@ gerbick SOPA is not dead yet, MPAA and friends are not done. The 94 million they spent getting the legislation written will be fought for tooth and nail.

@kangal English WIki, Reddit and boing boing shut down yesterday ..wiki left a loop hole the mobile site/api was still working. Still there were huge amounts of people complaining on twitter. Herpderpipedia was retweeting them, honestly I worry about the human race. Google blacked out it's doodle and facebook did nothing

@stickymick There was something passed recently for the EU, dont remember the name, but Ireland pretty much said FU were not implementing it. Now the MPAA is suing them. These fvckers have some sense of entitlement.

The scariest part is megaupload was taken down without SOPA/PIPA. While there may have been infringing content as stickymick pointed out people around here used it for legitimate reasons and now all that content is unavailable. It's like renting a storage unit and a few of the storage units in the building have stolen goods in them and the government seizes the whole building.

The truth is the internet scares the government and more important the media moguls like Ruppert Murdock because one man can actually have a voice that can be heard by millions. Something like that can really upset the statuesque they fight so hard to maintain.
