No need to write up some long piece on this subject. Many others have done that for me already. Instead, I'll just throw in some links in hopes that a few will go learn about the ruin of the internet... OK, maybe that's a little dramatic, but SOPA/PIPA could very well hurt the economy even more.

I agree that there is a piracy issue. SOPA/PIPA will not be able to stop piracy. Unfortunately they will cause more pain to our already hurt economy. Keep in mind, they could very well shut down all social sites... Facebook, Google, Tweeter, YouTube... all could end up being blocked. This would not be a good time to sit idle.
