This Act, if passed, would be a serious blow against democracy and the freedom of speech, and the internet as we know it could possibly be forever changed. (At least, until everyone realizes just what situation they're in and do something about it...)
Thankfully, there's hope; while there is (unfortunately) support for the act, there's also widespread discontentment towards the act, including 9 big companies such as Google, Twitter, Yahoo, etc., and much of the internet is speaking out against the act. And considering just what Infinity MUGEN does here, (MUGEN and all the copyrights that go into the the characters and stages and etc,) Infinity is at stake as well.
So, if you disagree with this act, search online, do your research, and then speak out against it; you'll feel better if you do. ;)

What's really horrifying is that Americans are just accepting it like it's normal or that there's nothing we can do about it and that it's just the way it is.
The direction this country is heading looks to be heading towards a very different America. A lot of folks out there are starting to wake up to it while many others refuse to come to terms with it. %-(
There will definitely be more stuff like this to come. Prepare yourselves! XD||

What are they just going to be like "Oh, that... Yeah that never existed. We made it up blah blah blah."... o.O#I know this is COMPLETELY off topic, but that quip reminds me of when they blew up the moon in Sonic Adventure 2 and after than they just acted like that never happened.
But about the bill, I wouldn't worry about it. I have a feeling this bill is gonna get crashed in a major way

The Grand prize here consists of what companies believe to be our American Jobs and what the people believe to be our Freedom of Speech. This is Unconstitutional, and we have the right of Free Speech at this moment. Let's use it wisely while we can.

We'll put a banner over our logo to promote the awareness further. We may be 1% of a gaming population, but we can dream big, and fight strong.

No, this is a different bill.
