Unfortunately most people have not heard of what is going on, and few that have really understand what they are proposing to change :|

This is so awesome.

ALSO BIG NEWS, don't know if you guys heard, but Megaupload was killed.

So let's examine this, the government essentially already has the power to take down sites as they please... but that's not enough and they want even more control and power with SOPA/PIPA.

Fantastic.

Luckily MU got pretty horrible as it aged and there's 20 other alternatives, but that's still a low blow. A low blow that I can only hope fuels this fire even more as it should.

I'm not letting this comment slip through the cracks. Have you ever actually given five seconds of thought as to what abolishing IP would do? It sure as hell wouldn't be a good thing.

For me copyright is either to be reformed or obliterated completely. :lol:

This should be good. How would you reform copyright?

Not my place to argue about this, there's a new generation with their iThings and clouds and social networks it's up to them if they really want to fix the system.
