Mario, I agree with you 100 percent. After I read your comment, I got to say this: SOPA and PIPA are the byproducts of Corporate America.

Just ask these people:

1. The YouTube user who uploaded an original video only to find out that the audio violates Warner Music's rights, even though there is no music owned by Warner Music in the video to even begin with.

2. The YouTube user whose account was banned permanently all because of a false DMCA report thanks to Corporate America's greed.

3. The student who is learning web design in school and is creating his or her first web page to show worldwide, only to get a threatening cease and desist letter from a high profile law firm representing Corporate America. Doesn't it scare you when you are the recipient of a certified letter?

The passage of SOPA and PIPA - if it did - would have meant surrendering to Corporate America and the end of the Internet as we know it today.

It is not true and not good to catch some criminals by offending and sacrificing the liberty and affairs of so many non-guilty people around the world. Furthermore, it is unethical and illegal to create a national law to put foundation for and justify such act. It is unethical to create a national law based upon the will of SOME corporations and for the sakes of SOME corporations. If a law must be created, it must be created based upon THE REAL MAJOR PUBLIC WILL and for THE REAL WHOLE PUBLIC SAKE.
Noteworthy, The Internet is not only the container of by-law-protected products, but also IS:
1. The universal medium of the unlimited flow of thoughts from humans all over the world
2. The universal place of unlimited thought-exchange and thought-sharing among humanity
3. The universal channel of unlimited talk among humans all over the world
4. The universal channel and virtual place of unlimited human encounter and human traffic
Therefore, SOPA and PIPA absolutely can not be applied. SOPA and PIPA are a form of Egoistic-Will Enforcement.
Moreover, products of companies have been protected by the existing laws of intellectual property. What is to do is just Law Enforcement based upon the existing laws.
