Philip Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sadly, I don't think it will be the last time we see this bill. It'll probably get hidden in with another bill somewhere, under the radar.

Oh, definitely not... but I think everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for a little while.

joe92 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It's not officially dead yet :-\ And a blackout is still happening... tomorrow, http://sopablackout.org/ Wiki and Wordpress are the two big names that are participating. Plus there's still the matter of PIPA which is supposedly just as bad, though it's hasn't been discussed as much.

ManiacDan Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It's official, I got the blackout page. Very striking. Reddit is down entirely, google's logo is blacked out, and wikipedia has been replaced with a "contact your representative" wizard.

ManiacDan Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'd like to know which congressmen actually go online. Almost every one of them who spoke at the first hearing said they do not know how to use a computer.

ManiacDan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Some interesting stuff: http://www.vice.com/read/pipa-supporters-copyright-violations Congress is immune from many laws, so while it's funny to point and laugh, as government agents they may actually not count.
