Internet giants have taken to the pages of The New York Times to fight back against SOPA, the Internet censorship bill. Nine giants of the Internet — which include Google, eBAy, AOL, Facebook, Yahoo, Zynga, LinkedIn, Mozilla and Twitter, have placed a full-page ad in today’s New York Times as part of their efforts to fight back against the “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA) and the “PROTECT IP Act.” These pieces of legislation, which have backing from 15 Republican and 10 Democratic Congressmen, as well as the Motion Picture Association of America, a variety of Hollywood union organizations and even Master Card, would require companies and Internet service providers to block access to websites suspected copyright infringement. In essence, these bills, if they become law, would allow for broad Internet censorship. And companies like those listed above would be required by law to do the censoring. While those who wish for greater ways to fight copyright infringement say the legislation is good and necessary, opponents — which stretch far and wide — say the legislation will stifle innovation online by changing the entire nature of the Internet, and further warn that this could be the beginning of the “Great Firewall of America.”

Nice to see that they are actually fighting to see this not passed.

I signed up for the petition yesterday. These guys are really trying to censor the Internet. Well they've taken everything else I care for I'm not gonna let them take this.

Oh great. Seems like everyday I wake TPTB are working on something else to screw it's peeps over.
I really wish the OWS would turn violent soon.

And the pillars of the Internet have heard your call. They don't want it taken away either. They represent the power we have to fight back against the establishment. It's a beautiful thing just to be able to communicate with one another.
