A lot of you guys probably haven't been following this as it's not being talked about in the national media ( mediamatters.org/blog/201201050008 ) You can even click the link that our board host has at the top of the page to get some info on these heinous bills. I have a bunch of links of my site about SOPA/PIPA/ACTA and what you can do to contact your representative to help stop it. These bills will crush creativity and the spread of info on the internet. Startups will have massive issues getting off the ground. This is terrible for our economy. www.pilecast.net/2012/01/help-stop-sopa-pipa-and-acta-educate-yourself-on-it/It's going to be an interesting few months for sure. Until this is canned, the internet as we know it is in danger.

As I am not a proponent of censorship and hold our right to free speech in great esteem. But is it not the misguided effort of this bill to halt the piracy of our protected information by the Chinese government. And if so, why not just tell the Chinese "%^* you " we are not paying back our debt until you stop under mining our government and corporations. Sorry about ranting about politics but last I checked we are still the greatest nation on this planet, on occasions we should act like it.
