LOL I thought Sterling would be silent for all 7 minutes or something.
Nice video, someone stop SOPA.

The title is supposed to be "SOPA approved" as in, "approved BY SOPA."
I am beginning to worry too many people did not read it the way I had hoped.

Jim do you have the rights to the song "Born Depressed" by "Drill Queen" which was played in the intro to this video? Because if not, I think the boys in blue(suits) would like to have a talk with you. And your money.
Ive just watched it.
Good vid jim, I like the way all you talk about is yourself, because with SOPA you can mention fuck all without leaving yourself open to copyright infringement.
BTW how long has this bill been debated in the senate? its worrying that this POS hasnt be thrown out on the first day. I wonder how many backhanders of cash is going on, cos theres no fucking way anybody who is legit would even contemplate such a bill

Just a heads up. If anyone has an Android Phone, there's info on an app that detects if the product has any connection to the supporters of SOPA

Called No More SOPA(Or Boycott SOPA). This also requires the free Barcode Scanner App. I tested this on Zelda: Skyward Sword, Kung Fu Panda 2, a Sterlite 3 Drawer Cart and a Canon Inkjet Cartridge refill and they all turned up Negative.

I really want to hear the rest of that mushroom song! You should definitely set up a band with Jonathan Holmes!

Thats a very intresting app and one that hurts companies in the pocket. It could do with some publicity.

The first time Jim goes to this "out" everyone keeps talking about had to end it at least one death.
Did you break the rod on the curtain or did it just fall off the rod? Or is it hung by those hook type things that mount on the wall....?
Either way...close the door when you leave the house! What are you born in a barn?
Oh wait...you died....nm....

I read that title.... First it was like "WHAT NO I HAVE NO FAITH IN HUMANITY", but then I thought, wait, why would they announce that on the Jimquisition? It may be the greatest show in the universe, but come on!
I sent e-mails to all those companies on the list that was posted on here, but I have a feeling that won't do much. I can't contact my senator, since I'm Canadian. I wan't to something more, I wan't to make a change here. SOPA will ruin what is arguably the greatest innovation of the past few decades, and I would hate to see modern internet die a horrible death. It's sad, and I can't stand to see an act this despicable and treacherous come to pass.

I wonder if this SOPA rule will give the likes of EA the power to pull a bad review of a game? Just a thought. If SOPA passes, then it will be just like, well not even, the days of old when we relied on magazines like Zzap (C64). Surely if internet can't have a say in the media regarding anything to do with gaming, then neither should other media like magazines, TV and so on. So no more VGA (which is probably a good thing seeing as it is a kiss ass show meant only for advertising). Yes, we face a dark and gloomy world. Kind of hope Batman kicks SOPA ass and wax that thing good.
Jim, you'll have to film this again with a different backdrop or take down the video. I didn't authorize use of my famous "red background split in twain by a horizontal black line".
Oops... I meant my famous "four congruent red rectangles separated by perpendicular black lines". Yeah, that one's mine.
Fuck I did NOT read that as intended. The sheer fact that this scared me as much as it has has made me realice how much I do NOT want SOPA to be approved. If only I lived in the US and could do anything 'bout it...
I was hoping to hear a snide commentary on SOPA filled with insightful wisdom from Jim.
But this was much better.

Okay, this might sound a little ignorant but;
Is there even a chance that this will get passed? I mean I know a number of big publishers are backing it but as its so poorly worded I wouldn't have thought the american government would let it pass.
Also, I'm not a American so how would this act actually effect things outside of America? I mean they can't shut down sites based abroad or anything right? The internet is a global thing, even if this passed, one country cannot police the whole internet. At best they could block it off like China does.

Same here, I'm not american so I'm not entirely sure how it affects me but I still think it's stupid and want to help anyway I can.
So if somebody, (without raging) could tell me how it affects us in england I would really appreciate it.

President Obama has already said he will veto it. However we still want to make sure it doesn't pass the House. If it does pass only to be rejected by the President, it will only be cause for them to try again.
@Jim
Great episode. Another great example of how SOPA will effect the internet was done by the nostalgia critic. Don't know if you've heard of him, but I think you would appreciate this.
