On Tuesday, ten members of Congress signed a "dear colleague" letter expressing concerns with the bill. The signers were nine Democrats plus Rep Ron Paul (R-TX), a libertarian-leaning candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.

Answer 1

I really hope this doesn't pass. I no longer trust TV for honest and unbiased news, I get much my news off the internet now and I don't want the government interfering.

Answer 2

We already have existing laws on the books that make piracy illegal. The only real problem we've ever faced has been a lack of enforcement of existing laws.



Any time someone tries to enact new legislation to target something that is already illegal, it's always misguided, it's never good, and it's probably going to have unintended consequences.

Answer 3

I absolutely dread it. Any power given to the government is another reason for them to abuse it.

Answer 4

i would never support SOPA! we wont have ANY media sites! (i dont mean NEWS, i mean... pictures, music, videos, movies...) or social networks! (since copyright has been broken by users on all of them!)

Answer 5

It's one more step down a slippery slope.

Answer 6

No. Do we really need a department of censorship in our government?
