Coming from these sources : 

judiciary.house.gov/issues/Rogue%20Websi...

www.theesa.com/about/members.asp

Capcom usa is a part of '' the enterainment software  association '' . a group of compagnies that support this

For the people that don't know what is sopa , here three sites that will explain the issue
 
www.destructoid.com/destructoid-official...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy...

americancensorship.org/




 
Supporting these bills will not stop piracy at all. This will also remove one of the best way for capcom to promote their own product . Why capcom usa ( and not capcom japan ) support this ??

I don't think Capcom has flat-out said they support it. Also, it's worth mentioning that even though Nintendo, Sony, & EA are part of the ESA, they've announced that they're no longer supporting SOPA (though for some strange reason, they still "kind of" support it. Read the link to see why).

if these bills pass , we can say bye bye to any streams of  fighting game tournament in usa . This is like the best way for  a lot of compagnies like capcom  to promote their game .  sf4 will not have this success if no one could have watch major tournament like evo


Even you tube can be shut down . I haven't seen a lot of trailer of capcom out side of you tube .


Fighting piracy is something good , not when it's by pass other laws that allow liberty expression for everyone on the net . That's suck . Capcom usa is in this association and this group support Sopa .

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm completely against SOPA. All I'm saying is Capcom hasn't made any official statement that they're for SOPA (or against it). Again, even though Nintendo, Sony, & EA are part of ESA, they've been removed from the list of supporters (except for a few of Sony's music divisions, but all of their electronic divisions, like Sony Computer Entertainment America, are not supporters anymore). Just because ESA is listed doesn't mean every member supports it.

these are all your assumptions. its not as bad as you think. sopa is against piracy, which is something being exposed without its creators approval. evo streaming gameplay video is ok if its allowed by capcom. if this bill does pass, trust me, capcom will allow whatever to showoff their game, give rights, just whatever. and no, youtube will not get shut down, do you know how much money youtube is making ? since google got its hand on youtube, they are whoring the most popular channels and stuff, youtube can still go on, but they have to remove any copyrighted material on sight. but its not the end of the world, i m sure no company will want to loose money, for anything like gameplay or tournament, capcom, along with other company will find a way, or approve whatever, the get those videos published. just that now normal users have no right to post them, thats all

Yeah but Capcom can have any website that bad mouths it or it's games shut down. Like I give a less than favorable review for Street Fighter 4. Through SOPA, Capcom can have my website shut down for "copyright infringement".

That doesn't sound quite right, especially if it's for a review.  Reviews are opinions delivered in written or vocal form.  If it's a video review, maybe you can get caught for copyright infringement if there are ads sponsoring your site (or any other form of gainable profit), but I don't think it can otherwise.


Correct me if I'm wrong

from what i understand the SOPA bill could be used to shut down any website no matter how small the infraction. So the Capcom site could be shut down because of some thing some one post in the forums.

I believe Capcom themselves have stated that even legislation was passed, they wouldn't go after streams in the first place.

You actually trust CAPCOM to keep their word?
