i bluntly oppose all things that prevent my access to subscription and ad free television and music
SOPA is pretty bad. Mostly because it puts the ball in the hands of people like the RIAA to go to court for injunctions and such to break sites and blacklist them based on one judge's interpretation.
I don't know what PIPA is all about.
What I would like is for someone from the internet to propose an alternative they can live with that doesn't entail an endless cat and mouse game of youtube uploaders evading software copyright protection mechanisms
you know, instead of just complaining

I'm in favor of having courts rule against foreign sites who explicitly deal with copyright infringement.
And companies like Youtube should be under more pressure to build a better system than "let everyone upload anything and then wait for the papers to get filed from Viacom"
It's not impossible. The model seems to clearly exist with Vimeo, which doesn't seem to have rampant content piracy issues. Youtube doesn't have to do it though because they have more lawyers than channels and they can handle the assaults, and that five days the Jay Leno clip does make it to their site is a huge benefit for them.
DMCA is far too weak. Someone should be able to go to a judge and say "these guys have been abusing DMCA for five years with hundreds of thousands of individual incidents, we'd like it if you issued a court order for them to cut it out under pain of financial penalty"
that seems perfectly reasonable to me
The assumption is made, falsely, and thanks to a lot of stupid RIAA cases, that such a law would lead to the MPAA shutting down every website on the planet. I don't think that will happen if the law is written properly and if there is ample time given to allow a site to architecturally un-fuck their service.
please don't call the bill PIPA, especially if you plan on writing to your congresspeople (haha yeah right)
it's the PROTECT IP Act. there is no such thing as PIPA. PROTECT IP is an acronym already, standing for "Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property"

but you still have to tell youtube about your content
It's not really possible to do otherwise. Youtube can't just know content without being told about the ownership in some way.
How does Vimeo know their content?
Does youtube take legal action against users who habitually try to evade the content ID systems (read: not just deactivating the account)?
Do they provide information to content owners about people who habitually try to defraud the detection systems so THEY can take legal action?
Nobody is saying that Youtube doesn't try to deal with the problem, but they do make money on it even when they fail, and that's where the content people start to get upset, and that's the basis of their case. The point is that Youtube wins whether or not they succeed internally at upholding DMCA, mostly because DMCA was written in what might as well be the stone age. The DMCA safe harbor has no monetary threshold. This is basically insane.
Under new pressure to release his tax returns, Mitt Romney on Tuesday acknowledged that he pays an effective tax rate of about 15 percent because so much of his fortune comes from past investments.
“It’s probably closer to the 15 percent rate than anything,” Mr. Romney said. “Because my last 10 years, I’ve — my income comes overwhelmingly from investments made in the past, rather than ordinary income, or rather than earned annual income.”

Rolo, I thought you thought SOPA was no big deal? What's up with the flip-flopping, you flip-flopper? Don't you Canadian fellows know that once you make your mind up, you have to stick to your guns, no matter how terribly misinformed or wrong your opinion is?

Vimeo doesn't have the userbase that Youtube has. it is far, far easier for them to patrol 900,000 users, not all of whom are active, versus the brazillian users on Youtube. put another way, Vimeo ain't popular and has an alexa rank of like 100, where Youtube is stupid popular with a rank of 3. Vimeo's staff can more actively police a lower number of submissions. it's not tech.
the basis of the content providers argument is that they can't control ALL PIRACY EVER on the internet? face it, if youtube was not making revenue on share videos, someone out there is. the content providers aren't just dealing with copyright violations, they are competing with convenience and price in an environment where they have little control. the only solution they see that won't utterly reform the way they do business is to grab control of the internet and strangle it through government puppets.
i'm not a person that says piracy is fine. it's not. but neither is the government being bribed into propping up a static and dying business model. the file sharing and media sharing genies are out of the bottle, for good or ill, along with the sheer convenience and low price that come with them. old media needs to either adjust and evolve or go extinct.

So why are extra measures against piracy needed right now? I'm not saying they aren't, just why that is.

Probably not, since those other companies have to make money through ad revenue and whatnot, but it would be cool.
