You bring up some good points konrad. And you're right NONE of those scenarios do apply to me in any way at all.
It definitely could affect people who don't produce their own content and music,etc. But not me.
And the things you point out are already against the law anyway. Every point you just made is illegal and the same actions could be taken right now without SOPA
I'm more interested in stopping pirates from downloading every members area and re-posting it on file share, illegit tubes, and bit torrent sites and killing the business.
As for hosting...IF the U.S. blocks all those pirate sites that run to European hosting companies...it won't bother me one little bit. Guess what? People in the U.S. would then return to websites that are not stealing and the hosting companies right here would still have that U.S. traffic.
I think that you might only be looking at SOME of the possibilities without thinking about the positive ones as well.
I've tried to think of how this law could possibly negatively affect me or any other honest guys who shoot their own stuff and/or legit buy their content fully licensed and run a tight ship.
I can not think of even ONE thing. And even if some theoretical thing could "hurt" me...it would pale in comparison to what thieves have already done with piracy to this business.
I watched a million dollar a year income from being an affiliate drop to a few thousand a month because every program had their entire members areas available for free on pirate sites. Nobody wants to buy something that is already free.
EDIT: Also...on your comment on site design. Zuzanna did mine. And she used the pictures I gave her for the graphics, pictures I personally took and own. So that one doesn't apply either. I run a tight, tight ship here..As everyone should.
