What's your thoughts of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)? If you don't know what it is, give it a quick search.
I hope it does not become law. =/

sounds like bullsh*t to me, it would definately give the Government power that it should not have, and I'm certain that this act will be completely abused, and will, at least to me, make America no longer a free country, this act is bringing us closer to china, dont we fight communism? don't we hate it? so why are we passing an act that will turn us into a communist country? If this act does become law, then its game over for America.

We may as well invent an underground or outer space colony that's free from this law should it pass.

So as a short update, the Wikimedia foundation and many other notable internet groups, are planning an internet blackout day this Wednesday. If you're so inclined, do participate! I know I will by disconnecting my cable modem, and locking up my phone for the entire time.

I think your misunderstanding the point of this blackout. the point of this blackout is to show people what the internet would be like with SOPA in effect. locking up your phone and disconnecting your internet wont contribute anything, now if you ran a website of some kind, then shutting that down for a day will be contributing.

I do understand the point, and I do understand that what I plan to do will contribute (almost) nothing. =P I don't own a website (closest thing I have to owning one is my social media accounts) so the least I could do is experience a world without a free internet for a day, and taunt people to go on Wikipedia to see their reaction and concern.
