Google says that over 7 million signatures have been gathered for the petition. Mine is one of them!

Wikipedia is open now. Thank goodness. The black looked lovely, but, being a Wiki-research junkie, I was still frustrated.

As it should be. There's no way this could go through with so many people against it.

It isn't going through. It was repealed. So I've heard anyway.

... didn't they already try this a few years back??? I mean not this drastic, but I do recall an uproar similar to this a while back... hm...
Also, a classmate of mine was one of the original people that came up with the blackout idea, I thought that it was a really good idea, I think DeviantArt and Reddit where down with wikipedia, I don't know though, cause I was away from the internet XD
Still, it's kind of disturbing how people are trying to force censorship, I'm with Violette, SOPA and PIPA policy should just rot. Cause isn't this censorship kinda like communism, I mean when you think about it.

That's one of the main arguments. A lot of people think that this bill is in violation of the first amendment.
