Internet FREEDOM

So, very big news this week in the Political world.

SOPA & PIPA in the final stages where the politicians were taking sides. While starting to enact this, the infamous group of hackers dubbed 'Anonymous' took vigilance to show them that we the people do not support it and will take force in doing so.

While many sided for the two bills on January 19th (yesterday), then seeing the retaliation of 'Anonymous' and shutting down multiple sites (DOJ, MPAA, Universal Music, FBI, RIAA, & Many more) re-visited their stance and changed sides. While there were some who were on the fence to see how it played out, quickly took the stance to oppose those bills.

So just minutes ago, SOPA was pulled by the bill sponsor Lamar Smith seeing the big picture that the American People will not stand for it and will be vigilante on this first action against our rights and taking away our freedoms.

Not only was SOPA Killed, Senators Chuck Shumer and Kirsten Gillibrand has pulled PIPA. After seeing the reaction, they did not kill the bill, but they are "reworking" it and "rewriting" it to where it does not violate our freedoms and rights. So the fight for Internet Freedom is far from over, as PIPA will be reworked and reintroduced...it just depends on how long it takes them to rethink it. With these two rewriting the PIPA Bill, it would not surprise me is they rework the SOPA Bill as well. Not only do I believe both bills are not 100% dead, I believe they may change a little bit of the bills, but there will still be restrictions on our freedom and will need to be killed again indefinitely.
