During in a recession. Piracy obviously is going to inflate during a recession. I'm sure most people aren't pirating things because they can afford them. Only a schmuck president would consider entertaining anti-piracy bills in a bad economic climate such as this one.

What Sony and other SOPA supporters are doing is trying to take advantage of a bad situation. They know that music sales increase every year in spite of piracy. They know piracy will go as the economy gets better.They taking advantage of it also by the sales of blank DVD's. Sony loves for you to play burned 360 games on your blank Sony DVD's. If they didn't, they wouldn't sell them. They know what you are doing with them. SOPA supporters have even been caught creating false data reports to gain the support of lobbyists.

Using the oft criticized analogy of car theft; (which I know is inaccurate for a multitude of reasons) why have the motor industry never cried out that all those stolen (and TWOCed) cars are depriving them of income?
Because they would not have realized the full price sale of a vehicle in any of those circumstances, that's why.

Any idea how much of your internet traffic goes through servers on USA ground?

SOPA hurts the whole internet, not only the USA internet

exactly,its against all websites that may infringe in copyright material and they would seek a remedy.could you imagine youtube losing all those unauthorized videos and the those wiki pages with sensitive information, this bill will make the internet controlled media and with google only giving the info its allowed to display which is less than half,what about all those Chinese fake goods, they wont last under protect ip act. what would orwell do?
