If the SOPA bill ever comes into power and is now a new law what sort of things will happen afterward? How will people react to almost every site on the internet being blocked? How long do you think that this bill might last?
For me I give it a month or a year at most for it to last then it would be gone. What about you?

It wont last long. Piracy wont be stopped, The good websites will be blocked and the internet will slow down due to them blocking all the websites they deem bad. Its another WTF were they thinking moment.
Put the internet in the governments hands….and whats the point of having the internet? I swear i couldn’t bear watching yahoo news government propaganada everywhere.
Research Net Neutrality. SOPA will have a similar effect minus the “equal” bandwidth.
Kids might actually have to pay for the crap they download without breaking the law.
Suck it up!
Welcome to the real world.
I have no idea if it will pass or how long it would last because I can never tell what the government’s going to do nowadays. And as for consequences, way too many to list so here’s a link.
ps. under sopa, that video and website would almost certainly be blocked.
Facebook, youtube, and other social media sites could be blocked. And nothing would stop other sites being blocked too. Each and every day we lose more and more of our rights. Freedom of speech and the press mean nothing to greedy self interested politicians.
No offense, but this is why I hate American’s.
WAY TO RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US YOU TURDS.
Now, I’m really talking to the politicians
I liked Obama..
Wow! What a crop of ignorant answers you have!
SOPA and S.978 will have NO IMPACT on anyone who is not making a profit from willful copyright infringement. That should be obvious to anyone who has actually bothered to read the bills rather than those content to believe the steady stream of lies fed to them by self-serving criminals.
It is ALREADY a felony to upload (publish) copyright infringement materials for profit; has been since 1986. That won’t change. What WILL change is the ability of the feds to take action to protect the US owners of copyrighted materials being illegally broadcast by website owners who intentionally ignore the laws.
Internet sites that voluntarily “take down” copyright infringements that are called to their attention are already immune from lawsuit under the DMCA of 1998.
One could at least HOPE that there are some law-abiding citizens out there with something useful to OF THEIR OWN to contribute, without ripping off creative content paid for by others.
Well if it did pass. It will hopefully be a wake up call to those Americans who do not care about their rights to diligently defend them. It is highly unconstitutional and I strongly suggest you petition the Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of it.
