Since when does the United States judicial system effect other laws from other countries?

This is stupid & ridiculous. Why are they wasting time with this nonsense when they could've been focusing on REAL problems such as fixing this economy & creating more jobs for the U.S.?

This country is surely going to hell in a handbasket.

In cases like these I really don't know who's fault it is in the end: the people's or the government the people voted for... :?

Saw the same video about 20 minutes ago. The whole idea of this bill just makes me sick to my stomach, but our government is so corrupt, I won't be surprised if this gets passed.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Letting this bill pass will destroy more jobs. That's one of the reasons why we don't want this to happen.

They would relocate all servers outside of the US, problem solved. All it would do is remove many jobs in the US, which wouldn't be very smart to do, it's like shooting yourself in the foot.

Heaven forbid this E-PARASITES bill would pass, because I won't stand for that. This bill is too stupid and too flawed to pass anyway.

I agree. I just think that the ones that are currently running the government needs to be replaced by a bunch of competent people that knows what the hell they're doing, instead of focusing on efforts trying to destroy entertainment sites (like Youtube) & socializing sites (like Facebook, Twitter, Google+) which are the least of our problems.

Nothing is getting shutdown, in fact everything this bill affects is already illegal.

Nothing would be shutdown, viewing youtube is not illegal and wouldn't be under this law. In fact, everything in this bill is already illegal and some videos with copyrighted material are already removed from youtube or not able to be viewed here. In fact, other nations do this too only in other legal realms. Check out Australia and Germany's censorship of video games.

t covers a few new things however.. like the government no longer needs to issue paperwork if something is offensive unto them on youtube.. they can jsut take it down.

looks like tin foil hat wearers may be wiped from youtube XD
