Come on now lets look at the upsides of sopa

IT could lead to the economic growth of the internet thats been keep many country's afloat (and really helping the us) stopping. Lots of countries with a really restricted internet have organizations that fight that strict control and if we support this bill DD might get his wish to be a apocalyptic freedom fighter!

Of we can vote the assholes out of office take your pick.

Just read this status on Facebook

"After considering it for a while, I've decided that Master Toons WILL be taking part in the blackout against SOPA tomorrow. If internet censorship is passed then it will obviously affect Master Toons and could lead to the site, and many others, getting shut down. The more people we inform, the more support we can get to oppose these ridiculous laws.

So if you haven't already, make sure you catch up on all the newest episodes currently up!"

Our (well my) favorite site for watching shows online is taking part in the blackout.

Good. I throw my support behind these black outs 100%.

Anybody who supports this stupid bill should think: This will make ALL FANSITES shut down. Not only all boards and things, but tumblr, livejournal, fanfiction.net, deviantart ect. Because we are using the characters for stories and art, even though we aren't making anything from it, but we are using the trademarked/copyrighted characters. However you say it.

I'm behind the blackouts 110%, even if it means I may have to go a day without anything to do.
