Constantly increasing and then reducing civil liberties and public freedoms seems to all they're worried about. That and making sure all the other countries in the world have freedom which America can then trample upon later :D The Protect-IP Act or PIPA is especially dangerous because of it's simplistic view of the internet; PIPA was clearly dreamt up by a Congressman who had the basic's of networking explained to him by his 12yr old grandson. In reality it would cause chaos.

Senators are apparently queueing up to drop support for them after the amount of abuse they are getting from their constituents - <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/senators-drop-support-of-piracy-bill-after-protests/2012/01/18/gIQA848M9P_story.html" title="SOPA and PIPA - Washington Post" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Washington Post Story</a>. Basically, it's ill-thought out, dangerous and fucking daft. Tackling piracy needs to be intelligently and working with the public, not taking away rights.
