I confess it would be interesting to see what happens were SOPA/PIPA to pass: As companies fold left and right and unemployment skyrockets... Would SOPA/PIPA supporters still claim they've done good for the economy?
- steve-howard 15y agoI think the worst-case scenario we're all bandying about is implausible. I don't think we'll be closing down youtube, or even minor content-sharing platforms. I just think we'll see more like what ICE does with filesharing sites: shutting down sites that are probably legal in their home country but that the US doesn't like. That's not to say I think the bills are a good idea; in fact, I don't think there are any technical ways to prevent piracy and I would rather we didn't try. I just don't think life will change as radically as people say.
