Thank you very much everyone! This was my dream ever since I got on DT and saw other bloggers announce similar finds. Finally it\'s come true, and it is very fulfilling and exciting.

The way these bills are written is too broad and controlling. Having the government censor copyright-infringing websites would be disastrous. Google indexed its trillionth URL recently. The Internet is enormous! You would need to hire hundreds of thousands of people to check each page that was reported as containing copyright-infringing content. Inevitably, the government would create an automated spider to review each page and blacklist or whitelist it. Programs and computers are far from perfect which would result in numerous websites being shutdown that never deserved to be blocked. rnrnGiving the government such control over the Internet would be disastrous in many other ways. Whatever political party is in power at the time could potentially shoot down their political rivals by visiting their rival\'s website(s), finding content that supposedly was an infringement on copyright law, and use that as a reason to take down their site. rnrnThere are many other reasons SOPA is a bad idea. The reasons are so powerful that few Americans support it. I must say that the online protests have been nothing short of incredible! Suddenly partisanship vanished and everyone rose up as a united nation to oppose this legislation. I\'ve never seen anything like it before!rnrnI built an online app to help people oppose SOPA.
