SOPA? No Thank You

I'll admit I'm not an expert on SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and have not been following it as closely as I should, but from the judging from the surface of this matter and general details and info collected from around the internet, I sense that this is not going to be good for the internet.

It's good to fight piracy, but when you want to place general, and often over-reaching rules, a lot of innocent people are going to be caught in the crossfire.

Rather than reading a post about SOPA, watch this video explaining a similar bill trying to pass called the Protect IP Act.

Or if videos aren't your thing, how about this spiffy animated gif courtesy of TheOatmeal?
