It's been a while on the topic, but I'd pay just a little attention for a couple of reasons.
Not sure what to say here - the article topic is slightly misleading, because of the fact that they kicked up the hearings for another 3 days (Until the 21st.)
So where are those stalwart defenders, exactly...?

...Well, it seems we might all have to say farewell? What do you guys think? Everyone around me is pretty much kissing the internet goodbye.

Just as a heads up, try going to (US) wikipedia today.
The leagues of students working off Wikipedia will be crying.

Apparently Representative Lamar Smith would like to point out that simply put, he doesn't care about the protests.
For those people who 'Believe everything will come out in the wash', I have one question to ask of you.
... Are you REALLY REALLY SURE?
I dunno about you, but I'd be just a little uncomfortable when some people are willing to literally, during some big movements (namely Google, Wikipedia and a whole bunch of other people getting in on saying how stupid it is) to put up the middle finger and go 'So what you going to do about it?'
(Yes, writing this hurts. But a day of pain is trivial compared to this.)

i wish the states had a similar system we have in Switzerland
If the government makes a new law people don't want to accept you have 100 days to interveine. If you do so you have a few months time to collect 50'000 signatures (currently about 5 million people are entitled to vote). And if you are able to gather the required number of signatures, a public vote is forced whether the law will really come into effect or not
so i don't think something like the SOPA would have a chance here (in fact the government recently said themselves "there is no need for more anti piracy laws").
i wish the USA had a democratic system nearly as good as they want to make the world believe... (which includes more than just 2 major parties, not everything is black and white)
