You can't stop piracy, there's just no way. And this bill isn't going to do anything but make pirates have to enter the IP address of a website instead of the normal URL. All it's going to do is harm non-piracy oriented sites. Youtube, Facebook, and other similar sites will be blocked because of the way this bill is worded. The saddest part is the people voting on it more or less said they don't know jack about how this will effect the internet. I doubt the bill will pass, but the fact that it was proposed in the first place is depressing.

Instead of trying to censor the internet, companies like the RIAA and MPAA need to give people a better reason to want to buy movies and music. I understand that piracy does hurt industries, but when we're being force-fed shitty products 90% of the time it shouldn't come as a surprise that sales are down. I'm not going to spend $20 on a CD or DVD/Blu-Ray unless I'm absolutely sure it's worth it.
