I really can't see the SOPA bill being passed, what with all the many people/companies that are against it? Hopefully... xx

This act was so stupid I don't even know Congress was thinking when they created it

Even LoL is trying to stop it and craiglist

When the people in congress are 45+ and don't know how the internet works. It's not all that surprising when you consider the the companies forcing them to do it.

1/18/2012 - The most productive day in modern history.

Here is a nice break down on what exactly SOPA/PIPA is and why it is unacceptable: http://blog.reddit.com/2012/01/techn...-sopa-and.html

Fuck SOPA!!!!

SOPA and PIPA failed! I'm glad that they didn't have make it to US congress

[gurpswoo1]

Yeah just heard the good news, time to rejoice.

SOPA failed, PIPA is just postponed for a few months But hurrah! xx

They will just amend HR 1981 with the SOPA/PIPA details and run it through the voting process. HR 1981 (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-1981) is already pretty bad to begin with since it requires your ISP to track all of your web activity for 18 months.

, Oh well,

Ok we still have some work to do but we now have some real hope, maybe they have finally got the message. It's time politicians started to get the fact the the world is moving forward and leaving them behind.

The internet has allowed the individual to reach the masses who think the exact same way, its Sopa Act would not only undermined the revolution it created but turn back the clock to time and place that now feels dark and oppressed.

It is this fear that is driving us to protest and to try and kill this bill, it's for our future in the end.

Spread the word,
