The good think about SOPA and PIPA is that it got the conversation about piracy out into congress. Music is being consumed more than ever, but the artists are making less and less of their music. It is their intellectual property that is getting stolen which is not okay.<br /><br />I do agree that SOPA and PIPA would affect many innocent websites, but I don't think it would change the internet to the extent that people are saying it would.
