First off:

This message is hidden because gideongallery is on your ignore list.
Secondly: Anybody in this thread who is making broad statements and has no skin in the game is just an armchair quarterback.
And as Quentin said, it's all just speculation because the law hasn't passed yet.
But you can always tell when a law threatens a certain business model. For instance...the proposed condom law in CA. is a threat to the content producers and the porn industry. So it causes fear and consternation amongst those of us who are really in the business.
Now, this proposed SOPA law comes out and some people are just all-out opposed to it before they even know what the finished bill will look like. Why are they so afraid of something unless it's going to affect their pocketbook? Otherwise why not just ignore it until a finished bill is presented and THEN express your feelings?
At this point none of us know what the bill is going to end up being. But you better believe that ALL pirate sites and people who profit from piracy are going to be against it as long as it affects their ill-gotten gains.
And to those of you who think it will have no effect at all...then why the hell are you screaming so loud against it? If it's just a joke to the pirate sites and "won't change a thing"...then shouldn't you just stfu and not worry about it?
I guess we shall all see what happens. And then we can all:
ADAPT OR DIE!
P.S.: I'm going to guess that guys who create NOTHING like gideongallery will NOT be able to "adapt" when they can no longer steal on the internet.
