Here's a couple interesting things I heard.
1. MPAA's Michael O'Leary showed support for regimes that censor the internet,by saying that "the internet isn't broken" in places like China and Iran...
2. O'Leary continues to pull at heart strings, by trying to rope all sorts of other businesses into the movie and TV industry including (I'm not joking) the dry cleaners that serve the cast and crew on location. Apparently, without movies, dry cleanersgo out of business. Think of the poor dry cleaners!
3. The House Judiciary Committee had stacked the SOPA meeting 5 to 1 in favor of the bill. The five were the Register of Copyrights, the MPAA, Pfizer, MasterCard, and the AFL-CIO. The one opposing company was Google, which had a history of copyright problems. People with legitimate concerns about this bill were shut out entirely, left without a voice.
MasterCard actually threw a curveball and highlighted the problems of SOPA, rather than send a very pro-SOPA message. They said that Mastercard "highlights the massive liability and compliance costs that are likely to come from the bill."
So yeah. Our government is out to screw us over. And they could succeed.
But maybe I could take advantage of it. If I file complaints about sites, could I use their power to take down sites I don't like?
You know about Touhou Project? I feel awkward knowing about it. Nothing about it has been released in America, and you won't find any Touhou merchandise in any store or their websites, not even FYE or Entertainment Earth. Americans should not know about it. Will the SOPA bill handle copyrighted material originating from other countries?
Come to think of it, let's get rid of J-Pop stuff as well, and for the same reason as Touhou. You will never hear genuine J-pop anywhere on American TV except for anime themes.
<Censors users who bring up that one American Dad episode>
Come to think of it, I should also make up copyright stuff against porn sites! And maybe I will find some random sites to attack for no reason!!!

You know what? The thought of me screwing people over gives me an adrenaline rush. Isn't that weird? Maybe that's why those people want to censor the Internet. Who needs cocaine or heroin when you can just f*** the people you rule over?
