So is there any way to tell its probability of passing through all of Congress ? How likely is it to pass both the House and Senate with enough of a majority so that Obama cant veto it ? That last part is important since, though we can never count on obama to do the right thing, there is a good chance even he would know to vote agains tthis if it truly does what opponents fear it would.
And also, I was wondering where to go to find truly good unbaised info on what sites would be affected, in addition to the articles shown above . Would it actually be able to shut down all internet forums, and shut down sites providing subscriptions to articles from science/biology/physics/economics magazines and publications ? Protestors say it will and others insist that only those who flagrantly flaunt copyright laws, liek pirate bay or Sidereel, are in real danger. So how do we tell what sites are in danger and if the whole internet really is somehow in danger of being shutdown ? I mean, i cant imagine the latter would be the case-eventually COngress would get enough pressure so that they would be forced to add some kind of ammendment the sponsors who claim they are losing money from piracy would eventually lose far more of their income when if people had no access to sites where they coudl buy entertianment content.
There are no unbiased opinions of Protect-IP and SOPA, the bills are available on Thomas Register and you can read and dissect it yourself.

The fact that the Congressmen and Senators who took lobbyist cash to sponsor the bill have absolutely no F***ing clue about technology means there is no doubt the bill was written specifically as a predatory legalism for the rentier class in Hollywood,
very unlikely Obama would veto it.
Jan 17th it will be in the House sub-committee for a 2nd hearing and could be voted to the Floor for a full vote, up until then there is time to pressure the whores and especially the most treacherous whores such as Lamar Smith to back down and kill the bill.
Orin Hatch has finally found a bill that will allow him to remotely blow up JimRob’s PC as Jim types on his dear keyboard.
I truly feel like something major is going to happen in 2012 with the Internet and take downs before election. He has GOOGLE working for him; watching a nightmare on the internet with blogs, political sites, social media sites. Hec, DHS is already creating fake accounts on Social Media sites for tracking and reporting.
Obama is so smug; I think he knows he will win 2nd term and that is why he gives Americans the finger...cause it’s in the bag...
