SOPA

I think today I'll take a little time to talk about SOPA.

If you're reading this in it's original form on its original blog, then you're also affected by this bill and that alone should warrant you to google it and learn about it for yourself. For those of you who are lazy or don't want to search yourself, just take a look at a few of these:

Now this bill, in layman's terms, is that it will start to shut down and wreck any site that may have any form of piracy on it. Be it a link to a free CD, or stolen content like a picture. They (Being the US government) Can take it upon themselves to block off major parts of the website or the entire thing.

Now if you feel like acting, this is a good start:

This affects all of us, please offer your support.
