In a leaked letter sent to Spain’s outgoing President, the US ambassador to the country warned that as punishment for not passing a SOPA-style file-sharing site blocking law, Spain risked being put on a United States trade blacklist . Inclusion would have left Spain open to a range of “retaliatory options” but already the US was working with the incoming government to reach its goals.

If its true, I dont even....

Torrentfreak are actually a very reliable source in relation to these kind of things.

Obviously they wont do trade with a country that wont adopt the same trading policies as them. Even though I find sopa to be bull shit it wouldn't surprise me if they would blacklist non-sopa following countries.

in that case....What the **** USA?

Doesn't surprise me in the least, the amount of times the leaders sprout crap like "Open Internet" and then in the same sentence talk about restricting freedoms or "copyright" is nothing short of shameful.

When I'm older, I'll move to Canada, UK, or Korea or something.

lol, arent those some main traders/allies/partners with the USA?

So that's how our government plans to make passing SOPA an okay thing. Now they can go "Look! Spain did it first!".

I really hate the U.S. sometimes...
