No?
Are you saying one country's bills can shut down an international part?
You must be wrong or the world is retarded.

Correct. Any infringing site can be taken down. It is a US law but it's affects will be worldwide.

So Faceook, YouTube, Twitter Wikipedia etc can be closed or changed so heavily it would not be the same.

"The language used in the acts is so broad that sites such as Tumblr, Vimeo, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and even the beloved Facebook could all come under threat and even face being shut down. There would be no due process with SOPA and PIPA, just a shutdown notice."

If you can stomach it:

WTF is SOPA ? aka The American Government trying to ruin the internet

There isn't an amount of people that need to pass it. The entire world could petition and it could still be passed.

If you support it then, well you are crazy,

If you don't, sign it.

If the server is located outside the US, US laws cannot affect the site...

And SOPA will not be passed.

Facebook, YouTube and many other sites are mainly hosted in the US. So the bills above would effect them world-wide.

Just to clear things out..

PIPA, if passed, will give U.S. corporations and the government the right to seek affirmative legal action with any website that they see as enabling copyright infringement whether of U.S. origin or not. Here is a breakdown of all that they will have the power to do.

Force U.S. internet providers to block access to websites deemed as enablers of copyright infringement
Seek legal action by suing search engines, blog sites, directories, or any site in general to have the black listed sites removed from their website
Will be able to force advertising services on infringing websites, and those supporting of them, to remove them from their advertising accounts
Companies will also have the power to sue any new websites that get started after this bill is passed, if they believe that they are not doing a good job of preventing infringement on your website


SOPA, if passed, will work in conjunction with PIPA. As described by such entities as the Electronic Frontier Foundation, SOPA is nothing more so than the U.S. government and private corporations black list.

The USA's criticism of China seems all the more ironic now that this is actually being considered by Congress.
