Quote - my guess is that, since the american president came out against it, it can't become law. poser sites would mostly be affected by blue laws, but as in the case of computer-generated kiddie porn (COPA), we've seen that these laws can be struck down, if enacted. IIRC this site (and possibly other poser sites) already have a rule that those posting images here do so under the condition that they allege or aver that they own copyright. I ain't a lawyer.
As with all things in american politics, you know what is in the details.
1. If enough members of congress support these bills, they could override any veto.
2. Big Hollywood (which is liberal and has lobbying power) is for it. So Obama could either do a mea culpa or a stealth signing. Likewise the bribes... I mean campaign donations from lobbists, will sway congress a lot more than emails.
3. This isn't the first time a law like this has been tried. So it or something like it will get through eventually.
4. When congress failed to create a bill to regulate CO2 emissions, for better or worse it's not the issue, the EPA decided they'll go ahead and regulate it on their own... and SCOTUS agreed with them. So the FBI or FCC or someone could quietly say, we've got a precedent here, and enact these regulations anyways.
WARK!
