I don't know about everything about it being bad. There isn't much discussion going on about solutions, so the discussion these bills are causing may turn out to be a positive in the end. Right now though, the bills are poorly created and everyone is just talking about them not being the right solution.
What is a better solution to enable IP enforcement in a safe way, where our liberties are not threatened?
If I start up a website, and then it begins getting enough traffic that I can make a living off of it, but then I find some loser scraping my content, reposting it on their own site, and giving me no credit - I should have legitimate recourse. Right now my only protection is filing a DMCA claim, and I am at the mercy of their ISP - I just have to hope they do something about it. If not, I'm screwed.
There is a need for better legislation, and some form of actual enforcement. It will be interesting to see if anything positive comes out of this.
...It got people's attention, so that alone could lead to something good.
