OK, lemme just say a few things about this whole thing. There is lots of people on the internet, and they are all angry about this bill. IMO this couldn't have come at a better time, as the US election is this year. Politicians want to gain votes, that's what they care about. They won't risk losing votes by going against their word. As well as this, Obama has declared opposition to the bill and is going to veto it - he won't go back on that or he'd lose a lot of votes, which could cost him the election. And with all this, its likely that they won't pass. Or if all else fails, I heard on the news some Germans are building their own internet free from these laws.
