SOPA threatens to shut down the internet...seriously.

Im not sure he owns the design of that US flag either, or the design of that tie.

While that may be true, the link shows he is using a picture of a forest that happens to be intellectual property of a private photographer.

Yes I saw the link.
It's just like those politicians that make laws against prostitution and that are caught with prostitutes later.

Anybody but Obama, right?

Santorum as president is worse than another Obama term

Has anyone else noticed that SOPA is unconstitutional? a LIMITED GOVERNMENT trying to limit what we do? Downsize the government!

Hollywood and the music industry.
Ever hear that Mellencamp quote? :
"I think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb. [...] It's destroyed the music business. It's going to destroy the movie business."

I rather think it's the crappy music they've been putting out and the fact that every cut is compressed to 2dB of dynamic range.

I didn't stop buying music because of file sharing (which I don't do either because 128k rips sound bad). I stopped because the music sucks.

Santorum! His first quote says it all!

oh boy!

This is just a step closer to Americans having to change their language from friend to comrade. The amount of regulation in our daily lives now is disgusting.
