Websites dedicated to infringing activities.  Immensely broad language that gives almost absolute power on the internet. Allow Attorney General to go after search engines, social media websites, technology, news... anywhere on the internet and attempt to expand jurisdiction into other countries.  If the owner of the website cannot be found, then the website can have access blocked to it.

These bills, especially Stop Online Piracy Act, will make the internet into television or the radio.

Help us stop a bill that would block many popular internet sites.
16
  
17
Objective:  Inform masses about the probable outcome of the legislation regarding 
18
H.R.3261 - Stop Online Piracy Act and S.978 Protect IP Act [IP as in Intellectual Property, seems it was intentionally named to represent something else]
19

21
Most Dangerous Parts of HR 3261 -
22
Paragraph 212.5-
23
"(5) RELIEF- On application of a qualifying plaintiff [RIAA, other companies suing] following the commencement of an action under this section with respect to an Internet site dedicated to theft of U.S. property, the court may issue a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, or an injunction, in accordance with rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, against a registrant of a domain name used by the Internet site, or against an owner or operator of the Internet site, or, in an action brought in rem under paragraph (2), against the Internet site, or against the domain name used by the Internet site, to cease and desist from undertaking any further activity as an Internet site dedicated to theft of U.S. property."
24
25
 [what this means::  If someone lobbies a complaint, the website is shut down before it is actually investigated.  This is dangerous because it can be used on smaller websites to kill them with red tape, whether they're assisting piracy or not.  It is a well-known business tactic in other spectrums and will only shrink the internet start-ups] 
26
 
27
 Paragraph 34 sect 2a1
28
 (1) FIRST AMENDMENT- Nothing in this Act shall be construed to impose a prior restraint on free speech or the press protected under the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
29
 [HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.  Must we add a onstitutional amendment to protect our postings online?  Our websites?  The internet is the frontier to free speech.  We, worldwide, will not stand to censor the internet for any means.  If someone is doing something illegal, prosecute them.  Innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around]
30
 
31
 Title2 Sec 202
32
-Trafficking in inherently dangerous goods or services.
33
[again, intentionally vague that will only censor you and I]
34
 
35
 
36
 "One of the sites that would face severe consequences is YouTube. According to the bill’s definition, YouTube infringes on someone else’s copyrighted material, and it’s possible that the site could find itself virtually hidden from consumers. What’s more, lip-syncing to a song and broadcasting it on the Internet could violate  terms.  Also impacted are search engines for displaying websites such as google, social network sites  and forums such as facebook, twitter, reddit, 4chan... the list goes on and on"

 In short, if the Justice Department doesn't like what you post in either bill, your content can be pulled in minutes.

TRANSCRIPT
127
128
Citizens of the United States, We are Anonymous.
129
130
This is an urgent emergency alert to all people of the United States. The day we've all been waiting for has unfortunately arrived. The United States is censoring the internet. Our blatant response is that we will not sit while our rights are taken away by the government we trusted them to preserve. This is not a call to arms, but a call to recognition and action!
131
132
The United States government has mastered this corrupt way of giving us a false sense of freedom. We think we are free and can do what we want, but in reality we are very limited and restricted as to what we can do, how we can think, and even how our education is obtained. We have been so distracted by this mirage of freedom, that we have just become what we were trying to escape from.
133
134
For too long, we have been idle as our brothers and sisters were arrested. During this time, the government has been scheming, plotting ways to increase censorship through means of I S P block aides, D N S blockings, search engine censorship, website censorship, and a variety of other methods that directly oppose the values and ideas of both Anonymous as well as the founding fathers of this country, who believed in free speech and press!
135
136
The United States has often been used as an example of the ideal free country. When the one nation that is known for its freedom and rights start to abuse its own people, this is when you must fight back, because others are soon to follow. Do not think that just because you are not a United States citizen, that this does not apply to you. You cannot wait for your country to decide to do the same. You must stop it before it grows, before it becomes acceptable. You must destroy its foundation before it becomes too powerful.
137
138
Has the U.S. government not learned from the past? Has it not seen the 2011 revolutions? Has it not seen that we oppose this wherever we find it and that we will continue to oppose it? Obviously the United States Government thinks they are exempt. This is not only an Anonymous collective call to action. What will a Distributed Denial of Service attack do? What's a website defacement against the corrupted powers of the government? No. This is a call for a worldwide internet and physical protest against the powers that be. Spread this message everywhere. We will not stand for this! Tell your parents, your neighbors, your fellow workers, your school teachers, and anyone else you come in contact with. This affects anyone that desires the freedom to browse anonymously, speak freely without fear of retribution, or protest without fear of arrest.
139
140
Go to every I R C network, every social network, every online community, and tell them of the atrocity that is about to be committed. If protest is not enough, the United States government shall see that we are truly legion and we shall come together as one force opposing this attempt to censor the internet once again, and in the process discourage any other government from continuing or trying.
141
142
We are Anonymous.
143
We are Legion.
144
We do not forgive censorship.
145
We do not forget the denial of our free rights as human beings.
146
To the United States government, you should've expected us.
