So what are your thoughts about SOPA?

Laws like this would be good...if they could apply to the entire world. Sadly, though the US has the majority of internet users, they are not the world and there is no border patrol to see what travels through the net. Part of that is what makes the internet so powerful. IF other countries would go along with it, great... if not... well then you have the farce that is the pedophile's dream... every country makes its own rules. I would love to see it stopped -- a lot of musicians and other artists are hurt bad by this.. why buy a CD when you can get it from Pirate Bay for free? I don't give it a snowball's chance of being enforced if it is passed.. sadly

I agree with Pagan. It's no use until it is globally (quickly and easily) enforced.

Right now there are a huge amount of countries that do not provide any collaboration to foreign police to fight even more serious internet crimes. This list includes all the underdeveloped countries and many developed wannabe countries (Brazil to name one).
