It has? If it has been passed, it would be everywhere by now, but I can't see anything. Provide a link to your source. |

It's passing in committee, which means that it moves on to the House, then to the Senate, and then to the President. It could be defeated at any one of those points. |

Fuck, "Thirty million dollars for the perverted arts" passes in committee. Let's panic when it matters. |

The US is a big fat plutocracy now. Capital runs government, and capital in this country is owned by inbred narcissistic douchebags who are stomping their iron boot in the face of freedom and equality. So, uh... you wouldn't hurt my feelings if you judged us, Mr. Bunyip. |

So when do they start? The takedowns, I mean. It's not a law yet, right? |
| JamesCorck #776822 7 months ago |
^ No it isn't.
It's still has to go through three stages before it even becomes a law, and even with that it will take a while until it gets implemented. I saw during the end of the first quarter in 2012. |
| ILSS #776826 7 months ago |
It isn't even really out of committee yet, it's just all but certain won't be voted down. |
| wandering_wastrel #776827 7 months ago |
There's only one way (other than burning D.C. to the ground and lynching the lot of them) to fight against this, and that's to stop. Stop buying DVDs and BluRays. Stop going to the movies. Stop buying music. Stop using the streaming services. Stop renting as well. Cancel your cable.
Don't give them ANY of your money. You see, they've forgotten that they need us far more than we need them. If you want to make ponies the sole exception to this, that's fine (hell, I probably will too). Otherwise, hurt them in the only place they care about -- their pocketbook. |
| Anonymous #776832 7 months ago |
What Wandering said.
It's only a shitty committee vote, and the votes were not to amend it. It needs to get through the House and the Senate and then Obama would have to not veto it. Fuck wishing and hoping it won't pass. It's time for people to start protesting the fucking movie theaters. |

Slow peaceful tactics raise awareness, but I dont think youll ever fix murica if you dont do anything dramatic. Something that forces them to react or wake up from their dillusion. |
| Anonymous #776876 7 months ago |
It hasn't passed yet. I checked, they're marking it up first. |
| Anonymous #776886 7 months ago |
This is literally unpassible.
Why? 1. Right of Free Speech. 2. It's censoring other countries internet without consent. Those two reasons are the reasons why SOPA is doomed to fail. |
| Anonymous #776907 7 months ago |
Protesting isn't enough. Stopping everyone from physically wanting this to pass is the only answer. The Internet is at stake!
Anyone own a gun? :p |
| Anonymous #776912 7 months ago |
And even if it passes, what's to stop bronies from just uploading episodes to Dailymotion (based in France) or Youku (based in China)? Or The Pirate Bay, the world's most lawsuit-resistant website? It's bad news for the Tumblr blogs, but why not simply move to a non-US based competitor of them? It will be bad for free speech, but it will still be easy to get our ponies. |
| Anonymous #776914 7 months ago |
There's no way this will pass. They have done similar attempts with this type of law in the past, and they all failed due to ridiciously restricting punishments.
This one is no exception. The punishments stated in the law are so insane that most of the public is simply not going to agree on it. I mean singing your favorite copyrighted song in a video can land you with at least five years of jail time and give you felon status. Who the Hell will agree to that? |

(Plausible speculation/conspiracy)
You are aware that the media companies are bribing the US Government right? As in, pass this law, and we'll together an pay an amount approaching $1,000,000,000,000. That's right, A TRILLION DOLLARS!!! And the media companies, together, can easily pay that. Especially after all the lawsuits they will be doing. I wonder if I will be affected? My PC has the Batman Protocol for internet use. |
| MeteorVenture #776927 7 months ago |
It's not all that 'it wont pass because its stupid so dont panic yet', its the fact that, regardless, there are people who SUPPORT it to an extent where it even got THIS far. |

I can't see how they expect SOPA to work without the entire country starting a new civil war. |
| Wheezie_Moonflower #777536 7 months ago |
SOPA will kill all sales of used books/games/DVD/software. The makers will claim that doing that is infringing their sales on their "current version." A lot of the hard work fought by some eBay sellers will be all thrown out, especially that Autodesk CAD seller a few years back. When we finally get bored of Skyrim, we'll only be able to throw our copy in the trash. Pawn shops won't even buy it as they can't sell it online.
We gotta tell the Prez to stop this thing. |
| Anonymous #778735 7 months ago |
this bill is unconstitutional and should be brought to the attention of the supreme court why is it unconstitutional 1. it violates the first amendment to freedom of expression. 2. it circumvents the sixth amendment by skipping the judicial process. 3. it circumvents the seventh amendment of allowing a trial by jury. that is three different amendments violated. could a brony who is a lawyer go and take this to court you would be the hero of the internet |
