This is the government trying to insinuate themselves into our lives; The piracy is a red herring; they just want to be able to shut down websites the deem "offensive"; The ham handedness of the congress in this matter is astounding, the arrogance of our elected officials is reprehensible. The house and senate needs to be shut down in november and replaced with people not beholden to banks and special interests!!! Vote these jerks out in november!!!

I live in Canada, and so my zip doesn't work, I have only been able to get a hold of on Representative's email... I made this, and would like it to go to as many as possible... so if you would like to spread it, or add too it, you are welcome too.

Hi, my name is Karissa Lecuyer. I live in Canada, but I have something to say about this bill.

I understand that piracy is wrong, and does need to be handled, what I don’t believe is that this bill will do just that. There is a line. SOPA walked to that line, crossed it, and then took a jet-plane as far away from it as possible, in the wrong direction.

Sites such as Tumblr and Livejournal hold many articles that could be considered “infringing” to the point where it would most likely happen that the whole website would be banned, but do you know that those websites have done for people?

Teenager’s, adults, children have used these sites to communicate with other’s, but also to feel welcomed and safe, where they may not feel so anywhere else. There have been many cases of such people who have wanted to harm themselves, or kill themselves, but because of tumblr, and the people on it, have stopped.

Also, what is considered infringed content, a line from a movie, book or TV series? Because things like those get people INTERESTED in watching or reading what they have just heard about. It is called word of mouse, and it is just as powerful, if not MORE then word of mouth. I know that’s where I get most of my information on weather to try a new book, or TV series or movie that I may not have seen or read anywhere else.

When does it stop?

How far will people go?

What about the smaller countries, who have used livejournal, twitter even tumblr or youtube to gather and finally make a stand against oppressing governments. If the USA is willing to pass a bill like this, what is stopping other countries from doing so, while tweaking it some [The USA did it, that powerful country, why can’t we?]. Stopping these rebellions, that help PEOPLE, REPRESSED PEOPLE, gaining rights?

How far will the companies go? How far are they willing to press forward for this new money they can gain?

What about the people who can’t afford to go to the movies, or buy one? What about the high prices of MOVIE TICKETS or products?

There are many other way’s that Piracy can be battled, and this is not one of them.

Please, take these words into account before you pass this bill, and spread the word, let other’s know that there is a much bigger picture then just “Stopping Piracy” that there are consequences too grave for your government to ignore.

Thank you.

This is perhaps the best article I have seen written on this subject. I am doing everything I can to get the word out on this woefully under-covered issue. Everyone needs to stand up for freedom, or we won't last long.

Thanks, Ryan. SOPA is terrifying and so awful that I really thought there was no chance of it being passed. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) the US govt has proven me wrong.

Dude, yes. Thanks so much for this. There are tons of people that totally don't understand, but you laid it out in a way that makes it relevant. It really is scary to think of what would happen if the internet was suddenly censored by the government and how intrusive it would be. Sign the petition. Get off your ass and do something! Save the bolgs!
