This site (and most likely other scene sites) most likely will be forced to shutdown if that law passes.

Good summary of this here:

All I did was fill out that form and it said "sent a letter to your rep" does that mean I signed?

"That could be as little as posting on a forum and talking about product, posting a picture of you with a logo in it, or posting a video with music in the background, we just don't know how far they will try to reach... "


NO MORE AVATARS?!

This censorship thing is just stupid, I think they been trying to do it for years but when Obama started talking about it was when it started to hit the fan, which if you remember it was once announced that Obama's election was very influenced by word of mouth on the Internet..... Idk everytime I think about this bill I can't help but think Obama is out there somewhere laughing.... I think he's very involved in this thing.

Correct me if I am wrong, but won't the site still be allowed to run so long as it does not use a domain name? I mean, could we just add the IP address to our favorites?

I'm from Australia and I know that if this bill gets passed, it will be a 'good reason' to pass already rejected censorship legislation through our government.

Is there any way that i can help?

They really won't have to; the US has so much control over the internet that changes here = changes everywhere.

It's quite ironic. Do they have a reason behind it rather than to save the media industry?

Will it help the broken American economy in such a large and beneficial way? Or some other reason?
