Ask HN: Can Someone Explain SOPA in English?
I see the information page about SOPA on Wikipeda, Reddit and Google and unfortunately, it would still not make sense to a Kim Kardashian or Jersey Shore watching person.
Why saw legislation when you can say "Law".
I was wondering if there could be a comic made that explains it in very simple terms where the majority of people in US will "get it"
For instance: If you send a video of that funny thing you saw on TV to your friend on Facebook and someone does not like it, they can ask Facebook to remove you from Facebook.
Facebook will now have to check your email to see if you are sending music to your friends. Even the music you bought.
This is not the time to play "Fair" or be 100% accurate. You just have to get EVERYONE in the US talking about it. Unless you tell that basketball loving dude, he will not be able to send that rebound shot to his friend, the guys mouthing "Jobs Jobs Jobs" might have the day.
PS: Yes, it is ok to say if SOPA passes, everyone in Facebook, Twitter and YouTube will lose theie jobs. If the proponents are playing extreme, why can't we?
