As far as the ability to shut down or block websites I am entirely against it. I do agree that action should be taken against users of websites who are in violation of copyright laws.
I agree, but it seems that it would be taken WAY TO FAR. Lets, say you sang a song by Adele and posted it on youtube or made a video with a can of coke in it. Corporations could sue you and you could literally be put in jail for 5 fucking years! america already is the country with the highest amount of prisons/prisoners in the entire world! You've see what they do to people in prisons, right? Last I checked, they were already running out of room and South Carolina forces the prisoners to do labor! They're forced to make things and aren't even getting paid! This is ludicrous!
I don't want to go to jail for trying to express myself. Before, I forget, congress is even trying to make a it legal to trial people WITHOUT a jury or cause. It would even try do this to people who currently live in other countries! Would they even try to do this to people who gave up their citizenships?!
WAIT. What if I can't remember my password for some accounts from YEARS ago?! I'm not even from the US and neither do I live there (never even been)! I could go to jail for that!?
*very freaked out*
I don't think you fully understand the act. There are provisions of copyright law that include fair use. You singing an Adele song would usually fall under this. If you made money by performing an Adele song you would have to pay royalties for its use.
Don't get me wrong, I'm against this law, but I don't think you fully understand how copyright works.
Are you protesting the SOPA/PIPA law?

What?
If you can't remember a password, then that should be fine.
But these people think strangely and their laws don't make any sense..

and youtube would have to start charging any member who got paid for ther videos then
Oh, I see:)
I understand that artists have to get to payed and credited for their work, but I was following what videos and most protesters have been saying.
