Then we rape you with Quote: make unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content a crime, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison for ten such infringements within six months. The bill also gives immunity to Internet services that voluntarily take action against websites dedicated to infringement, while making liable for damages any copyright holder who knowingly misrepresents that a website is dedicated to infringement. And then do it again after nights out with Quote: allow the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as copyright holders, to seek court orders against websites accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement. Depending on who makes the request, the court order could include barring online advertising networks and payment facilitators from doing business with the allegedly infringing website, barring search engines from linking to such sites, and requiring Internet service providers to block access to such sites. We can be the boy who called wolf on you, and whether or not you were an actual wolf, rather than a cute puppy dog belonging to the girl next door, you'll be beaten and starved and most likely shot. We'll be sure to give the mutated remains of your lifeless body back to the girl. We can't be sure. You might have been a dangerous creature harmful to everyone you know.... OMG LOOK, ITS A BASAN! QUICK, LAUNCH THE NUKE AT IT! *Fires nuke at the girl next door's parrot* (A Basan is a giant mythological fire breathing chicken from Japan)

Re: SOPA
What I saw, was that any website can be accused of "copyright infringement", and whether or not it actually is doing that, will be attempted to be shut down by the USA. And in the end, since the power of being shut down lies in the hands of the USA, things that are potentially anti-US can be left shut down for good.
I also note that it said Military Material. All US Defense Contractors sell Military Equipment to our allies, like the British and the Israelites. While I'm sure either is perfectly capable of producing defense equipment, it could be the first step to having Israel slip into being overwhelmed by its Arab neighbors.
That would not be a good thing. Most if not all our allies would probably hate our guts if that happens. Which is a good reason to crush the "Rebels" and "Terrorists" that the British, French, Russians, Chinese, and Indian are with our massive military might. And nuclear weapon systems.
And what would happen after we nuke all the "terrorists" into submission? The Earth is renamed America.
Ohhhh, just realized my own limited brain power! The Lend-Lease Act of WW2. If the British gets attacked like that again, the US will refuse to help its ally out(because it'd be illegal to sell stuff to them).
Hello new fascist regime attacking and conquering the UK while the US sits there and does nothing!
