I support the protests. As far as I see it, this is concerning the free information flow on the Internet, and not about piracy.
We have plenty of documentation over here, that says the music consumers under 30 are willing to pay plenty to use streaming services ect. It's all about a format that works for them, not about getting things for free at all.
I believe the piracy issue is used as a convenient argument to rob control over channels of free speech and free flow of information.
It's about the principle, and if the free principle is broken, no matter who benefits more or less as is, the new principle is control in one way or another.
This does concern the world wide community, not just the US, but I'm concerned that a bill like this risk to isolate the US from the world community, as there are no way a bill like that could pass in the European Union.

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
