The Evil Masterminds of RIAA and MPAA are trying again, but on a Global scale this time.
Today, the Internet learned of ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. Like SOPA and PIPA, it does not define what is legal and/or illegal. ACTA, if passed, will destroy Net Neutrality and turn the Internet into George Orwell's book, 1984.
You can find more information about ACTA, and how to stop it: here
We must rise up again, Internet and Stop ACTA, before the thugs at RIAA and MPAA destroy the Internet.

We did it!
Hello World. Generic Guy here with amazing news!
The entire world is leaping with joy today, as the SOPA and PIPA talks have halted indefinitely. We did it! The Internet has showed that we shall not bend to freedom restricting bills.
To sweeten this pie, Mr. Dodd,The Emperor CEO of MPAA, has been restricted from lobbying in Congress until 2013. You can read the full article here.
Despite all the joy around the world, we did lose Megaupload. I'm not sure if Anon is fighting to get it back, or what, but We have to seek the alternatives:
Mediafire
Rapidshare
youSendit
Minus
Dropbox

Congrats, Internet, SOPA and PIPA are finished!
We'll have to remain wary of Dodd, however, I doubt this is the curtain call for him...

Return of the Legion
Generic Guy here, internet, with an update.
Since Megaupload went down earlier today, several SOPA supporter websites have also gone offline:
-DoJ.com
-RIAA.com
-RIAA.org
-Universal Music Group
-MPAA.org
-United States Copyright Office
-EMI
-HADOPI
-Federal Bureau of Investigation
Anonymous, the (in)famous Hack-activists, have launched the largest coordinated attack, possibly, in it's History; Code-named Operation Payback.
Anonymous has shown today that they still hold supremacy over the internet, and if SOPA and PIPA supporters want to take down websites, Anonymous has given them a piece of their own medicine.

The Empire Strikes Back
Hello web, Tis the Generic Guy here, bringing you the news!
The 13th most popular website on the Internet, Megaupload, has been shut down byThe Empire The Federal Government, due to piracy. Yep, you read that right folks, The Government is shutting down websites, due to piracy.
Funny, a day after the largest protest in the Internet's history, one of the most popular file sharing websites is shut down due to "piracy".
Looks like the Government is enacting SOPA and PIPA, even without the bill passing. I though that this was the United States, not North Korea.
In completely unrelated news, RIAA.com, RIAA.org and MPAA.org have seem to suddenly and mysteriously go down, only a few hours after Megaupload's closing. Fear not internet, my crack team of Elves are working tirelessly on bringing in the news.

The Internet Blackout of 2012
Hello, Hello, People of the Internet. It is I, the Generic Guy!
I, like so many of you, participated in The Internet Blackout of 2012. This truly was a historic event; this was the day that we showed Congress, that we showed the Big Media supporting the bill, Hell, we showed the World that we will not roll over and submit to SOPA and PIPA, simply because Congress and the Senate demand it.
But this fight is not over. PIPA goes before a vote on January 24th. We cannot let it pass. If PIPA passes, then all this work--all this amazing work--that we have done, would have been for naught. If PIPA passes, it would give the Government the momentum to pass SOPA, and if that happens, we can kiss the internet goodbye.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Internet, Lovers of Freedom, Liberty and Knowledge; we are fighting a war. A war for the Freedom of the Internet, a war for the very survival of the Internet, a War that if not won, it would destroy EVERYTHING we know and love. This is a war I plan on winning.
We must keep the pressure on. Continue to Tweet, Facebook, Reddit; keep talking about this. Talk to your friends and family, keep calling your Congressmen/women. Do everything you possibly can to continue to show your support for a Free Internet.
We hit SOPA and PIPA hard during the Blackout, but they are not down. They are hiding in the closet, like boogeymen, waiting for us to relax our position and fall asleep. We must not rest, not until SOPA and PIPA are buried 6 feet below!
This is war. And this is a war we will win!

The Darkest Day
Hello, People of the Internet, It is I, The Generic Guy (Heh, that rhymed xP)
As all of you know, SOPA and PIPA are two Bills, that if passed will destroy all "rouge" sites and turn the Internet into a Corporate Bitch. Naturally, People are upset about it.
Wikipedia, the largest and most popular free encyclopedia on the internet, will protest by blacking out "the English-language Wikipedia for 24 hours, worldwide, beginning at 05:00 UTC on Wednesday, January 18." You can find more about that here
Many other big time people are against the Damn SOPA and PIPA bills. You can find more information here
Come on people! Join in the protests, Call you Congressman/woman, and tell them that we, the People of the Internet, will not allow such bills to be passed!
