It's basically the bill(s) Big Content paid our corrupt, tech-illiterate congress to write. Inhibits the free flow of information by requiring websites to self-censor (due to the guilty before proven innocent language of the bill); makes the internet less secure by essentially outlawing DNSSEC and TOR; wont actually stop piracy, because illegal sites can be hosted out of the US and get new domains at ready, DNS is only a small part of how the internet actually works. Basically, if you support this bill, you're either technologically ignorant or willfully malicious. The DMCA is good enough for combating piracy. |

Not sure if there is something for the iFolks, but for you Android toting RHers, you can use this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=c ... pa.android to help boycott products that support SOPA. |

I think SOPA is dead. And PIPA is about to die. |

Not sure how much truth there is to this but I saw it posted elsewhere. |

A tweet today: Andy Daglas wrote: The Wikipedia blackout presents a horrifying picture of a world with no knowledge. So does the Fox News website, which is running normally.

Sometimes when I see ridiculous legislation like this, I want it to pass and then get overturned quickly so that we the people have something to really get riled up about and take action against. When it gets voted down in Congress, it just goes onto the heap with all the other garbage that slimy politicians tried to pass and is ultimately forgotten. This kind of stuff should be preserved indefinitely. The politicians who support it should have their noses rubbed in it over and over and over again. When people are trying to treat you (and me) like fools, they deserve to be reminded forever and ever until they acknowledge, clearly, that what they did is wrong. Harp harp harp, it's more effective than people think. lol Nooobieee |

One inaccuracy of that video is that CNet wasn't owned by CBS Interactive until 2008. Although, It's unclear how long the cross-pollination of the board was. |
