Protect IP bill

Has anyone else caught onto this yet? Essentially, the US government wants to pass a bill that would allow them to shut down any and all websites that they deem to be "infringing copyright", and apparently they could go after and sue anyone who posts "objectionable" material, even a kid singing a pop song. Such a bill passing would be an unmitigated disaster and would cause far, far more damage than it would repair.

So yeah, better get rid of those Pokemon in the logo, Harrison.

I'm an American and I can rightfully say that said bill would be the worst thing that happened to the internet. I like my fansites congress.
