So basically...
It's hard to see this as anything other than an attempt to pretend to appease us. |

On PIPA: It got gutted, too. Relevent quote:
Meanwhile, the SOPA hearing for next Wednesday has been indefinitely delayed to address "outstanding concerns." Watch as it slowly rots away in committee! |

Actually just read that both bills practically need to be rewritten from scratch before ever being taken seriously thanks to the online petition that has been around for months.
See what happens when shit gets done by the people? The Internet is safe for now, and that is a very good thing. |

The White House responds, which resulted in Rupert Murdoch having a shit-fit on Twitter. |

And now it is the dead. Quite a shocking turn of events to say the least. All that's left now is PIPA.
EDIT: Alternate link. |

Now everyone should train their protests on PIPA and destroy it, too. Maybe even turn it on the DMCA next. Ifthis outrage is truly this powerful, then it's about time all the bills like this were destroyed.
Piracy is an issue, but all the dumbheaded bills need to implode and be replaced with ones which actually match reality. |

SOPA isn't dead. They just froze it, and I would not be surprised to see it make a comeback after the elections. |

I like the whole part of "foreign thieves" they keep saying all the time, considering which people the bill will effect the most. ![]() Well, I was not really expecting this bill to go down that easy. |

like see, i'm concerned for different reasons. one: i can't pirate music. that's some bullshit. two: freedom of speech etc. but not concerned enough to do much about it. other than sign a petition or whatever. i'm sure it won't pass with this much goddamned protest. i mean google and wikipedia are blackin' out. i think that says something. |

MPAA called the blackouts an "abuse of power."
Yeah... about that... |
