SOPA, in its current form, is dead:
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=23791I never thought of this, but I almost wish it would have passed as the potential for mayhem was enormous:
The bill was likened to a death penalty to the internet economy by DailyTech and other sites -- the bills looked to create a takedown system where any site found to be hosting user generated content pointing to infringing content (say a URL to a torrent) could be immediately taken down.
This would have been a crippling blow to Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Google Inc. (GOOG), online news, and any other site that allows user-generated content, as a malicious user (e.g. a prankster or competitor) could intentionally plant an offending URL and then contact the regulators to take down the site for weeks at a time. The measure would essentially have ended all American online commerce, online searching, and online news ,if enforced.
Tell a bunch of 14 year olds they could bring down all e-commerce in the USA and see what happens.
Even funnier, the biggest proponent of the bill was caught stealing content on his webpage:
