Wikipedia's Anti-SOPA/PIPA Blackout

[Wedge]

I found a work-around actually, haha. Pressing Esc to stop loading will actually prevent the blackout page from redirecting (though you need to be quick and it might prevent a few images from loading/whatnot), I am now happily surfing Wikipedia once again.

I also work online developing software for an Australian company that had me sign an Non-disclosure agreement over the code of their system. Why? Even though I wrote a lot of code, it's not my product. I am an employee of that company and they are buying my code as a contractor for use in their product. The product is their Intellectual Property, and I am an employee that develops it.


This is an extremely important concept.

Except nobody would steal your code. That's why you're only payed $9/hour to write it.

aggressively going after any material that might potentially violate copyright, including small clips of tv shows, covers of songs, and the fact that google crawls sites with copyrighted material won't do anything?
meanwhile, you can just load up tor, check the hidden wiki for the pirate bay's new hosting site on tor, and get your pirated stuff from there. this won't do anything to stop piracy, all it will do is hinder legitimate websites

.onion sites are p well protected against being taken down or tracked
even if all the people hosting tor in the us are arrested, there's still other countries

They're not going to attack every single site that has illegal content, this is only to get at the ones they can't touch yet. + All the handicaps complaining about youtube don't realize that MPAA and what not already has their loving greedy fingers in it.
