Pipa sopa

Has anyone looked at these bills? Tomorrow, multiple sites are going black in protest.

this is very, very scary. I cannot believe the degree of erosion our freedoms have suffered in the past decade.

Good for them to try and make a stand. I think it will have little effect but will make these facts known to more people now.

Oh, so that's what's going on.

I opened up google this morning and they have a black stripe across their logo.

Hmmmmmm, interesting. And certainly a cause for concern.

I do hope everyone is taking note of the bi-partisan nature of this issue.
Kind of reinforces Lou Dobbs, "Two wings of the same bird." statement.

Here are some yea's and nay's involved. Seeing four in TN supporting it makes me sick. I thought more of TN than that. Who all said yea in your state?

It brings to mind Sen. Ted Stevens referring to the Internet as a "series of tubes." We have a bunch of technologically incompetent clowns voting on such issues depending on how much campaign money they can collect from the MPAA.

This a scary one. Hard to imagine that it could happen in America.
