    As unlikely as this bill is to pass, I'm still terrified as to what would happen if it did.

    The problem is, the reason I fear that it MIGHT pass, is that it already made it through the House of Representatives.

    Its up to the Senate now, and if it passes that, we can only hope Obama uses his veto power.

    If this passes, we'll face total loss of MILLIONS of jobs in the USA, even my DAD'S! This bill is horrible, and should be banished to the moon!

    Not cause a debate with anyone on here, but I personally support Ron Paul. :derpe:

    That's awful, I hope this Bill doesn't pass for your familie's sake.

    Is it likely this bill will pass?

    Yes.

    Is it likely it will be thoroughly enforced?

    Nope.

    I'm not so sure of the matter.
    I've read into this a bit.
    Perhaps it won't be enforced to its fullest,
    But this does strike me down as something that
    Would - if only at first - lead to mass closure of
    Numerous websites.
    And it would mean that at a whim,
    Corporations would have the power to shutdown
    Any website they dislike.
    If this bill does pass...
    Yeesh.
    Serious hit to internet communities.

    There's some prime DNS spaces here in Canada.
    Sweden's also an option.
    Sure the US government can seek court orders against websites outside the US,
    But the Canadian government already voiced its disapproval.
    As for Sweden;
    You'll be lost in the shadow of a website that the US has far more quarrels with.

    Oh great, here we go again. Just like the bill S.978, It's going to kill the internet which means going back to the old ages where people don't know anything but rely on TV and libraries. Internet plays a huge roll on us, even work, so what if they killed it? They're going to regret killing it because then most jobs will be gone, the medics won't find a cure for terminally ill people, It's going to drag the U.S. to eternal darkness.
