Activision wants it so no competition against CoD and many of their other games can come up.

I suspect it's more that they resent people stealing their products. I know, silly, huh, how can you steal anything digital?

It's a bad bill but I can understand a company's desire to combat on-line piracy.

It's a horrible bill, that if it passes into law, the Supreme Court will find it unconstitutional.

I've never heard one person here in the US claim to support SOPA. It can't have much public support, at least from what I've seen, although maybe it's supported by rich people or some other group I don't hang out with.
However, I have seen commercials in support of it. I've never seen any opposing SOPA though, which is unfortunate, since it's a bad bill and its shortcomings could be easily and simply explained in a quick sound bite, urging Americans to contact their Congressmen to express opposition to it.
Maybe the absence of anti-SOPA commercials will help rouse people to fight it. Personally, whenever I hear only one side of an issue, repeated over and over, and never an opposing viewpoint, my antennae go up and I start to become skeptical.

If a user posted copyrighted material, it's distinctly possible.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

Honestly. NS could be high on that list. We post copyrighted material, we have radicals, we publicly hate on government, and we talk about porn.
