SOPA/PIPA

I can't believe how little people know about SOPA/PIPA and how few even know what they are. These two bills are attempts made by congress to censor the interent, a place where revolutions started, corprations began, and connections were created. If SOPA/PIPA were passed, all of the possiblities created by the interent would be tarnished and the internet would become a very unfriendly place. These Bills are worded in such a way so that they can be abused easily and the main focus, internet pirates, wouldn't even be scathed by it. The torrenting website, the Pirate Bay has even pubicly announced that SOPA/PIPA wouldn't stop them. The only thing these Bills are hurting are our american freedoms and the internet as a whole. Websites such as youtube, google, reddit, facebook, tumblr, twitter, would all be affected negitivly by this bill. I plan when i get home today to write to our senators, who support these bills, and try to change their minds on such a corrupted bill.

I think more and more people are noticing because google modified their logo for today, and english wikipedia is closed for the day to get people's attention. Hopefully more people will notice!
