I read into the bill a tiny bit, but it's hard to understand. Looks like they need a separate bill for each issue instead of clumping so much into one bill.
I dug this up ........................ hope I didn't steal anyone's intellectual property in posting this.

Looks like it won't pass this time and the President says he won't sign it. But they will try again. They originally tried to get it done through the FCC.
Most of what could be considered infringement here I think are photos.
I don't see photo use as anything wrong unless a person uses another persons image to make a profit.

"Copy and Paste" is already questionable. This would probably make it a crime. If you had an old forum with 100,000 posts, could you imagine going back through those to edit?
...............um ............no, I couldn't. So then after putting a website out of business, they could track down all of us members and sue us too.................
I'm going to sign up for a class and become a lawyer....... so maybe things are finally lookin up. Wanna join my office? We'd have to come up with a lawyerish sounding name for it.

Lo, High and Associates?
As one person pointed out on another forum, under SOPA if you illegally share a Michael Jackson song, you could go to jail for 5 years. The doctor accused in his death is getting 4 years....
The Sopa bill is scheduled to come up for discussion in January. It could restrict or end many forums.
Time to inform my congressman and senator............. in case they don't hang out on forums.

Why would Redwing Shoes (amongst others) be on the list?
