we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet. Any effort to combat online piracy must guard against the risk of online censorship of lawful activity and must not inhibit innovation by our dynamic businesses large and small.
- Barack Obama, US President
In case you're as ignorant as I think you are about the US government, SOPA can't be passed without the president's signature, and the president is refusing to sign it, and there was really no chance in hell that he was ever going to sign in. SOPA has been a non-issue from the beginning. Please go discuss it on Reddit, ``faggots''.
P.S. If it were passed it would just affect Americans. USA still controls DNS. Believe it or not, US invented the Internet.

SOPA not mention anywhere, politician's can be bought, corporations can pressure them.
Then Obama just states that SOPA does not reduce freedom of expression etc, suddenly enlightened by dosh.
Populist PR bullshit.
