From what I have read there is a SOPA-like bill before the Canadian parliament. Maybe you should worry about that and let us worry about the land of the free.

ya it has no chance of passing lol.

you're a sheep for believing that.

SOPA is dead.

PIPA is not dead.

PIPA might actually be worse than SOPA. And anybody who knows anything about how Congressional bill works, knows that SOPA and PIPA would have been merged in a committee to hash out the differences before the "final" bill would come to vote. That's how these bills work.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a plurilateral agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards for intellectual property rights enforcement. The agreement aims to establish an international legal framework for targeting counterfeit goods, generic medicines and copyright infringement on the Internet, and would create a new governing body outside existing forums, such as the World Trade Organization, the World Intellectual Property Organization, or the United Nations.[1][2][3]

The agreement was signed on 1 October 2010 by Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and the United States. In January 2012, the European Union and 22 of its member states signed as well, bringing the total number of signatories to 31. After ratification by 6 states, the convention will come into force.

Thank You!

I just wanted to hear Nick say it himself, though I knew he wouldn't because I'm guessing he knew where I was going with my comments, referencing the above quotes.
