If SOPA gets passed I can almost assure you Google and Facebook would both threaten to move their US servers to canada and leave the US fully.
Roblox COULD do that if they were smart. They are a million dollar company now, it wouldn't be hard to move their HQ to Regina or Calgary or Vancouver or somewhere like that.
Either way, if roblox is smart enough to follow google and facebook, they will be able to avoid affect from SOPA. |

| Roblox wouldn't have a problem if it wasn't for the free model freaks on the front page, with their "Who killed Spongebob" obbies. They will literally kill ROBLOX. |

No, the law only applies to websites based in the USA, but once taken down nobody from anywhere in the world can use them. This is why all the big sites are moving out of America. One country cannot set a universal law. |

"One country cannot set a universal law" Let me rephrase that
One country cannot set a universal law PROVIDED THAT NO ONE ELSE ADOPTS IT.

Mini; This is a US bill that they are deciding on. There is no law that affects the internet world wide. For that to happen all countries and the UN would need to agree on it. This DNS blocking is actually only in four countries.
SOPA only will affect USA. Facebook and Google have enough servers in Canada and Mexico to live anyways and jsut move the US HQ. |

| That's what I mean, those games are infringing copyright and ROBLOX can be taken down because of those fools on the front page wanting to make a quick buck. |

| If the law gets passed those fools could be deleted and IPed for breaking federal law. |
