SOPA Blackout: 'Bill badly written & open to abuse'
Loading...
Uploaded by RussiaToday on Jan 18, 2012
Thousands of websites have joined the blackout in protest against the SOPA bill, as the controversial legislation is put to a vote in the US Congress. Participants range from giants like Wikipedia and Craigslist to tiny individual pages.
The world's biggest online encyclopedia went on strike for 24 hours at midnight East Coast Time. Other majors like Reddit opted for a 12-hour blackout.
The list of strikers includes filmmaker and campaigner Michael Moore, the popular game Minecraft, environment activists Greenpeace, the group blog BoingBoing and many others.

@Sethermieseter I don't think they actually delete the videos and music themselves. They probably allowed a 3rd party to do that. If they didn't and told the Mafiaa they would allow pirating, they would be sued to kingdom come. imo

I think there's more to this than piracy. My feeling is that the American government is hoping to bring some sort of swingeing censorship bill in by the back door. Before long, the whole world will think it's been moved to China.
