Say no to SOPA! (5)
alonerdo: American friends, you who have the power to directly oppose this,
say no to SOPA.
say no to SOPA.
The problem is we peons in America don't have the power. No matter how many voice their opposition it will still pass. That's because money is more important to a politician than taking a stand for what is right.

Reddit joins anti-SOPA internet blackout
Over 100,000 people are part of the Sophos community on Facebook. Why not join us on Facebook to find out about the latest security threats. Don't show me this again
W
by Lisa Vaas on January 13, 2012 Instead of the normal (as self-described) "glorious, user-curated chaos" that is social news site Reddit, users on January 18th will instead find despair/nothingness/an urge to take action as the site joins the anti-SOPA internet blackout.
From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST, Reddit will display "a simple message" about how the PIPA/SOPA legislation will shut down sites like Reddit, along with a link to resources to learn more and suggested ways to take action, according to a post the site put up on Tuesday.
The blackout will coincide with that day’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on internet security, intellectual property and economic growth - a hearing that Reddit will feature in a live video stream.
The legislation is scheduled for a vote in the US Senate (that would be the PIPA version - i.e., Protect IP Act of 2011) on Jan. 24.
The PIPA/SOPA legislation would allow the Department of Justice to demand that search engines, social networking sites and domain name services block access to sites that are deemed to be "dedicated to infringing activities".
In some cases, action could be taken to block websites without first allowing alleged infringers to defend themselves in court.

When you see two enemies, such as Youtube and ANONYMOUS, join forces to fight side by side, against SOPA is a matter for concern!
Americans, maybe you, will not affect the SOPA, if approved, but will your taxes, which oprten resources to implement this, and forget the internet as you have known, until now, no more pictures, no more videos, and no more copy and paste!
