Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)

Just one quick thing I want to add about SOPA and PIPA. These bills are so bad that they've actually gotten people on the internet to agree with each other.

LOL ... Seriously. How often does that happen?

Does anyone know when they are coming up for votes?

you just have to laugh to keep from banging your head against the wall

sigh

Just getting back to respond to some of this, and does anyone know how this is getting pushed through Congress considering there are some MAJOR opponents of it.

Geez, I went to OpenCongress (http://www.opencongress.org/bill/all) to see about the status of SOPA, and saw that there are currently 3760+ bills in front of the House of Representatives, and 2020+ bills in front of the Senate. No, I didn't look at each one, or check them all, I took that site's count as valid, but those numbers just reinforce my belief that the government is too wild and out of control. There is no way 537 people are effectively judging those bills and forwarding only the "good" ones on. Further, even if they were, there is no way that the President can fully understand every paper that he is signing into law. maybe we could get an amendment to a bill snuck through that limits the number of bills per session, and the length of the text of any introduced bill (so people don't make neverending bills)

But back to SOPA, this page (http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3261/money) does a good job listing out money backers and supporters/opponents

There has to be a sarcastic comment that I can't come up with but one of the listed opponent organizations to the bill is: ICanHasCheezburger

we are doomed

SOPA controversy has Congress in a pickle?

Internet companies mustard up the courage to fight SOPA?

Can SOPA ketchup to online pirates?
