I am assuming they are not talking about this all that much so it can go right on Obama's desk to sign? I always wondered when the policing of the internet would occur. It makes me wonder what it will look like and how much it will send us to the past. This could get really messy. I wouldn't give up on fighting these proposals but I am afraid some concessions will be made. Does anyone know of any corporate giants that would be lobbying against this? I would assume most would be for it.

Obama already signed it.

I don't understand why they have to push this. What is the whole reason for everything? First SOPA then ACTA, I don't think they will ever stop until they get what they wanted.

There's also another bill called ACTA (worldwide). You can check my post here

They just want to censor the internet.

ACTA is at least as bad as SOPA, imo SOPA was just a joke, ACTA is the real deal. Already implemented in Europe and very few are fighting against.
