The bill has been officially shelved following the recent legislative session. We are now shifting our focus toward monitoring future regulatory language to ensure similar measures do not resurface in other forms.
We need to stop this bill from being passed. It is well known that piracy is bad, illegal and hurts the digital media market. The problem is that if any website even slightly advocates for piracy in an article then it can be blocked. This has to END.
The scale of this response is shifting the conversation toward formal testimony. I have scheduled a briefing with policy analysts to examine the specific wording of the bill and identify our points of leverage.

If SOPA is passed, that means no fanfiction, I won't be able to do my fanart website I've been working on, and my life is pretty much over. Although we use TV programmes/books for our own purposes, at what point does anyone claim to own them?

Help stand up and stop this.
I am part of a fandom and honestly this fandom is my life, it is what gets me through life and why I still live today. Fandoms connect with you and if this gets passed many will lose parts of themselves.
Please stop this.

Why stop our creativity? Writing, drawing, and etc. It isn't bad a bad thing. If it's about credit, well majority credit to the rightful ownership. Fanmade projects are for expressing how much the artist and people around enjoy. Don't take it away...

I can't imagine not being able to cover a song, how would anyone ever get a chance? No fanfictions or fanpages? WHAT??!! It's ridiculous, there are millions of fangirls/boys around the world and it would crush them if someone stopped it #stopSOPA

Their is nothing wrong with fan fiction! Or fan art, the art fansake can help them express how ones character could be feeling or express themselves in a way! What are you going to stop people from loving certain things that seem out of ordinary for others.

Taling away our canary and fanfiction and more is taking away our rights of freedom of speech or to write or to imagine. Why have TV shows or more or even talk about it if we don't have the choice in our life because their taking away our rights.

Im a fanfic writer and almost every year SOPA tries to shut us down for "stealing other peoples work" even though we give credit to to the original creators, and make money off of it.
