Question! This is an American law right? What stops everyone from moving their website to European servers where the laws won't apply and saying "fuck off" to any SOPA take down demands.

Interesting thought on the whole SOPA bill; if it passes will it be the tipping point that pushes us from a peaceful occupy esc. movement to a much more violent underground movement akin to WW2 German and Irish resistance movements. I mean no more porn, youtube, a large amount of video games and other fun time wasters will be gone... WHAT WILL WE HAVE TO DO BESIDES CAUSE A RUCKUS? Again this is just a curious thought and because I fear what my gov't will do; no i am not advocating violence against the US police state.

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

It wouldn't surprise me if Europe starts moving towards its own Internet since it is essentially an incredibly large network and they have little to no control over this one.
They would probably start their own authoritative DNS and move away from .com, .org, .edu and such.
Probably segregate this new network entirely if ICANN threatens to do anything.
I actually don't see this as a huge investment. It would probably be much cheaper than the GPS satellites they wanted to launch a few years ago.
Hell, we might even see IPv6!

If SOPA passes, I'll be anonymously posting stolen materials to various MPAA, RIAA, and congressional websites, then filing SOPA complaints and getting them taken down.

I give it about a month before the bill is repealed, less so if other people help.

SOPA is easily stoppable. All you have to do is call your local congressman. Don't tell them that you don't want them to vote for it. Instead, ask them what their favorite websites are.

Then you inform them that if SOPA passes, you personally will get every one of those websites taken down legally. Google, whitehouse.gov, library of congress website, facebook, youtube - gone forever.

This is not terrorism of course, but only following the letter of the law.

You may be joking, but you're right. I am working with some colleagues in the EECS department to draft up an all-encrypted, peer-to-peer distributed DNS set of protocols that would basically replace everything above the physical layer. It'll be designed such that something like SOPA could never actually regulate or shut it down. It's going to be pretty cool ... we currently have a bet standing about whether or not we'll be labeled as terrorists.

Ironically, the bill is so poorly worded that this is a valid response. Just make a new internet, don't use current standards, and don't call it the internet.

I hate SOPA with a passion. If it passes, the Internet will be destroyed. I got wind of this bill last month, and I already know that it's dangerous. It's a censorship/economic issue we're facing, as the American Government is considering actually letting the bill pass. There are those like me who refuse to let this happen. So, we must do everything we can to get rid of SOPA, for once and for all.

I swear to god I have some sort of weird psychic powers. Earlier I got the "We're Whalers on the Moon" song stuck in my head for no reason. I haven't even seen that episode in years, yet there it was; now almost 10 hours later I'm seeing something from that same exact episode.

This happens to me every day. Like one time I got a Michael Jackson song stuck in my head and it came up in a trivia game; or another time I decided to listen to the New Pornographers and one of their songs plays on TV later; or one time I was thinking if I knew the full names of all the Scooby Doo characters and somebody at my other job asked me if I knew them. Seriously, wtf?

On a serious note, Blackjack is already being blocked on the US internet thanks to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. It was tacked onto the end of a port security bill in 2006 and led to extensive domain name seizures and the arrest of the founders of the three biggest poker sites. The sites were operating perfectly legally in their own jurisdictions, but were prosecuted for their financial transactions with people in the US.

The UIGEA should serve as a warning to us all. It shows us that the US government are quite willing to ignore WTO rulings and do billions of dollars of damage through internet regulations. Perhaps most worryingly, it shows how easy it is to sneak major legislation through the legislature.
