As much as I like me some free music, I have no issue in paying for it either- you can still discover new music through youtube, or via the bands website. That is, in fact, how I discover the majority of new content- via legitimate sources.
I am disappointed with a lot of the false information going around about this bill. BUT, trying to be realistic- I know that the age of piracy won't last forever, and I am okay with that.

As someone who may or may not have pirated for a while, I think there's a disconnect between the bill and reality. I agree, what can be done to slow down piracy would be great. An issue I'm seeing though is that this does little to nothing. It'll end up as a game of virtual whack-a-mole with the government...pirates are extremely crafty and resourceful...not to mention there's virtually no way to prevent another site from going up.
Granted, I'm also a little different in thinking about this than the norm...I think this will be a 0 impact bill in most regards.
