SOPA threatens to destroy Internet

The Internet has everything that I could possibly want out a person or even a large group of people. It entertains and educates me; it also provides means of communicating to other humans.

I can order food from it, get money from it, pay my bills and get my mail. The way it seems technology is going you might be able to never have to move from one single spot.

So, I decided that this marvelous thing has to be destroyed for the sake of humanity, and I have come up with a foolproof plan to do that. One might consider some sort of terrorist act to dismantle the structure of the Internet. But he is thinking way too small and simple because things that are destroyed can just be rebuilt overtime, and the people will see him as a villain who would be quickly brought to justice before you can do anything. One needs to get more nefarious and complex in his thinking if he wants to put the Internet down like a dog with rabies. Instead of fighting the law to get what one wants, it is much easier and legal to just bend the law to his whim and make it work for him.

My plan will begin by going to major corporations and entertainment companies and telling them some things about filing sharing, people stealing their content and giving it out for free on the Internet. This will no doubt spark some sort of overreaction from the corporations, who instead of thinking of interesting and inspiring ways of fighting this new form of piracy will try to brutally end it at once.  They would try to use codes to register items, file law suits against people who are stealing the information or just make a complex and frustrating system that prevents piracy (but usually does more harm than good). This will no doubt fail, and this will force the corporations to make Congress do something about it.

With the job now pushed over to Congress, they will follow the same path as the corporations before them and just attempt to strong arm the Internet pirates with little consideration of the consequences it could have. Most of the legislative they attempt to pass will be found to be unconstitutional and be quickly dismissed from the mind.

Eventually, there would be a time where Congress will almost forget what the Bill of Rights are or even if there is a constitution and then present a bill that gives them power to shut down any website that has copyrighted material or has material they find obscene based on their feelings at the time. If, who I am kidding, WHEN the bill is passed in Congress, they will start shutting down those pirate websites and finally free those multibillion dollar corporations from losing any percentage of their profits. Then once the power gets to their heads, the government will go after anything that goes against what they want and go after the porn, YouTube, political blogs and other major websites they deem unworthy and show a good message. Before you know it, the entire Internet has just become a thing where the man gives you updates on the glorious war against Eastasia while you wait for your Newspeak dictionary to come in the mail.

There that is how you destroy the Internet. Wait, Congress is considering a bill called SOPA? And it does just what I described? Well then, that is doubleplusgood.
