15. Hardly anyone here understands it

No one has looked into it.

LOL, when I understand something and others don't, I find that people don't want to believe me either. But I do have an open mind. But am not going to just say well, you understand it, that's all that is needed.

"in essence, lie?" "same category as Syria and China?" What does the bill really require? How much will it cost the tech companies?" Without hyperbole, please.

I think the issue here is really just a balance of the Hollywood side's rights to copyright in their content, versus enforcing their rights and how much that could cost the tech companies. Hyperbole like "shutting down the internet" is there to scare you.
