View topic - If SOPA Passes

I'm giving up the internet,seriously.If SOPA and PIPA passes, what would you do?
I've prepared myself for a post no net world (backed up my photos,updated my computer and all it's apps. Screenshot all profiles,friends,etc. I've gotten all my work ready to tell friends to add my mailing address and if I ever decide to go back to the Nazi regime internet- I'll go to the library.
What about you?

mmm cake @_@
Well, that's a really smart idea, I should probably get to doing that too!
I don't know what I'd do if SOPA passes. All of my schoolwork is online, so I guess I'd just KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON! (<lol. tumblr ref.)

hmm honestly if they pass it, Obama will veto it. he's against it as much as we are.

As much as I don't like Obama it's nice to know he's at least against this. If SOPA passes then I'd probably quite the internet and reserve my computer for Schoolwork and E-mail.

If it passes, I will cry and then probably go to rehab for internet addicts.
I don't know what I'll do with my time anymore, but if it did pass I'd probably get out the house a lot more lmao.

I don't even know how I'd do my course without the internet and the things available online, it's something that I fall back on if I can't locate things in the library. >_<

@Eliot: I'd be in rehab with you o.o

I'd definitely quit the internet completely. I doubt this will pass though. This could potentially ruin millions of businesses...and lives. A lot of peoples' jobs revolve around the web and technology. If congress censors everything then they're done for.

If it passes, idk lol. But, I really don't think it'll pass.
I'm completely against the bill but, I really do not believe it will pass. I just wish people would care about other issues like they did with this one, lol.

Hate is easy; Love takes courage.

It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.
I really doubt that it will be passed to be honest.
It's too ludicrous of an idea to pass it.

Honestly, I don't know what I would do if it did pass.
D:
Especially for school, I mean how am I going to locate documents that I can't find in the library?
And I've met a bunch of people on here and other sites.
I don't want to lose contact with them.

I'm gonna use this thread as a dumping ground for my worries about this, I apologize in advance for that.

1. With the amount of people against this, if it would pass, that would prove that the U.S. government is no longer about the people.

2. There are internet geniuses all over the world, who would react. (Hackers and such) SO, if the U.S. government fucks with the internet i am almost positive that those people would find a way to retaliate. This scares me almost as much as the Sopa/pipa itself.

3. I know it's probably stupid on my end, but I'm actually going to wait to see if this passes or not before I buy my laptop. Why spend all that money on it, just to find out a few days later "by the way, we're destroying the internet!"

4. If it passes, I will feel violated, and it will enforce that nobody has any rights to anything.

5. I have watched movies online in the past. For Example, Captain America. Didn't stop me from getting a DVD copy. Same thing with Juno, and lots of my favourite movies I was unsure of i watched online first. I am an avid DVD collector though, I only watched online due to impatience XD "It's 3am store's closed I want to watch that NOW not when the store opens!"

I let you breathe this emptiness
See me as I am
people are prolly more likely to pirate now knowing it could all be gone XD It's like "stores closing in a week: BUY ALL THINGS! D:< "

I dont understand why everyones soo worried, it wont pass, Obama is against it, so if it does pass, he'll stop it.

True. Sopa has for now been shut down, but Protect IP is still a threat.

I think more people are scared that this is even happening, rather than the likelihood of it passing.
