That's a ploy to get re-elected, Obama wants to win the election so bad it's funny.
SOPA has had its hearing pushed back to February. Do not let anyone tell you this is over. PIPA is just as bad and is still being considered. This is not over yet.

Shit is going down all over the internet. Get ready for a whole bunch of sites to be temporarily shut down tomorrow (I think it's tomorrow) in protest lol
Yeah, its tomorrow. Jan. 18. Even Wikipedia is going dark. I was told Google was considering it, but I have no idea if that's true.

Twitter was considering it.
Imagine if Google did that - oh man, talk about dependence on a website and its effect when it would be blacked-out.

Well that's the idea, it'd cause a(nother) shitstorm and people would hate SOPA even more :3
I'll just play games all day.
Unless steam goes down- then I'd be fucked. xD
Newgrounds Blackout (http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1289798)
If all/most of major websites did something like that;
1. it would show how much SOPA is hated
2. society wouldn't be able to function

I love how on the kinect ads the kids use bing to search things, the only thing I'd ever bing is google.

True to some degree. Do you know how much work would be impede if Google was down? Even if they were only down for a few hours, not the whole day. And that's not just America. The entire world would take notice of it.

Everyone's homepage would disappear, chromebooks would.. die, chrome would throw a fit, and then some.
Society would continue to function.
Google is joining the protest, but is not going to blackout tomorrow. They'll have a link on their main page or something about it.

Have at it. http://christianscience.com/
However shouldn't we be educating those who are astray instead of condemning them? Food for thought...
Well...I am out of options.

There's only so much that will lead to. One will always follow the heart.
Though we kinda have an empty gun pointed at their head right now.

I don't really see where you can derive THAT much hatred from something that hasn't even started yet.
I say that the people who started this are misguided. let me grab from another post of mine...

SOPA's goal is censor everything, he censored himself as a form of comic irony.
