yeah, precisely. best way to avoid this is to make sure the damn bill doesn't pass!
and even if the rest of the world doesn't follow, ban in US will cripple pretty much everything.

they've been pushin buttons in the us  for sometime now... the protests last fall were in my opinion pointless but it shows you that people will stand for what they (think) lol but, if this gets pushed through we're no better than china... no offense ian lol, and that will also kill majority of the porn honestly lol and that will piss ALOT of people off....including me!

Apparently it's been shelved now, though.  I can't confirm that, though...here's hoping it just gets scrapped alltogether :fu:

I'm temporarily "taking down" the FB page for my tour, also, since I'm pretty sure Facebook itself isn't gonna go dark.

"Under SOPA you could get 5 years in prison for uploading a Michael Jackson song, that's 1 year more than the guy who killed him."
