Quick one for today

I'm sure we've all heard by now, but kudos to Google and Wikipedia for drawing attention to SOPA (try entering a search on wiki).  While the news the other day about the White House speaking out against SOPA was another victory, we nonetheless must keep up the pressure.  Until this piece of legislation is wiped from existence it will always be a threat, and the worst we can do at this point is become complacent.

    On google click the censor bar and on the right sign their petition. Then go to wikipedia and put in your zip code and get the twitter etc of your senators and tell them how bad SOPA is

    It's somehow good about the SOPA thing but still obviously everything has both positive and negative points as well!

    This is the second blog entry that I've read about SOPA. It's great that everyone's acknowledging it. I still need to do some research on it though...

    A ton of the webcomics that I read are also blacking out to gain awareness for SOPA/PIPA which is awesome to see.

    I'm really proud of people for recognizing how awful of an idea this is, and taking the time to try to do something about it.

    SOPA is a disgrace. It's the start of something awful. Kudos to these huge corporations taking a stand.

    Wikipedia being down must have been pretty hard on students trying to cheat on assignments.

    There's got to be a better way than SOPA, y'know?

    Hopefully if it's passed, Obama would veto it. But if Mitt Romney gets elected, I could see him signing something like SOPA

    Absolutely. I believe the powers that be were counting on us being complacent to get SOPA through.
