arguments about the law shutting down sites on misguided reasons. that will likely happen. just like jonny law puts innocents on death row. it happens. But mistakes enforcing a law is not a justification to have no law at all.
we actually trust the government with very important aspects of our lives. most importantly protecting our freedoms. despite numerous attempts by the government to censor people, the federal courts have consistently protected first amendment freedoms, regardless of political winds. Even the obscenity law, as close to censorship as the SC got, had trouble defining what is criminal speech, & left it vague & very hard to enforce. Fact is, the US produces some really extreme porn & virtually every producer is free to do it. They tried to get stagliano, look how that turned out. a handful who made borderline rape/assault videos (Max Hardcore & Rob Black), did some time. I would like to live in a perfect world & SOPA will only shut down pirates. It won't happen, but i will accept a small chance of losing my site so the pirates are chased into the darkest corners of the web.
