The end of free downloads is nigh?

Someone told me somewhere, a rather long time ago, that one of my biggest problem is not knowing when “the end is nigh”. Fair enough. I did crash a car once out of not knowing when to stop putting the pedal to the metal...plus some other shitty moments..

But, never before has that statement ring louder in my head than when I started to read about the SOPA/PIPA Acts that are supposedly being prepared in the U.S. Hearing that these are legal instruments that could actually end free sharing and file storing of music is like hearing one of those daylight lightning strikes. Shocking and annoying at the same time.

I thought it was just a joke, until I try to access Megaupload and got this instead....

Well, since I’ve never like to read complex legal drafts, and found the following video very helpful to understand what SOPA/PIPA’s consequences are, thought I’d just share it here now and safe anyone reading the pain of understanding what the hell I’m blabbering about.
