@Dasta Fan 6: Actually, they have paid attention to it, but in all of their arrogance and/or hypocrisy, the proponents of the bills have dismissed the concerns of the public as "completely hypothetical and unfounded". Despite the way it is written and the fact that it can lead up to the very scenarios of them happening because of the way it's written, the bills' authors refused any amendments that would have helped American sites be protected from such scenarios. They try to assure the public that US sites would not be affected, yet at the same time, they were turning down amendments that would have help protected them from being targeted by copyright holders.
