Even outside copyright issues, breaking the Internet, etc. it is unbelievable that a process that tasks the government to act in a legal capacity on behalf of companies interest without due process is pretty crazy, even in a context of company against company. What if fine cooking claims CI copied one of their recipes? Without due process, significant damage could be done to CI (or someone you actually like :) ) mostly as a matter of corporate war. Or if joe blow claims infringement by Universal. The content owners should be as scared as those who are just content carriers ( such as forums )

The White House has come out against the current versions of the bills.

UP with Chris Hayes on MSNBC just had a great discussion on it....presented both sides and I came away against it. appears to not solve the problem and create more problems.

In a surprise move today, Representative Eric Cantor(R-VA) announced that he will stop all action on SOPA, effectively killing the bill. This move was most likely due to several things. One of those things is that SOPA and PIPA met huge online protest against the bills. Another reason would be that the White House threatened to veto the bill if it had passed. However, it isn't quite time yet to celebrate, as PIPA(the Senate's version of SOPA) is still up for consideration.

I've heard it said quite a few times that SOPA is just smokescreen for PIPA.

This explains SOPA well if you're interested, but let's hope the whole SOPA becomes a moot point.
