I'll raise my hand here, as a 100% original content producer sine the late 90's I'm pretty damn sure I qualify
I'm 100% AGAINST sopa simply because of the WORDING of the entire bill, I'm IN TOTAL FAVOR of protecting content creators, and copyrights do NOT mistake that.
But when a bill includes verbiage like "Any site for ANY REASON" & "Especially in foreign countries" that's giving a bit TOO MUCH CONTROL to our US Gov.
And how exactly can they claim jurisdiction over a foreign country anyway?
This type of thing COULD be a good thing to protect copyright holders, but in the way this bill is currently written it's just a money grab...
Youtube = violation
Google = Violation
Ebay = Violation (something about reselling copies and or pirate stuff, google it)
PayPal, payoneer, moneybookers = processing violations
The list goes on and on.
my point is, IF PASSED with the exact wording of the current bill it gives the gov WAY too much power of WHO is or is not a pirate.
Don't know what anyone thinks of TYT I watch it from time to time, but this one really caught my interest...

TL;DR I am a content producer since the late 90's and I oppose Sopa (in it's current form/wording) and watch the vid above
