@markw2000 So if someone at a university downloads something illegally and a complaint - NOT a conviction or anything requiring any sort of proof but a complaint - is made then the government is able to shut down that university's internet?!?!? And you think this is okay? Things like SOPA and PIPA run completely counter to the basis of our entire legal system - you know that pesky "innocent until proven guilty" chestnut... (emphasis mine).

My point is that SOPA and PIPA are in place so that organizations like MPAA and RIAA can circumvent our legal and judicial system. Apparently going through the legal system costs them too much of their profits.../sarcasm
