Internet giants seriously considering 'nuclear option' to stop SOPA

Boycott SOPA Android App
Boycott SOPA: An Android app that terrifies publishers and politicians
Armchair activists now have a tool that can transport their SOPA protestations into the real world: Boycott SOPA, an Android app that scans barcodes and tells you whether an object’s manufacturer/publisher is a supporter of the much maligned Stop Online Piracy Act.

If you’ve ever scanned a barcode on your Android phone to look up a book or CD on Amazon, Boycott SOPA works in exactly the same way: First you have to install the ZXing Barcode Scanner app, but then you simply go around pointing your phone’s camera at product barcodes. Boycott SOPA gives you a big red cross if the product is distributed by a SOPA supporter, or a green tick if it’s “clean.

I'm actually writing a news story about SOPA for a public radio station I'm interning at. I'm trying to keep it concise yet informative. Sort of a SOPA for Dummies and the uninformed. Any vital points I should include?
 
Wouldn't this directly affect the government? What I mean by this is some of the nations top revenue streams and employers going stagnant by effectively shutting down their business. Would this not be a problem for them as well?
 
This needs a sticky!Emails will be sent and videos will be shared.This must be stopped!Imagine it passes they can technically shut this site down because you know we don't post music videos and links to songs. No NT means no life:frown:
 
NDAA and SOPA. indefinite detention and censorship.

Destroying our bill of rights and constitution right in front of our eyes.
 
They already passed the NDAA though...

The amount of people who don't really stay up on the news are about to be hit with a massive brick of reality.
