Slowly, like a disease. First, it will strike simple sites with not much support, slowly tearing the sites limb from limb and destroying them. But after a while, small sites just won't do it for them. THEY'LL TARGET OUR SITES, FACEBOOK YOURUBE TWITTER REDDIT- you name it, none are safe. No matter how many users, how much support, how much GOVERMENTAL backing, SOPA allows sites to be shut down because of the simplest things. So next time you post those song lyrics or that picture on Facebook, the government wouldn't have to bat an eye to shut down the ENTIRE SITE. Yep, because of one instance of copyrighted material.
