It is still unbelievable to me that it has got as far as it has without massive out cry. So far the biggest out cry is from godaddy which only is opposing because so many big clients said they would pull services if they supported it.

go daddy as far as i know is not opposing the bill. They were supporting it but retracted that after losing 70,000 domains (mine being one of them) and I know wikipedia was threating to move their domain also, I don't know if they actually did it though. Their outcry was for people to stop leaving them, nothing about the bill.

Biggest thing I've seen was the potential "nuke the Internet" day, where big companies cut off their services to protest the bill. nothing is set in stone but their talking about it. Big players that are part of the movement...AOL, eBay, Etsy, Facebook, Foursquare, Google, IAC, LinkedIn, Mozilla, OpenDNS ,PayPal, Twitter, Yahoo, Zynga. Just between paypal, google and facebook it would put a stop to so much going on, one hell of a way to send a message if you ask me.

I hope they do it. It'd send a major message, especially if instead of their website, every page has something explaining about SOPA and what not.

I don't see what everyone is getting so upset about..I mean for the first time in a long time Our government and it's leader is holding true to what they said they would..Embrace it America, enjoy it, relish in it, this country is getting what it wanted full bore. Stop whining and remember we as a country voted for

obvious troll is obvious....

look at it this way, I posted an image here, my image my copyright. It has found its way to facebook. (true this has happened, but I take it for the flattery it was and although not happy I am not going to complain either) under the proposed law that is enough to either close or block this site for everyone in the USA. Rather than go after the single infraction they would shut down or black list the whole site. It is rather extreme, if you have one fight in a school locking up all the students because they are all violent is silly.

I thought I read that after Godaddy was looking at a massive loss of client base they changed their mind and actively opposed the proposal? I may have mis read that as I said just loosely paying attention.

I think GoDaddy is talking out both sides of their mouths on SOPA right now
