PLEASE DON'T CENSOR THE WEB!
   Some people depend on for their Businesses.
   It will be like shutting down the world. And that
   just isn't 'RIGHT'.

"You may have heard the House has shelved SOPA, and that President Obama has pledged not to pass it as-is, but the MPAA and SOPA-sponsor Lamar Smith (R-TX) are trying to brush off the protests as a stunt, and Smith has announced markup for the bill will resume in February. Meanwhile, PIPA is still present in the Senate, and it remains a threat."
