As expected of them, the usual 'we dont give a damn about what you think or want, as long as it gets us more money'
All this bill will do for them is ensure the 0.0000001% of the profit they're losing goes back to them

I must disagree with you here: Piracy does hurt a lot and takes products prices up. The point is this is not the right way to deal with the problem, it's like using a Nuke to take out one guy.

That is what I believe to be the right solution, but SOPA psychos won't give up that easily..

I'm having a hard time to believe this is actually happening. Weren't you Americans always against censorship of any kind? Doesn't this go against your constitution? Fuck.
