It looks like things are stalling.. Even the Authors of the bills are backtracking..

From the N.Y. Times..

"Support for the legislation on Capitol Hill eroded throughout the day."

You can guarantee that if it is passed our poxy UK government will introduce it aswell to follow suit.

I don't think a big brother society of censorship is the right way to go.

It's just pisses people off that they are being told what they can and can't look at on the internet.

It's kinda bordering on what's been happening in the likes of china, North Korea et al with there obscene internet censoring of material.

In fact, in theory it's no different.

I spent the better part of yesterday posting all over Facebook, Twitter and Google+ about this.

I hope SOPA and PIPA don't actually happen to the US internet community...because it will take over the world.

It makes me kinda angry because alot of american youtubers can't make videos anymore and I really love them, even more than my german youtubers.
Alot of people get their money from the internet/making videos etc.

a nice video :>



STOP SOPA!

I think we have to enter the matrix... "There is no spoon"

We've won for now... I just can't help to think that Congress might pass the bill silently at a later date when there is much less hype around it, and it is unexpected...
