    Just noting this, few of you may not know this or don't even care. True enough that this law have its advantage especially to those artists, companies who in for long have battled piracy but there are bigger effects of this act if it is pass as a law  to  the larger community....from Facebook, to Wikipedia, Google, Twitter and so much more.  Just now wikipedia launched their protest againts it and Google isn't silent about their opinion againts SOPA....Just imagined, the long term effect of this law.....from the site that made indie artist known throughout the world...there is a big possibility that Youtube will be shut down or block in the US. Surely i'm not expecting the Paramore.net community will be againts this act rather have its opinion about this.

This may not look like be a major issue to you, luckily this WILL not affect me. Well maybe the rest of the world will be, as this is not directed to US only. Be informed.

Yes, it is essentially dead due to voter outcry. But, this is a repeat of an earlier topic, FYI.
