zombiedalmations Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thought i'd raise some awareness of this billfrom Wikipedia:The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), also known as House Bill 3261 or H.R. 3261, is a bill that was introduced in the United States House of Representatives on October 26, 2011, by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors. The bill, if made law, would expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods.[2] Presented to the House Judiciary Committee, it builds on the similar PRO-IP Act of 2008 and the corresponding Senate bill, the PROTECT IP Act.Here's a video from TotalHalibut explaining why you should NOT support this bill EDIT:apparently, Dusty has already started a topic on this. Mods, do what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Krackle Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm glad I didn't have to make this thread. I've been calling my House rep, spamming her facebook, signing some petitions, blah blah blah. This is nuts, bronies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagination Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 You guys should start focusing on PIPA more than SOPA, seeing as SOPA (if what I heard from multiple sources is correct anyway) is pretty much going to be tabled indefinitely.

Guest EoLPinkie Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Bzzzzzzt This is Commander Pinkie reporting in! According to a few different radio sources, the big blustery displays of Internet power worked! PIPA is falling off the stage, so I should go up and sing for the happy weblings! I don't think it's gone for good, but its current form is likely down and out. Preparing the Super Modified Ionic Laughing Emission (S.M.I.L.E.) Cannon!
