    The problem is that with big money such as Sony behind this, they may just be waiting for the right time to sneak it in another bill in the dead of night as a rider and pass it on into the secretive Conference Committee. Obama may be against this, but Romney or Gingrich could be in the White House in January.

    We have to keep up the pressure that this will not be tolerated.

    BTW I am so proud of the Internet recently <3

    Anyone know if this was done via a massive DoS (Denial of Service) attack or via other means?

    Just_Dave, was that a rhetorical question? :)
    Yes, through a DDoS attack.

    People! This is the age of nuclear weapons; terrorism; bird flu; school shootings; and the dreaded Marijuana! The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were written in a time long since past and should no longer apply to thwart our power. We, the Government, have a responsibility to protect you from yourself and from palmetto bugs (hate those!). Please understand that your rights slow us down and make our jobs harder. I hope you understand that we must ignore your so-called rights because what we actually do is beyond your comprehension, civilian.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    -Your Government with <3

    I believe the latest term for the populace is not "civilian", but..."mundane".

    SOPA and PIPA are currently dormant. OPEN has now been proposed.

    I've started reading it; it's pretty rough.
