                  SOPA looks like it may be on the ropes, but wiki is still going through with the blackout because of PIPA. It's too bad that the other sites that were thinking about a blackout (Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, etc) didn't join in. The "nuclear option" would have made a heck of an impact.

                    ^The editors on Wikipedia aren't too happy about the blackout.

                            I guess it's OK to make fun of SOPA & PIPA if you understand what it's all about (and most Tech's do)...but...alot of average, everyday users don't...and they should.

                            For those that are curious to know what this is all about:

                            Don't Censor the Web

                            For those interested in signing a petition:

                            Tell Congress: Don’t censor the Web

                            I highly suggest that folks thouroughly read up on SOPA & PIPA before commenting...and no...it's not dead:

                            So is SOPA Dead? Not Exactly

                            ...I'd also like to add this FAQ about SOPA:

                            How SOPA would affect YOU - FAQ

                              Thanks. It's not that I don't take it seriously, or pay attention to the news, but we have enough humility to understand that congress won't notice if the Mego Museum goes dark.
