No, we should not let this happen. You know, America will be affected by this just as much as any other country. Not all of American's are wanting this passed. I am sure there are million who are opposed to this. It is not fair to everyone here in the whole world.

To me, if they did this I would not be able to get on anything. Plus I would not be able to get on here, and I would miss this site deeply.


I know that, but their original idea was to affect foreign countries. At least, that's wat our newspapers say. It affects the whole world and that's pretty disgusting. Those people who came up with the idea really do it for themselves D: Because it's only good for like 0,0001% of the people on the globe... over the backs of everyone else. Yuck.

Oh I understand it affects the American people as well. I'm just saying it's scary how someone in America can decide over someone's life at the other side of the world with this law. That's wrong.

Yes it is going to affect the whole world, but I doubt that it is to affect for foreign countries on purpose. Truthfully I have no idea what they are thinking cause I am not them and I did not come up with all of this. From what I hear and read is all complicated.. So I can not tell you what is really going on, but here is some info that may help understand it a little better.

"They claim it protects the intellectual property market and corresponding industry, jobs and revenue, and is necessary to bolster enforcement of copyright laws, especially against foreign websites"

""We support the bills’ stated goals – providing additional enforcement tools to combat foreign ‘rogue’ Web sites that are dedicated to copyright infringement or counterfeiting. "

"SOPA targets only foreign Web sites that are primarily dedicated to illegal and infringing activity."

It's all stated in the website you send me. It's literally put there it is on purpose against foreign websites.
