Youtube etc when this ever passes.

And I wonder how long it takes before them IDIOTS to realize their economy will be destroyed in the matter of days if this passes.

If SOPA goes through then its all over.

If SOPA goes through then its all over.

Haha, if it goes through not everything is over. There will be internet. - Very restricted YouTube (probably a whitelist and full sweep/or you have to give a big ass summary, massive ads) - And for you Americans, USD will suck. Economy will fuck up, and other countries will either get fucked up, or stabilize their Economy by buying shit in America and selling it in their country.

If it's as bad as everyone says it is, then, my entire life will be over, no internet, no gmod, no youtube, hell, probably not even google.

There would most likely be a lot of ranting on tv's and all other sources of media until it was repealed. Bitching FTW

I think an important point to put here is that SOPA will NOT go through and you would know that if you were watching the polling about it.

However, our next problem is PIPA (Protect IP Act) which is going to be brought forward soon. It's a common tactic in not only politics, but many different areas where you need to get a decision through.

PIPA is basically the same thing, except not as extreme. Therefore, SOPA was never expected to get passed, it was made to seem and an extreme approach to internet regularity, then, when everyone votes no to it, they bring PIPA forward and it seems not as drastic so they decide to pass it. It's all in providing that less extreme alternative, almost like asking someone "You want to get crushed by a steam roller or have me throw this rock at your head?" you would choose the less extreme decision, even though they both suck.

They won't go through, reason being, every single republican candidate OPPOSES SOPA along with Obama. Obama said he will veto both bills. Ron Paul hates the idea, so does Mitt and Gingrich (must we talk about Rick Sanatorum plz no I dont like that guy). I think they need to make some better technology to lessen piracy, as it is something you can't stop. I hate piracy and I am greatly opposed to it, but SOPA and PIPA are wrong.

[Puppy]

SOPA/PIPA WILL not go through, piracy is wrong, yes, but there is also another factor, if it does pass, then that would mean EVERYTHING would go down, but IMO if it does pass, then everything will be completley screwed over.

[Top Hatted Cat]

If SOPA goes through... I kill myself.

5% warning for necro posting.

[Mr Jive]

Pretending Sopa was passed (which it won't be) anyone else think it could end up being like the ban on alchol in 1920s (I think) America? So underground Internet gangs, illegal broadband suppliers etc. etc.
