On a much better side of the story, here is actually a link mentionning that president Obama has put a Veto on SOPA. Now, this may be a good news but... It's only on hold and it will strike back unfortunately. Bt I'm happy to see that someone as influent as the US president is standing up against this SOPA bill and that he takes part of the internet freedom and free access to information. That shows that Obama is standing up with his american citizens and I think it can only be a good thing.

That's good to hear!
Now just for PIPA to lose support...I'm worried that people will begin to back down now that the day of online-protesting is over. Hopefully everyone realizes that PIPA is still active. Luckily one of my Florida senators has already detracted his support for PIPA, I hope others will do the same. SOPA isn't the only problem.

I had the misfortune of sitting in class today-asking people what they thought about it-and all I really heard in response was "eh, you wouldn't want your copyrighted work stolen would you? The government wouldn't abuse its power, no one would abuse it, I mean cmon!"

I wish people could understand that this legislation is so much more encompassing than what they have been lead to believe. As was pointed out earlier, one complaint, and BAM, the offending site is blocked-no due process. Which is one of the key problems I see here, the lack of due process.

Hope this messy piece of legislation gets sorted out properly...

Honestly, I'd be surprised if a riot DOESN'T result from this bill. ...Or worse for that matter.

In Poland, tens of thousands of people went out in the streets.

For the corrupt prime minister, conspiring with foreign corporations is called "negotiating" or "consulting" but the voice of his own people is an act of "sabotage". >:(

america really needs to step up its game.

with the passing of time, were slowly forgetting WHY our country has so much freedom...cause we FOUGHT and kicked ass for it.
we need to get back up, and actively fight this. not just complain


we should use our voices

C-11 is  way worse the SOPA was.....like you know that CD  you bought and you want to rip to your iPod? NOPE won't be able to do that....or back up your DVDs? nope...I hope Harper realizes what  it actually is and doesn't let it pass...


and the funny thing is...the companies that started all this...are the ones that originally put out the piracy software....


not to mention the Illuminati....

Thankfully SOPA was killed a few months back as a result of the internet-wide blackout (and help from Anonymous). Now we just need to get rid of CISPA and ACTA.
