Seems we have our own SOPA to worry about.

That's right, it's being discussed here in Norway as well. Closing, and blocking, of web-sites, banning users from the internet, giving out private info without involving the police, etc. And they're discussing it in silence.

It's not gonna pass as it's just as stupid as SOPA.

I seriously hope so, but then again, the Norwegian govt loves to pass stuff. Just look at the over 6000 EU directives that have passed.

But there's still hope i suppose. In the US, for /years/, they have tried to pass stuff like SOPA, without success. I think they've tried for over 10 years to get something like that passed. Makes me wonder if this has been tried for long in Norway...

the people will rise up against it. and that should work

I don't think that legislation will pass, just look at all the sites that black out today as an opposition to SOPA and PIPA (wikipedia, reddit, mojang, wordpress), plus take a note of how much we protested on DLD... That was unfortunately unsuccessful, despite everything we did.

[Jhansi]

Yea, i'm glad to see how the large sites are protesting this. However, i don't have as much faith in our government as you have. The DLD was just... Look at how much people protested, but they /still/ passed it. The govt doesn't care that much about the people.
