About time they updated the list Twister posted. Seems like the blackout worked tenfold more than those expected and the main reason is because most don't truly understand what the bill (or internet for that matter) truly means. It's been this heavy amount of confusion in a lot of bills passed over the past few years (it's more exposed to the public now atleast), glad they can at least try to come up with something better if they back out of it. Wished those stepped up like this for the Defense Act (don't know the situation with that bill though now), but can't have it all I guess.

Yeah I agree. The problem is most people are just not informed enough. The only way to really know anything about this prior to this week was to do your own research read up and realize that other people were also like "wtf this is totally wrong" As leelee just mentioned I wish people would have payed attention to the defense act. I just think people were in denial and a little scared so they ignored it. Though to stay on topic.

Thank you though to whoever took time to watch the video and fill out the form. Power to the people.

Actually I think people were overinformed. I'm against the bill as much as anybody, but this SOPA stuff popping up everywhere has been getting a tad annoying. The fact that I find it here on A2E, of all places, means I literally cannot get away from it when I'm on the net. Sorry for being a party pooper. Power to the people, yeah, sign the petition. I did. Just annoyed to see it here too. Anyways, the bills not going to pass (it was never going to pass) this isn't the first time something like this has been brought up.

Well the reason it's "popping up everywhere" is because of how important it is, so maybe you should consider that before dismissing it off as annoying.

I did, I signed the thing. I'm just saying I didn't expect to find it here and I'm a bit surprised it would be brought up in a forum like this. It's annoying to see it everywhere though, I'm not saying it's wrong or anything. Just annoying.

yes we are a minor site, but we have what at least 30 active members. If we all do fill out the form. That is doing something, if everybody said "nah we just little what the point?" the blackout for us doesn't mean do not use the forum. It means fill out the form. It affects us. Something little can do a lot.
I like this i'm for the blackout.

Are you serious right now? Here of all places? Small forum I get that. The more people the better. Do no be so blind, and ignorant and say "ahh yeah it wont TeH PASS!! I TRUST, USA!,USA!" Because that is plain stupid. Never just assume. If it didn't pass and nobody really cared it would find a way into law somehow shit like this does happen all the time and shit does get passed and people do not know about...because it does not get blown up. I love that this is being blown up. People need to be aware. A peaceful online protest? It's awesome. The only way to protest in my eyes is to be peaceful. This is great. If you are annoyed then just ignore it, or did you want to wiki something? I am coming off maybe harsh but I take shit like this real serious, when somebody comes with a "ahh this is annoying that this is here!!" it should be here. This would affect most of us here. You stated you are for it. I do not see how it could be annoying then.

Considering that it has been delivering fair craze, I can vaguely see it not passing. Internet users would not let this go unanswered as it threatens free speech. It may be ambiguous to say that it could end the internet.

But I find it weird that if Obama could sign the NDAA bill, he would have no problem signing this. Though, Obama may see legitimate potential in from vetoing it. He might just delay it so it gets closer and closer to election day, then be a "hero" and veto it. That's my theory.

Politics are servants under corporatocracy. Corporations strongly want this bill to pass.

Really? Considering this forum is based around people using copyrighted material, would have thought this is a place the topic is very likely to turn up.

They may aswell just close the entire internet. Alot of places are going to have copyrighted materials, it's ridiculous really. They've shut down Megaupload aswell, of all places.

It was annoying for it to be blaring and popping up all over the place. I'm against the bill, and for people being aware of it (the bill has good intentions, but it's poorly worded and would never work in today's era). I was just saying I didn't enjoy constantly being beat over the head with the propaganda. I guess I just should've never opened my mouth in the first place. Free speech? Yeah, whatever you guys say.
