You are naive. Pirates are just the strawmen, the real goal of SOPA is to eliminate all user-generated content that threatens the monopoly of the Big Media.

It's all explained in the paper in the second link.
It's a property of the legal system that mandates laws to have a start date and allows for an optional expire date. This is mostly used to limit the duration of an executive order or decree, but it's not limited to just that.
Just because the laws are bad doesn't mean we shouldn't try to fix them. You might think that it won't have any effect, just wait until people get convicted for posting jailbreaking methods or linking to those posts.
"Right now, content publishers who want to reach readers through dedicated mobile apps have to hire a separate engineering team to build each app — one for iOS (based on Objective-C), another for Android (Java), a third for Windows Phone (C#), etc. Yahoo's Platform Technology Group is working on an alternative: a set of JavaScript and HTML-based tools that would handle core UI and data-management tasks inside mobile apps for any operating system, moving developers closer to the nirvana of 'write once, run everywhere.'
Not trying to defend ACTA but the final version of it had changed a lot during the negotiations so claiming that they did what America told them is not true.
Well at least they are being frank with what they are doing, and with a unified policy the users will know it exactly. Privacy breaches are far worse when they happen behind your back.
If you want to fight the law by breaking it than you need to be "very black and white". You have to be perfectly clear what your goals are and how will you try to achieve them. You have to take your actions consistently with your communication. Otherwise, you are just a vandal.
It's like saying that "Hey, this cop might have shot two innocent people but it's very black and white thinkign to call him a murderer. I mean, he also shot three criminals that sure balances it out isn't it?" .
He never said that they were organised. All he said is that they don't have a consistent ideology and attack sites mostly at random making up an excuse for each of them. None of these requires them to be an organised group.
You would be surprised how little part of the general public is that knows about things you believe are common knowledge. If bunch of politicians gets sued for corruption, that might just provide enough emotional basis so that debates about how to solve the problem, like changing the party support system get the attention they need to start a change.

Which is probably why he only got two years instead of 30.
Larger asteroids are also easier to detect.

But what if a terrorist hijacks a train and drives it into the White House?

Doesn't it support JME making this a non-issue?
Like, you know, the webpage they already have?

Correction: one of their users linked to it.
Instead of building a moonbase he should give NASA the money and let the scientists decide the most appropriate use of it.
It would be impossible to aim that laser without losing the majority of its energy.
They claim that their cars are safe but until an independent committee verifies it I remain sceptical.
If autonomous mode is optional as it should be, the driver will just take back control and pull over.
Exactly, people not living in a country shouldn't have the right to vote there.

From what I've heard one of the astronauts did see an intelligent living organism climbing out of the moonlander.
Socialism has already failed doing that.
You could just buy another pair of glasses with coloured glass. More classy than cardboard anyway.
Robotics is developing slowly but constantly on its own, but is still very far from replacing a human.
This is not about studies but a diplomatic arrangement. Noone could build a Moonbase without the consent of the other major powers.
