There is a reason why conservatives tend to view this as a greater issue. We fear being censored, and if establishment Dems or Reps get this passed, how will we be able to get our voices heard. It's not just piracy or whatnot, but it opens the precedence of online censorship. This is a partisan-less issue, and one that threatens anyone who has a view outside the established norms.

Either it won't pass or somewhere along the line it will get struck down as unconstitutional. I mean, you're going to try and sue Google for not censoring their search results? I pity the fool.

Its not just a conservative view.

All i can think that if this passes in the United States this country will note WILL be overthrown.

People would lose all loyalty for the government and overthrow the government.

There would be no need for bi-partisanship if passes because EVERYONE will join a single group just to get the internet back

Last I understand it, there is also an international copyright agreement/treaty/etc.. in the works. It has met the past couple of years and aims to do the same what project ip is trying to do. Except it's all closed door non-transparent, take it up the ass kind of deal. I need to hunt down the post that explained it but I'm unsure which blog I follow released the details.

The Internet Is For Freedom of the Day: One of the more inspired maneuvers used by anti-SOPA lawmakers to try and stymie their near-invincible opponents during yesterday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing was attempted by Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), who introduced an amendment excluding “pornography” from SOPA’s protection [pdf].

The genius of it was that the bill’s supporters, particularly its conservative author Rep. Lamar Smith, would likely want to avoid voting in favor of a bill that has the best interests of the adult film industry at heart.

Additionally, determining what constituted “pornography” would undoubtedly leave many entertainment industry properties such as rap songs and certain mainstream films vulnerable to exclusion — something the bigwigs behind SOPA would not particularly care for.

Though the effort was short-lived — the amendment was ultimately defeated by pro-SOPA politicians — it did manage to accomplish two important feats.

It contributed to the derailment of the hearing, which in turn led to the clock running out, forcing the postponement of the debate indefinitely (alert: word is that the markup might start up again next Wednesday)

Perhaps more importantly, however, it accomplished something heretofore thought impossible: The insertion of the lyrics to Avenue Q’s Internet-famous number “The Internet is for Porn” (below) into the official congressional hearing record.

The Anti-Counterfieting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has been passed without debate into discussion in european parliament by the EU council. They got it through by sticking it on the tail-end of an agriculture and fishery meeting.
