i heard it from a friend just now.. you can look it up on yahoo, its about that SOPA. i also heard alot of sites are shutting down tonight, because they are going on strike, what is your thoughts? do you really think this law will be passed? i think it will be trashed because of the outcomes

No offense to america, but arent they going at this too seriously. Does the goverment there not realise this is going to affect the whole world from closing down a site. They are not taking into consideration other countries veiws on this while when you shut down one website it means it is not accessible for the rest of the world. My dad has explained most of this to me. He says there will be ways round it anyway. From the way they are doing he has already found a flaw. Also iv heard most of the people suggesting this 'SOPA' are lod people that have hardly any experience with computers. They have no experience wit them and realise how this will affect the future generation aswell as our own?

I don't use wiki often so the shut down doesn't really affect me. Seeing how I'll just be in school then when I get home I'll be doing something else. But still if they pass this Bill so many wrong things will happen..
It might not just be Wiki I saw on tv about 2 days or so ago that Google might do the same but they were still thinking about it.

Opponents include Google, Yahoo!, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, LinkedIn, eBay, Mozilla Corporation, Roblox, Reddit, the Wikimedia Foundation, and human rights organizations such as Reporters Without Borders,the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the ACLU, and Human Rights Watch.

If it gets passed, a lot of people won't be happy..
