SOPA Dropped by Congress

[Gahars]

And hey, it seems that even more Congressmen have come out against these bills. These articles (Article 1, Article 2) provide more information on Congressmen who have renounced the bills and the significance of this protest as a whole.

As I'm sure many of you know, the Entertainment Software Agency (or ESA) is still a major proponent of the bill. The guys from Extra Credits have created a coalition to boycott E3 until they drop their support completely. If you're interested and want to know what you can do, here is the video.

SOPA aint been dropped, fucking rumours.

It wasn't a rumor, It was just someone failing to comprehend/misunertanding quotes and jumping to conclusions and then making an eroneous thread.

Does this help anyone? Does this explain it well?

Piracy is an issue, yes, but this is NOT the solution.

I like this explanation best.

On the plus side, if SOPA or PIPA go through it will stop once and for all the rick rollin trick as all sites with the video will have been shutdown. Rick's been infringed for to long now.

Lots of sites could go, see this link for details of potential SOPA infringments

Anyone else posting bullshit rickrolls like this in ANY topic again will be suspended without warning if I catch it before any other mods do.

Well, Think about this- SOPA would end all internet memes from the world as we know it.

Was meant as a joke, as the use of his video was a major infringment, he was even referenced in one of the news articles I read as he only ever got $12 for all the times it was played on youtube. Appologies n that.
