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.
