Members of the Senate are rushing for the exits in the wake of the Internet's unprecedented protest of the Protect IP Act (PIPA). At least 13 members of the upper chamber announced their opposition on Wednesday. In a particularly severe blow from Hollywood, at least five of the newly-opposed Senators were previously sponsors of the Protect IP Act.

I wasn't able to access the skyrim wiki and felt kinda peeved. The "I can't do my research paper" thing makes me laugh because you are using wikipedia for a paper, which is a big no-no in academia.

PIPA Support Collapses
A notable number of senators and representatives have withdrawn or are considering withdrawing their support for SOPA or PIPA. My representative has withdrawn his support.
Today, between Facebook, Twitter, Google, Wikipedia, Craigslist, Occupy, Anonymous, and many other groups and websites, we were able to accomplish something great. Granted, SOPA is still not GONE, only postponed, but I see this as a victory nonetheless.
I saw so many of my friends actually speak out about something they cared about today, and it was truly inspirational. Thank you, everyone. (:
The people United.

The outcry has been pretty astounding. Especially considering the NDAA passed with hardly a peep. Ah well, can't win em all I guess.
