But it's ok, because you'll all be there with me XD

That's what PIPA and SOPA is gonna do to us, if it had went through. Accord to that act, anyone who's ever uploaded or downloaded or reproduced copy-righted material will potentially be convicted of piracy.

PIPA and SOPA reaches further than you think: Have you ever posted fan-art? You can't do that under PIPA because that's technically reproduction and redistribution of copy-righted material. So, all of my Madoka Magica stuff will put me in the slammer D:< Actually, have you posted ANYTHING AT ALL? You're liable under SOPA because you've just distributed copy-righted material on the internet for anyone to download and/or re-upload. If you so much as link a deviation to someone's Facebook wall, you've committed piracy...
According to this, e-mailing a GIF, sharing a link on Facebook, downloading a poster from memebase, or even watching/uploading a youtube video is prohibited under PIPA and SOPA. And all my friends who's given me a movie on a hard-drive or let me browse through their music library, I'll be seeing them in jail as well...
Ok, I might be exaggerating this "going to jail" stuff a bit, but violation of these laws do carry heavy penalties like fines of thousands of dollars, and being a college student, I would seriously consider going to jail because I refuse to pay 500 bucks just to show you guys a drawing I did over the weekend. I don't understand at all what the hell the senator who came up with this were thinking. I thought America was the land of freedom, in speech, expression, and actions; so who the hell thought that passing a bill to prohibit 100% of expression on the internet would be a good idea?!
Oh, and in case you're wondering which numb-skull was actually responsible for this, it's this guy:
[link] Patrick Leahy. Yup, he has a Facebook page. You know what to do

And for the ultimate display of irony: Patrick Leahy's profile picture, the one he chose to post on Facebook, was taken by a journalist, who did not give him permission to the use of said picture. That's right: Patrick Leahy is a FREAKIN' PIRATE!!!!!! <EDIT> K, so you can't just html tag him, but he's there. just facebook search him.
And in the spirit of things:
[link] you're saying, Chris, won't you and I go to jail because you just posted that link to what I'm assuming is copy-righted material? Well, You've also attached all of the damns I give about this stupid and oppressive bill.
All the damns I give:
