Yeah that's a great idea, give them even more reason to back this bill.

The Internet doesn't project sarcasm very well. Still, it would be rediculous how much pirating would increase as soon as this bill is passed (which, given the circumstances, the bill probably will). I'm no more into it than the next guy.

Hollywood and software giants are like giant aspies. They don't get the subtle hints that the stricter they license their media, the more it's going to get cracked and pirated, especially when the DRM gets in the way for legitimate end users/viewers.

I'm not saying I am or am not contributing to it, but if the bill gets passed, the results will probably be hilarious.

like people will all stop using their Iphone.
everyone's always all up in arms shouting YEAH BOYCOTT BOYCOTT, but they'll all buy in at the very first second they can.

I know it's alphabetized, but I find it hilarious that Autodesk and Adobe are at the top. Two of the worst software monopolists right now. Sorry, I don't care how productive your software is, but paying $4000 for something intangible (like code) is a joke for non-studio purposes. How is a man supposed to teach himself to use your product so he can get a job, using your product (and therefore supporting it), if he can't afford the product at home to learn with?

Has this failed yet?

Now we need to focus on Protect IP...

Opposition includes Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, LinkedIn, eBay, Mozilla Corporation, the Brookings Institution, and human rights organizations such as Reporters Without Borders.

If said organization continues to oppose this it will never pass, we all know Google practically owns the Internet.
