FireFox Favourite Manga Fruits Basket	A number of sites have gone dark today as a sign of protest against both SOPA and PIPA. Some sites haven't fully shut off and only have a page on their frontpage in protest. Here's a BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16612628 And a list of sites taking part: http://sopastrike.com/ Thoughts?

It is kinda annoying though noticed about 20 minutes ago tried to look at something on wikipedia >.> Sopa is just stupid, plain and simple.

Now we worry about PIPA.

It might get a few more people to notice and read about it. SOPA and PIPA are both stupid, yes.

Google Chrome	You can only visit Wikipedia if you use some sort of get-around thing. Otherwise Wikipedia redirects you. The people saying that the whole thing is a gimmick and abuse of power are the biggest idiots I've ever seen. They don't seem to understand what the difference between a publicity stunt and protesting is, and it isn't an abuse of power if people were warned or being encouraged to stick up for the future of the website. You can't be so sure that SOPA will be dead this week though Cal. They don't go to discuss it further until February, that's 2 weeks from now at the very least. I hardly think they'll scrap it if people are still sitting there scoffing at websites being blanked out.

FireFox Favourite Manga Fruits Basket	They may scrap it to bring in PIPA though arguing that it isn't as extream, the protest action is against both SOPA and PIPA which a lot of people forget.

★ Bextreme Dream ★ Posts: 9,435 Group: Retired Staff Member #1,545 Joined: July 5, 2006 Gender Female Country United Kingdom What Browser do you use? Google Chrome	I guess they should probably stage another protest later then about PIPA if SOPA does disappear.

The White House did, so if you count that as Obama, then yes. So that's probably the best thing we have going for us right now.

Frankly I think there are other equally important laws being passed/going through Congress kinda annoying how this gets focused on, probably because people want to keep downloading stuff illegally.
