Not that I have any animus towards America: it just seemed right. I wonder what happened to online services in Congress (let alone the White House)?

I wasn't around all day, so didn't see your comments until now. Also, for some reason, our blog is funky about dates and times. Sorry, Brian!

It is ineffably... _liberal_ to complain about a problem, and then bitterly criticize any effective means of resolving it. Piracy isn't the problem, it's the *solution*.

I first heard about this when some video game companies initially supported SOPA, then they all backed out when they realized they wouldn't profit from it. Corporate America is just gettin out of hand now. Your seriously gonna tell me people sat in a room and decided that they should have the right to control what is said on the internet? And this makes us different from third world countries how? Now you see why I want to move to Canada. Another way for the Government to step in and try to garner money for the fat cats.
