Thousands of websites came together on Wednesday in solidarity to protest SOPA and PIPA. The Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act are two pieces of legislation that are making their way through Congress and could change the internet for the worst. Over 7,000 websites went dark today in protest including Google, Wikipedia and Craigslist. According to the music and film industry, the legislation is needed to protect thousands of American jobs. Declan McCullagh, correspondent for CNET news, joins us to discuss the controversial legislation.

  • Most of the crap that comes out of Hollywood I wouldn't watch if you paid me.

  • Another case of the dirty powers that be trying to hoard even more power for themselves while letting the rest of us suffer as usual. There should be a revolution in this country where instead of voting for change, (we all know voting is useless anyway) the citizens actually invade washington d.c and physically capture, throw out and imprison some of these politicians & corporate followers for life, while executing others on the spot. I've had it with these criminals always getting their way.
