That would have been great! "HEY! My paper's due tomorrow and Wikipedia keeps giving me this SOPA shit! Better go on Facebook and bitch about it!" ... "HEY!! They shut down Facebook too! Whatever SOPA is, it sucks! FUCK OBAMA!!" Or something like that. As someone who was against this from the very beginning, it was pretty amusing seeing basically everyone else just find out about the thing yesterday, and not have any idea what it's really supposed to do. But the blackout really did work, because apparently a bunch of senators' websites got overloaded and people took to the streets to protest. Whatever works, right? |

It looks like our brilliant government will take a different approach just in case SOPA/Protect IP doesn't work...

Considering Anonymous will probably detonate a nuke if it does pass, he may not need to.

"SOPA is the Anti-Internet. We, the forces of the Spiral who want the
Internet to grow and evolve, must fight them! WE ARE THE INTERNET THAT
WILL BREAK THROUGH THE HEAVENS! WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!"

I found out this:
A list of companies supporting SOPA. I have no idea of what Ford, Rolex and Caterpillar have to benefit with this law. ![]() Edited by DefinitionOfHatred - 20 Jan 2012 at 11:37am |

SOPA/PIPA has officially become international. I wonder what's next.

I used to use Megavideo to catch up on episodes of my favorite tv shows.

Guys, I wouldn't worry about it. Even if the bill passes, the riots and protests would be so powerful that it would be like a mini Civil War.

That is no good thing IMO.
However, it's pretty cool that the bill didn't pass...for now.

Yeah, that's what I meant. If it passed, stuff like that would happen, and then we'd be fucked. |

^Not me! I am brazilian!
![]() EDIT: No, seriously though, do you really believe the USA will turn something like as described in the graphic novel DMZ? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_%28comics%29 Edited by Tupan - 22 Jan 2012 at 8:52am |

Wouldn't be too surprised if things continue by this look. Edited by DefinitionOfHatred - 22 Jan 2012 at 11:13am |

And that wouldn't really have mattered had the bill passed; it basically said we can do anything anywhere.
