Author Topic: Protest SOPA [SOPA AND PIPA WERE DROPPED!]  (Read 21408 times)

SOPA and PIPA support is already being dropped by a handful of Congresspeople/Senators. It's not over by a long shot, but it's coming along for sure.

Shoot, I was looking forward to a dystopian future...


I've finally changed my steam stuff for protesty stuff.


Please, help out by not just posting on blockland forums. Find other free blogs that you can post your opinions or simply email or call your representative and tell him you don't support SOPA or PIPA.

Don't crosspost.

Of course it was removed right as I hit post


I don't mind if sopa passes.

Shoot, I was looking forward to a dystopian future...
So much for getting a vulcan gun folding out of my future bionic arm...

Thank you.

The Wikipedia blackout is over — and you have spoken.

More than 162 million people saw our message asking if you could imagine a world without free knowledge. You said no. You shut down Congress’s switchboards. You melted their servers. From all around the world your messages dominated social media and the news. Millions of people have spoken in defense of a free and open Internet.

For us, this is not about money. It’s about knowledge. As a community of authors, editors, photographers, and programmers, we invite everyone to share and build upon our work.

Our mission is to empower and engage people to document the sum of all human knowledge, and to make it available to all humanity, in perpetuity. We care passionately about the rights of authors, because we are authors.

SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows. What’s happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you've directed your energy to protecting it.

We’re turning the lights back on. Help us keep them shining brightly.

My friend was going to buy minecraft yesterday but the site was down.



I kind of want SOPA to pass to see how the US will fare against a bunch of trolls and Anonymous.
