Hogwarts Live BlogTwo bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.

End Piracy, Not Liberty

I signed. I don't think they should be allowed to do this... Posting the link to HL FB, possibly my RL as well.
I have been Against this Since Day one. I suggest you support your local Anonymous Group and get involved. Find a IRC talk to people and join the ranks before we have no freedom to fight for left.
Can we petition to get a filtered name? :P
I already signed the petition this morning - as soon as I saw it... Censorship to this level is intolerable. It would create a new witch hunt - and all it would take would be for one person to post a piece of 'intellectual property' on a website and someone to decry it, just to get it shut down. That's too much power for one governing body, in my humble opinion, and stand wholeheartedly against these two pieces of oppressive legislation.
Anyone who wants to keep the internet free from unreasonable censorship should take action, and should stand with us and sign the petition. It's not Hollywood vs. the Internet - it's Hollywood vs. the People.
Was the name changing done by you lot in process, or done automatically by..something? 0.o
I am sure nearly everyone who uses the Internet is against this. The bill would affect the entire globe. I don't really think the government could risk going against so many people. Baah. Hopefully, and most probably, it shall never be passed.
What is this all a bout then
Money.
i hate this whole censoring thing its totally stupid and not worth it if they do this they will end up talking it back becuase a bunch of people are against this.
See, I told everyone about this bill a year ago
What a baby you are, Witchy.
They have held it till February due to public dis-appeal and have purposed OPEN instead, which is fairer.
Piracy? that's 100% no-no
I do not get what you mean there ok
I believe that they have ended SOPA, but I think PIPA is still very active. I sent a letter to my representative saying thank you for voting against SOPA. I dont know very much about PIPA but I do know that it could still harm the internet in many ways.
I think this is bad.
