1) No removal of felony charges for a civil issue.
2) No restraint of copyright - it still goes on for 70 years past the original creator’s death, longer if it is owned by a company.
3) No competition of the constitutional exchange - the people protect the property in exchange for open access to the property after a limited time. 3.5 generations IS NOT a limited time.
4) STILL no fair use exemption within the law. Commit a felony if you post your daughter’s first dance from her wedding if you do not have performance rights to the music in the background. DO YOU want to risk losing your rights to vote, bear arms, etc under the assumption that no court will ever permit a felony conviction for fair use?

SOPA, OPEN, etc are lined up attacks to steal your rights and the people’s property. It continues to codify the unconstitutional extensions of copyrights and patents far beyond any useful return to the people. It continues to codify criminal penalties without actual loss to the ‘victim’, and continues the unconstitutional requirements that a person PROVE that they are innocent.

No sale.
