Hey guys,

I'm sure you've all seen the blackouts that are happening all over the web for SOPA/PIPA. Hasn't been any discussion on it here, so I figured I'd provide some links to access information about the bills and what they're attempting to do in the US and internationally. Enjoy!




The actual bills themselves:

Senators stances on the subject: http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/

International ACTA stuff that's doing essentially the same thing:

Yeah I'm hoping that it stops. Lobbyism=corporate owned government. Hence, these types of bills.
