Anybody think this will make an impact if it passes?

Sounds like Free speech suppression to me.....

I doubt it. Gov't isn't likely to go to bat for the porn industry like it would for Warner Brothers, Disney, etc.

Its coming one way or another. I am just surprised at how long it is taking. Personally, I think a lot of problems could be solved by eliminating the dmca and holding the hosting companies and board owners responsible for their content. Some may disagree with this as a restriction of freedom, but this freedom has been so badly abused that it needs to be removed. Either that, or governments need to surgically remove pirates and thieves.

Meddling piece of shit Senator Wyden put it on hold. This guy is a grandstander playing for the freetard vote in the next election.

Sadly, the hold came after that vote:

Basically, it parks the legislation indefinately. Wyden is a prick.

Any step forward in the right direction would be in our best interest, assuming that the file sharing and password sharing sites are targeted...
