              Oh, I don't mean that Apolyton should engage in some sort of formal protest against SOPA. I just mean that the legislation shouldn't be supported. All it's going to do is prolong the death throes of those that attempt to treat information like a private good.

                I suddenly picture an Apolyton where everyone's posts are displayed as if on ignore and you must pay each time you hit view post.

                  But what if someone is looking over the shoulder of an Apolytoner when a post is viewed? Should they pay twice? It's madness, madness I tell you!

                    That's piracy and the original viewer is required to execute the pirate on the spot. Or in the nearest room that doesn't have nice carpet.

                      SOPA is crap that at best accomplishes something that is already possible to accomplish in other ways (taking down copyright material) and at worst could be abused to destroy any portion of the internet with user generated content.

                      Under SOPA, I just (potentially) took down Poly and got a lawsuit filed against Plomp... (and I could have hidden it anywhere on the site, like a year old edit on a post that no one will ever see again)

                        I say we protest it because it sucks.

                          I'm probably the most vocal anti-piracy guy on this website, and SOPA is a giant steaming turd.

                              Americans should write their Congress critters and let them know they won't be getting your vote EVER if said critter supports SOPA or PIPA.
