the future is gonna be real fun with these new bills and laws.

https://rt.com/usa/news/indefinite-detention-bill-senate-905/

https://rt.com/news/internet-giants-slam-sopa-915/

if you dont feel like reading then here is a quick version.
Terrorist "suspects" could already be held indefinitly without any form of trail or prosecusion.
This is now legal for Any american 'prisoner'. including in the National Defense Authorization Act, it is now legal to use the Enhanced interrogation techniques (ergo torture) on any prisoner.
Anyone can be flagged as a terrorist and be arrested and detained indefinitely if the president (and ofc anyone behind the idiot) points a finger at you.

and the third link explains on how the US will be allowed to shut down any website incl. any outside the US, which are suspected to hosting copyright content.

Seems like china doesnt it?

and then something for futuristics

"SOPA" means "Trash" or "Garbage" in Swedish. Suiting name for a retarded law.
And yeah, someone I really hope gets a Darwin Award is Michael O’Leary, lobbyist for the movie companies. "Internet still works in Iran and China". -.-

Another good article on the subject btw: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/say-no-to-sopa/
