That's what they get for naming them after spanish food.

sopa - soup
pipa - coconut (or a pipe that you smoke out of)

Por favor, ¿puedo tener un tazón de sopa de siete mares.

where in the hell did you find that upside down question mark? my keyboard does not have this feature

[FuzzyDunlop]

It's not some huge victory as we see our government take down MegaUpload today. The bills would have just lifted the hoops the DOJ has to jump through now to shut a site down.

Good news, bad source, but that is a different discussion.

The crap is going to get passed on the back of some bill that can't be argued. Expect it to be in some bill about violence against women or child pornography, maybe the double whammy and they'll combine the two, making it virtually impossible to oppose it.

Public is getting backdoored figuratively and literally once again.

They delayed it for one main reason. Obama would have just vetoed the bill to earn some votes, as soon as we are done voting the bill will be back, about a year from now.

Also this bill was tried in 2008, under a different name, and failed. I'd the say the odds of a bill written like this being an earmark are next to 0. Nobody is going to want this thing attached to their bill. It's crazy to say but we actually have people in congress on our side, by association, in this case.

[Darkside Magick]

alot of this also is some california infighting between nocal(silicon valley) and socal(hollywood)!!!!!!

[brooks85]

^thats the majority if it, they are doing all the funding and the smart individuals in congress know which side is more important to the economy, no surprise most are republicans.

MPAA and some of the huge media companies vs amazon, yahoo, linkedIN, facebook etc..
