It's pretty ridiculous what they're trying to do with the SOPA/PIPA bills.

One thing I found ridiculous is that they want to hold domains responsible for everything that goes on on them, regardless of who does it. It will essentially cripple all US multi-user domains like blogspot, youtube or this website. Okay, I'm not sure if they're all based in the US, but they would be ****ed if they were and this bill got passed.

edit :

Not 100% sure about this, but it looks like you could (in theory) get jailtime simply for embedding youtube videos in your blog posts.
