"what people would do if that bill passes"

Nothing, I'm Canadian this bill doesn't affect me at all. And seeing as like all pirate sites and the like or not hosted on American soil/servers the bill is only going to allow them to block Americans from viewing sites, and your government has no jurisdiction to shut down none American sites. In short only Americans are getting fucked.
When america fucked shit with the economy, the world felt that. Now that the government is purposely trying to fuck the economy even harder, how will that not affect you? Its not as simple as us losing access to a few sites, its making everday companies, and very large companies, criminal, and causing them to go out of business or leave america.

I don't use American company's therefore I'm not affected just like i wasn't affected when the economy "fucked up" in fact when the economy started to fuck up i started to make more money i got a 2% raise on my cheque, Honestly you guys blowing this bill way out of portion it's only going to be used for illegal sites/company's if the company's are 100% legal and have everything in order nothings going to happen!

Imagine this shawn:

Modern Warfare 4 comes out and people do reviews explaining how shitty it is with ingame footage to visualize.

Infinity Ward comes out and shuts it down on the basis that the video is using "Copyrighted footage" It's a horrible bill because it's vaguely worded and it gives even MORE power to the companies .-.

Saying that this isn't going to affect you at all is ignorant ... but saying that it's the end of the internet is just as, if not even more, ignorant.

Its been confirmed. Shawn has created his own economy and isolated himself from the world, effectively creating a second planet within Earth. It shall be called M-149652.
Youtube will become an illegal torrent site
Google/paypal will be pretty much forced to keep an arm's length from america just to make money, and thousands of sites will be shut down. None of them breaking the law. Fair use will be a thing of the past in america, and thats not a minor thing in the least. Take that for example

And don, true. Saying its not going to likely cause a large amount of shit to happen, is also ignorant though. SOPA isnt a tiny thing, at all.
