I'm watching a YouTube video now on it. What exactly does it limit?
Lots of people are barely finding out about these 2.
A couple months ago they would have a much bigger effect, the bills now are just a limp version now.
Still bad though
Will it keep me from playing PL? xD
Look at the Google Doodle...

Either way, if you live in the United States, it's very important for your freedom that you fight this legislation.
It's a fight between an industry fighting to preserve a dying business model and the greater welfare of society.
Hate the gov'm taking bribes and passing stupid bills :( ruined my day :(
Educate yourselves..

Yeah sopa is pipa is to messed up, an act to attempt to stop privacy, wont that just provoke more better pirates? I mean it wont sto anything, and it can easily be abused to cause censorship...it can also affect other countries for the chance of stopping revenue in america so its messed up, some people say that this is made because the big companies wanted nomore privacy and payed the gov't, i would believe that :o, by the way this is what I know this is very bad and takes the freedom of speech and expression of people in the US not cool >:o
Not just attempt, anything posted anything uploaded on the internet, in the US will become the Gov property. No matter what! As soon as its on their you do not own it any longer. A little different from an attempt at small piracy copies.
They are.. though very scary too, wouldn't want to be on the other end of their brilliance, though they have also been known to go a little far at times. This case they are spot on! By doing this people understand that's not just an attempt at stopping piracy, but they would have a bill to stop it and own anything on the web within the US.
ever seen that one thing by anonymous? People shouldn't fear the government the government should fear the people, the government is breaking there very own constitution for are freedom,basiclly that bill can not be permitted as it violates the constitution, if thats true people should stand up and make the government change it and take it away completely, cause we have the right to do that am i wrong? If i am sorry but it seems what im saying is true even if they wanted it that shouldnt be passed D:<
Anon is scary- they have big power. So does google tho- and wiki.
If the first video didn't make you think, try this one..(deeper analysis of the bill)

If this bill ever passed, the Gov would own Wiki and Google, anything they didn't want on the internet within the US they could do what ever like with it. No more YouTube, as nearly all the content within it could be fined and shut down, Google images, if that person posting uploading the image that they didn't own another fine and shutdown Google for allowing such things to go. It's massive if you think about it. If you uploaded a vid, and didn't realise you had some sort of copyrighted products showing or could be heard. That person could get fined and the gov could do what they like with the site/company that allowed it to happen. I know these are extreme cases but its best to be armed with this knowledge, rather than leaving it and letting them get away with the death of WWW as we know it.
Exactly. I'm not even from the US, but either way this is going to effect everyone like I said.
If the vid I mentioned was uploaded onto these forums, and the owner of the content that could be seen/heard then the US Gov, would have the power to shut these forums down within an instance, along with some hefty bills.
Oh america. Ur so dumb I'm ashamed to live here
Anyways. Hope this doesn't get passed. Basically all social networking they'll find a way to shut down and govt will control the Internet D:
Exactly! It's pretty big situation we've got, and everyone ateast need to know what its all about, and I fear without anonymous. Most would have gone along with it thinking it was just a small attempt to help decrease piracy.
On another note.. McDonald's are Pro-SOPA/PIPA.. boycott time?
