Yay!!!!!! There is more ways of dealing with piracy, but censoring the internet won't do it.

I'm not against rules on the internet, but something with such broad terms that if somebody on this message board has a picture in their signature that the entire message board gets pulled.......that's a little extreme.

This is good news, no doubt, but I fully expect to see another bill very similar to this introduced in the near future. I don't mean to be pessimistic, but I think the path to online censorship has just been momentarily blocked, not destroyed.

I would feel a lot more relieved about this but I just know something drastic is going to happen that will involve the internet giving the government a "justifiable" reason to go through with this bill and there won't be a damn thing we can do about it.

While a wonderfully good piece of news, the core problem is the people in office who still, after everything, supported this bill in the first place. Something watered down will weasel its way into law with the current establishment, and we can only hope that it isn't going to be even half as damaging as SOPA could have been.

But I do however agree with facemeat statement on this one. |

They'll just wait and pass another one at a later date without informing the public.
But we should fight against more bills.
NDAA could lock you up for the rest of your life? Meh.
Youtube could be taken away? Those bastards are going to pay.

Youtube could be taken away? Those bastards are going to pay. I wholeheartedly agree, but it's a lot harder to fight against something that's already been signed into law, especially when most people don't seem to understand or care about the ramifications of it. |

No one (general term because there were those that did) cared about NDAA before it passed. They just went about their day. But their favorite website may be in trouble, they'll be up in arms over it. Ron Paul introduced a bill to get rid of the part of the NDAA that allows for indefinite detention. We should get behind that bill. |

It'll be back. Last week they said it was shelved until further notice and then it wasn't, so lets just wait and see.

Good Punishing Americans for a crime commited overseas was ludacris.
Not to mention its the MPAA's fault piracy even happens in the first place so they should be put under the spotlight. Stop Outsourcing.
