SOPA BLACKOUT

Well, as many of you probably now know, our government has purposed a bill that would constrict our freedom on the web. It is supposed to stop online piracy (hence the name 'Stop Online Piracy Act'). Now, I have nothing against stopping piracy, but this seems to go beyond that. If passed, this bill would allow our govt. to sue and take down sites, domain names, and any other data that they don't approve of. All well and good, right? Wrong. Think about it. They could delete everything you've worked for with a couple clicks and some false accusations. Just take a look at the bill itself. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204555904577167040770940440.html
Kinda sketchy, right?
Besides, take this into consideration. PIRATES ARE PIRATES. People will always find their ways around things like this. ESPECIALLY if they have no respect for laws in the first place.

We have to protect our freedom of speech.
