Considering that there has been a growing opposition in Congress after the Blackout, the chances of it even passing is dropping fast... Still, the battle is far from over and I'm planning to make and fax a letter to one of the senators who support the bill that I strongly oppose it. It will be fun.

I myself think this whole SOPA thing is bullshit. I think it's unfair that our internet freedom was being threatened just because the selfish and greedy assholes in the movie and music industry want more money and decide to try to take the internet away from us instead of finding better ways to fight piracy.
But at this point they would be really stupid to pass this bulls**t bill considering how much protest there was against the bill this week.

Please consider the above.
I'll explain the specifics in a few days, and the consequences of the above (if the inditement is accepted as is by the US court system) which will prove to be rather... enlightening.
And this is before SOPA comes into play, boys and girls.

"dear lord of all the sites...." thats my initial reaction when I saw that this morning.... forgive me for my language but sh*t just got real, its official the US is declaring war on the internet, its sad that we have to suffer like this due to the greediness of some people, may hard lesson be learned from those greedy people once the people retaliate...

It's a commendable thought but poor execution.
I feel sorry for megaupload...I better illegally download a bunch of stuff I don't want just incase I end up wanting it, lol.

GOOD NEWS PEOPLE, We have one the battle!!

However we may have won the battle the WAR goes on but it is inevitable that this will continue, as being in the creative industry (or at least going into it) I can sympathize on some levels on how those people feel about piracy, piracy cannot be eradicated, that's just wishful thinking. So rather than finding useless means, such as this one. Use this issues such as piracy as a clutch on how you can SELL even better.
With that said its said we gained casualties such as Megaupload in the war, and although it was taken down WITHOUT Sopa in play, is something to think about.
For a victory theme I was going for Namco's Ace Combat 6's Liberation of Gracemaria but this felt of a more victory theme at the same time mocking one to the SOPA supporters ;) ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQnEw4PsBK0
