Wikipedia Blackout In Anti-Piracy Law Protest

Well yay for the land of the free. Perhaps they should re-name it the land of the fee . . . And theyll probably manage to convince a majority of Americans that its for counter terrorism or something. American politics and lobbyists are a total disgrace to humanity.

This act is a stepping stone for internet censorship! .... Democracy my #$%$

What is really at stake here is who owns the Internet? This is big business trying to seize effective control of something that belongs to us all.

At the end of the day it's all about control. They don't care about the people they want to control us like mice and that's not just the US government - it's worldwide!

Yet another case of the Americans trying to impose their laws on the rest of the world via the back door.
Stay at home and sort out your own country and it's many problems before trying to "sort out" (mess up) everyone else.

SOPA - like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It will depend on how far the US authorities will over-interpret the rules. Good luck to Wikipedia.

Nice to see Turdoch talking bollocks again . As for paymasters he'd know all about that

How about using all this effort and money to stop predators on the net and get rid of child porn? Oh no lets go after those evil pirates who steal change from billionaires! What a load of utter sh%*! There are worse atrocities out there that need immediate attention and internet piracy is not one of them.

Rupert Murdoch - the `man` who allowed teenage girls mobile phones to be hacked.... and he goes on about theivery

Rupock Murdock is not just a crook, but a greedy crook, who violates other people's privacy yet speaks about anti piracy legislation.

Leave the internet alone. It belongs to everyone. There is enough politics in the world as it is.

Good for Wiki. Stopping piracy is just the excuse for passing a law that will allow big powerful corporations to have any site shut down on the pretence of protecting copyright and trademarks. Those politicians supporting SOPA are either corrupt, incompetent or have totalitarian tendencies.

sopa is going to ruin everything...

Way to stop SOPA.
Step One: Post links to "pirate" websites onto the websites of politicians supportive of SOPA.
Step Two: Demand that their websites be taken down according to the rules of SOPA.

typical yanks thinking they can rule everything. Hope this sopa thing fails....

If Murdoch is against it it must be good for the rest of us.

The only rights you have are the ones you are prepared to fight for...but don't complain to the American president or you will arrested by FBI in the UK because our government has sold us down the river....again

And I almost believed the USA stood for Democracy even taking it abroad or was it Democracy for oil.

Maybe they will finaly shut down Facebook and people can start living in the real world again.

Never before have people been able to make so much money in a short space of time and the money men are threatened. Not everyone who is rich is a bad person but there are clearly more things going on behind the scenes than meets the eye. Will we ever find out what is true and which are the conspiracy theories? No shock to see Murdoch's name there, he's surely a key player in the corruption of our society. How much money has he got, yet he still complains about piracy and thievery.
