I was so excited to wake up this morning and see if Wikipedia and Google were really going to do something awesome to show that they are against SOPA. And they did not dissapoint. Wikipedia is blacked out for 24 hours and Google did the above with their logo.
Here is a good article to show you why SOPA is a bad idea.
I can not believe that our US Chamber of Commerce and a Texas Republican would think this is a good idea. Censorship in any form is a very scary thing, and furthermore why in the world does the US government think we have the money to fight this battle.
I just read an absolutely awesome post about this from Pot Pie Girl that makes it easy to understand why this is a bad idea.
Here is an excerpt from her post.
It really seems to come down to the ones who are being pirated are in support and the ones that might be held accountable and liable for said piracy are opposed.
Meanwhile, the actual offender is not even mentioned.
Suffering from Piracy? Your line is to the Left marked “Supporters”.
Going to Be Held Accountable for Policing SOPA? Your line is to the right marked “Opposition”.
Are you the one DOING the piracy? You’re free to go. We’re not gonna bother with you – your pockets aren’t deep enough.
