Yea, I heard less than 18% of US citizens actually approve of this thing.
In the hopes of making that even less,??here's a stirring speech from our current VP, Joe Biden.

I'm not?against?the anti-piracy thing, but giving the??Entertainment industry to practically be able to Sue or even jail people for simply humming a tune and posting it online is a bit excessive. Also??it'd probably destroy ANY RO server that isn't hosted by the officials.??Mainly because??Private servers are technically stealing their business..
Those bills call for a near complete restructure of the internet, and are extremely vague on what it does and does not cover. a person who uploads a family video up on youtube, and a random passerby who just happens to be whistling some Frank Sinatra gets caught in the background, the person who uploaded it can be sued/jailed for it.
I predict total Anarchy should these bills pass. The government will melt down and it'd be a war between Hollywood and the Millions of people who would usually give them money. Not even that fancy shmancy Pyrotechnics will save them.
