> Am I wrong for not being worried about SOPA because it's just too stupid to pass? With all the opinions and attention being thrown around the internet, what is the real chance this will go through?
Assuming the Internet votes on SOPA, it doesn't have a chance in hell. If it's Congress that's voting on SOPA, however, it doesn't really matter what people on the Internet think unless they actually make their opinions known in ways that members of Congress will notice (i.e. not forums, blogs or tweets — more along the lines of phone calls).
> So I have to ask, what is the actual chance that SOPA will pass?
If nothing changes? Pretty good. It's got a lot of support in the House Judiciary Committee, and its supporters are really trying to stack the deck in its favor.
