Internet Blackout

Just got back from a meeting at the hackerspace. They did a small presentation on Senate Bill 968, commonly known as SOPA and PIPA. If this passes this site might close down or change so much it will no longer be fun.

Oh and you can kiss Youtube good-bye
 
Google has said it is going to participate by having a comment on their load page. I hope they have a black background
 
well dead as in its not like it was


and im willing to take any stand i do every day with torrents and ftp's
 
No!!! It's not on hold Congress is taking this up next Week!! You must write your congressman now and let them know what you think. While your at it copy the message and send it to your Senator too.


Edit: It so close. That's the reason everyone is going dark. For now Congress is set to handle this next week.

Edit: Edit: The senate has put this off for now, but NOT the congress
 
This just published about 4 hours ago.


The authors of controversial piracy legislation are dismissing website blackouts planned for Wednesday as a “publicity stunt” designed to “stoke fear” among the public.

Wikipedia, Mozilla, Reddit, Wordpress and some 7,000 other websites are vowing to go dark Wednesday to protest Rep. Lamar Smith’s Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and Sen. Patrick Leahy’s PROTECT IP Act in the Senate.

But Smith and Leahy vowed Tuesday to press forward with their bills — and they both pooh-poohed the protests against them.
 
if it does roll through say goodbye to being able to find any proper information anywhere on the net
