We at News Hounds know as well as anyone what it's like to have your work pirated on the internet. But Congress' so-called solution not only creates more problems, it threatens the very freedom and openness that we cherish in the internet. Wikipedia, which has blacked out for the day, has more. Please join us in speaking out!

I take it you went to Hamilton Burger’s site and saw him doing it, Yakki? I went to see if he had a take on SOPA, and he was making excuses to use that on Ellen.
Retarded didn’t even begin to cover it.

Quick bit of snark- I like how many political blogs and sites that lean left or stay in the center took the day off, for the most part, only posting a couple pieces that got in last night…
While RW sites are not only running normally, but they’re referring to people who are participating in the blackout strike by putting the word “Sharia” in front of their name and talking about how they “need to be censored off the web.”
Kinda shows you where their priorities really are. Also busts the ones who pretended to be against this bill.
Ok, snark over.
