I remember hearing the other day that virtually nobody in congress supports SOPA because they know if it passes it'll basically shut down sites like google, ebay, facebook, youtube leaving the internet empty and kick us back to the 80s.

I didn't read to much into it. But if it shuts down a site like Ebay. Now I know Ebay is a public selling site, but will other sites(Amazon, and other sites like that) where items are sold be shut down. If that happens, I see a lot of business out of business. Which is well not good for anyone. I personally sell a lot of my stuff on Ebay, Craigslist, etc. If those go down, it will be harder for anybody to sell things.
