Thinking out loud about SOPA
by Hijexx at 6:18 pm EST, Dec 23, 2011

Hypothetical situation 1:

1) Spammer sends email about an expensive watch for a great price, too good to be true
2) Recipient opens email and goes to site
3) Recipient buys a fake watch, purportedly thinking it is real

Hypothetical situation 2:

1) Customer wants to buy an expensive watch
2) Customer uses a search engine to do price shopping
3) Scam site shows up with a great price, too good to be true
4) Customer buys a fake watch, purportedly thinking it is real

What ever happened to "buyer beware?" SOPA's supporters say this bill is necessary to protect intellectual property and stop counterfeit sales over the internet. I don't buy the sob story. If you want a Rolex, go to their website, find an authorized dealer and buy it from that dealer. Otherwise, cry me a fucking river when you get ripped off. There's no reason to piss all over DNS to protect dumbass CONSUMERS from themselves.

SOPA reads like the internet's sole purpose is to be a marketplace for goods.
