Ah, Chris Dodd. It seems like every time he opens his mouth, he makes things worse. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, he responds to a series of questions about SOPA by trying to tiptoe around the issue, but basically admits that there are backroom conversations going on between a small number of people, and that "between now and sometime next year," Hollywood and the tech industry will "come to an understanding." He's asked specifically if there are conversations going on now, and if the White House is pressuring folks to come to such "an understanding."

I don't want a restricted internet

Damn, they are trying so hard to control the internet. I wonder when the felony called "Illegal distribution of internet" will surface, because there will be resistance movements for sure.

I think it should be illegal to keep resurfacing the same bill with a different name. ACTA, PIPA, SOPA... now this?

They ever do that here in the USA I will just stop using the internet.

FuturDreamz · 09 Apr 2012

I'm pretty sure if the USA did that, there would be no more USA.

When will they learn..

I think that they should rename this from SOPA to The Phoenix. Burn it down, and it continues to rise from the ashes.
