Excellent news! Looks like I won't have to vote third party.

Good news, but don't get too excited. PIPA isn't dead yet.

Ahh yes - those terrible music and film industries.  If they didn't exist, the world would be so much better!  Wouldn't a world without music and film be great!?!?!

Yeah, because piracy is so killing those billion dollar industries.

But without the industries, we'd have hardly any music or movies.  It's one thing to oppose SOPA for overreaching the bounds it should, but piracy is still a bad thing.  What does being a billion dollar industry have anything to do with it?  If you're stealing from a rich person or stealing from a poor person, it's still stealing.

Well I'm a communist.  Stealing from the rich is what I'm all about.

There's music and film outside of what the mega-corporations put out.  If the music and film industries were to die, we would not have no music or film.  We would simply enter a new era of media.

I never said we'd have no music.  But anybody producing music and film in some sort of economic system makes up an "industry".  You don't need mega-corporations.  If you go to a local show and pay $5 to get in, that's still part of an industry.

When I say "music industry" I mean the mega-corps and such.

What's funny is when people who use the internet as more than a business model support these bills.  How tarded can you get?

I hope all the assholes who supported these bills lose their re-election campaigns.
