I don't really have a conclusion to make on this, due to my ignorance of such matters up until recently (well, if last September means recently; I think it is too recent to act like an expert), so I will just link you to some sources:

 * http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/design/how-sopa-pipa-can-affect-you/

 * http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/story/2012-01-18/SOPA-PIPA-protest-reaction/52641560/1

(I've been adding more links here. Simply Google "SOPA" or "PIPA" into 'News' and you have all you need. We may indeed be overreacting, as stated in the BBC link, the bill still hasn't made it as far as to completely "brace" ourselves, but awareness of what could potentially happen is important)

Check out these protests from the activist "group" Anonymous: And this article about it:

These videos will elaborate on it: Let Google be our friend here! I'm scared, as well, since a lot of people in my family use torrents... (Dare I keep this here, haha) This issue is not really something I can think for myself on, I'll just have to trust all my sources and then eventually conclude on what responsibilities I have to not let myself get in strife. But if all the major digital firms are protesting against this, then nothing can be good! I will be willing to protest to the end!
