Wikipedia/Craig's List Heebahabba
Tried to Wiki something this morning, then I was checkin' up on an endtable I'm selling... same message on both; interesting.
I figure this falls under "news".

That's definitely a good way to make the public aware.

Hrm.. some industry sites are taking part in the strike as well; it's definitely a legitimate concern.

It's a huge concern. A tip of my hag to Wikipedia, Craigs List, and any other company looking to make the public aware of this potential swindle of public freedom!

The SOPA is an invasion of our privacy. I can understand wanting to shut down or block the foreign piracy sites. But punishing Americans for foreign piracy is the wrong way to go about it.
They should just hire hackers to hack their sites or download worms and virus' on them. Maybe, even make the internet regional.

SOPA's just the House version. The Senate has their own variant, PIPA, which is only slightly less awful. Either way, this is bad.
