SOPA/PIPA

so ridiculous.
I don't see how it is even possible for this crap to pass. Who could possibly support it other than hollywood?

Just want to note that not all professional artists are supporting it. Hollywood, yea I can see that but there are great people in the media field who do not support it/agree with it. I think the only people hopping on the bandwagon are the sell outs.

My favorite author, Neil Gaiman, actually wrote an open letter to Washington "from artists and creators". A bunch of people have signed it including directors, producers, actors, authors and musicians. It is quite the neat read and I hope that congress listens up.

It's not really anyone who's creating this content, but the CEOs of the production companies that are for it. Nobody with a creative mind wants to stop the spread of information. Just rich old business men that should be euthanized.

There's no way it would hold up in court anyway. The whole purpose is to intimidate people into submission when they don't have the resources to fight back. It's like creating a whole new group of trolls to join the ones trying to extort money over old patents and the ones trying to do "reputation repair."
