Wikipedia to go dark tomorrow and be redirected to a banner explainning the bill. These should do good especially getting the news exposure on Yahoo! and television news outlets. The banner on here can do a little as well.

On the side note PIPA as a one word in polish language is a synonym for vagina

Ulisses31 · 01-18-2012, 07:16 AM

I´m in Europe, and I don´t like this SOPA or PIPA, first USA then EU, so lets stop it right now.

Oh and check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

That's why I am a big fan of non-digital material. I still don't have a e-Reader, I have a complete set of bot Britannica and World Book encyclopedias (sure, they're a bit dated), but they are tangible and not subject to big changes. I bet April must be pretty upset today! But I just hope that this forum doesn't shuts down like Ninja Turtles Network; much of the knowledge with regards to TMNT will be lost forever, since forums aren't as archivally dependable as other sites. The information age is basically another redistribution of business; stuff that's easy to get online for instance has dropped prices of music a bit, but has raised concert prices quite a bit. That's where Lionsgate, Viacom, and the like do to protect various information, and it's not easy in this era. Still, this is the most active move against piracy since the Internet became big nearly 20 years ago, and I would stay tuned for more serious consequences against piracy in the future.

Viacom is a supporter of SOPA. I'm not even American but if somthiong like this ever passes others will follow.

If SOPA comes back in one form or another, then unless my fears are proven wrong, I am genuinely considering only collecting pre Viacom TMNT.

SOPA is back... apparently shelving it wasn't a reality, this bill needs to be stopped and never pursued again, as well as pipa...

Yes it will. Similar laws are already in motion to pass in other parts of Europe. Spain just recently adopted a new piracy law. I don't have time to post more links but it is already starting to make it's way there. But remember a lot of sites are still housed in America and if SOPA passes those sites will not only be blocked for Americans but the rest of the world as well.

this is scarey as hell. I kind of wish youtube would do a blackout protest as well even if I would personaly be put out over it since I got there all the time.

Is anyone else having issues signing your name and information in the protest site? I keep doing it and trying to submit it but it won't let me.

*iris* · 01-18-2012, 01:29 PM

OMFG people. This is just a drop-by to thank you for supporting the SOPA/PIPA protest. I haven't been around in so long I almost forgot my username

, but dang I did not forget the 'Drome!

LEOTMNT · 01-18-2012, 04:46 PM

This is crazy! they want to take away our rights! cut off our communication, and freedom to express ourselfs!! i know about the bill for military impunity but internet censorship is brilliant. The Governments are EVIL. any one familiar with Anonymous? STOP THESE BILLS!

*MikeandRaph87* · 01-18-2012, 04:58 PM

There was a two minute segment on the 5'0 clock news edition on CBS. A sentator tried to explain they are attempting to stop hackers and pirates not take away privacy. I don't know if anyone actually bought it watching though.

rufus · 01-18-2012, 05:48 PM

http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/01/18/in...#disqus_thread Some senators have dropped thier support of it it seems.

*Katie* · 01-18-2012, 06:13 PM

And the reason the Senators and Congressmen will drop their support is because their constituants (that's you folks) keep contacting them and voicing their concerns about this bill.

I can't stress this enough. Here in the United States, if you are over 18 YOU SHOULD BE REGISTERED TO VOTE. AND VOTING! If you aren't you're letting morons like the people who want this bill to pass run your life. If you think one person doesn't matter.....just one person at a time called these Senators. There was one person who was the swaing number.

Don't just sit back and think that you don't matter or have no say in things. Complacency just means you are letting someone else make the rules you live by. SPEAK UP. HAVE A VOICE. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES. Email them! Let them know what you think!

*MikeandRaph87* · 01-18-2012, 06:17 PM

The most effective way is to write in. Handwirrten or typed it does not matter. Its more meaningful and is more likely to be seen by a senator/congressman instead of just a secretary with a generic response from what my local House Rep. told me. So it may cost you a stamp but its worth it if you want your voice heard.
