I had not heard about this PIPA and SOPA until yesterday... I should read the news and keep up with stuff a little better, I guess...
I am having a hard time grasping the reason behind these Anti-Piracy bills... Is anti-piracy so important during this time of recession??? I do not know about where you live but here it feels like we are in a depression instead of a recession... Why is our law makers wasting time on online anti-piracy??? I can think of hundreds of more important things to take care of... The only reason I can come up with is MONEY... So someone please explain to our law makers that their job is not to line their pockets and pass laws that are for the good of ALL the people not a hand full that are paying you to pass the laws... Now for the ones pushing these bills... Where does it stop??? Do we pass laws next to close all use book stores and librarys??? or how about figure a way to make it illegal to borrow bread from your neighbor because the maker could have made money if you went and bought it yourself??? Do you really think that passing this is going to make you more money??? My guess is you are about to lose your *ss... A lot of people that would use piracy to watch a show, listen to music or read a book do this because they CAN NOT AFFORD to do it any other way!!! So now all you have done is lost views and I guarantee you that you will lose more just because of your support of these bills...If you do not want your product, be it a movie, a song, a book or anything else pirated than DO NOT PUT IT OUT THERE... If you want your product viewed and rated deal with the piracy and know that most of the ones doing it will buy when they can...It is not like you are not making money... How many of you know that when a movie comes to your theater, the owner has to pay for the movie plus they have to give a large percent of their ticket sales too... Did you know that the music you listen to on the radio, the station owners have to pay so much to play music then they have to pay for every song that is played... Come on... All this is doing for me is pushing me and all my friends in the direction of who wants to watch your show, your movie or listen to your song if you are so greedy that you need more and more to be satisfied... Have you ever thought that just maybe you are not being taken from as much as you think???
Wake up and smell the coffee... Put on your big boy pants... It is better to lose a little income than to p*ss off the majority of your money paying people and lose it all...

My family is avid movie watchers... I am a music lover and love to read... Browse through my blog and you will see many music videos and post on movies and shows we have liked... We work hard for the little money we have and we do buy movies a lot... I have a huge movie collection of all types of shows... If this law passes I will stop my reviews and any mentions of movies or songs that I like... I will also let any artist or producer or anyone that I find out supports these bills that I will no longer buy their movies, pay for a ticket to watch their movies, buy their CD or pay for a ticket to their concert...
I do not support piracy... Yes it is wrong... But where do you draw the line??? I am sure the ones supporting this would say my blog is full of piracy because I use videos of YouTube to support and review... Look at it our way, we use your movie trailers and your pictures and your songs to support you and get you new watchers and listeners... you could always fork over some of that money you are so wanting more of to pay the ones that push your product and get you new customers... But no, you want your cake and to eat it too...
We have people starving right here in the US, I for one thinks maybe, just maybe we could pass some sort of bill to help the starving and the poor in someway.
Maybe if all the law makers and people pushing the bills like these (not only these) had to live in the everyday persons place for 1 week they would step back and rethink their choices...
We the people, For the people
does not mean
We the people with money, for the people with money...
I better get off my soapbox now before I start on to health care, education, gun control laws and all the other things I feel our government needs to rethink their stand on...
Big Money
=
Big Votes
That's what I think it boils down to...

I do think it's important to protect a person's intellectual property. That includes your blog. However, these bills were badly written and need an overhaul. Looks like now they may get it.
I agree... I just think there is so much more they need to be dealing with right now. It is wrong to steal and that is what the piracy is but they way they had it it seemed everything was going to be piracy and it was going to be more like if we don't like what you say we block you...
