I guess everyone on allegro who uses wikipedia, including myself will not have the ability to reference their site on wednesday. Its really sad because every troll loves wikipedias ease of entry into the world wide web shites.

SOPA was shelved off. PIPA is still up for voting tho, that's the problem. I'm gonna blackout myself. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Wikipedia is a bunch of plagiarized content. It should permanently be shut down. Hopefully that's what SOPA is eventually able to do. Once Wikipedia is taken out, the economy will recover mostly due to door-to-door encyclopedia salesmen getting their old jobs back. |

I loved the Encyclopedia Britannica when I was a wee laddie, but it didn't have hyperlinks! You actually had to grab the relevant volume off the shelf and muck about with alphabetical order to find the article! They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Lamar Smith said:
“It is ironic that a website dedicated to providing information is spreading misinformation about the Stop Online Piracy Act," Smith said in a statement on Tuesday. "The bill will not harm Wikipedia, domestic blogs or social networking sites. This publicity stunt does a disservice to its users by promoting fear instead of facts. Perhaps during the blackout, Internet users can look elsewhere for an accurate definition of online piracy." A so-called “blackout” is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one, designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals. It is our hope that the White House and the Congress will call on those who intend to stage this “blackout” to stop the hyperbole and PR stunts and engage in meaningful efforts to combat piracy.” Protect teh american jobz!

Mr. Smith's summary is correct. SOPA shuts down foreign sites that are breaking domestic laws. If you don't want your site to get shut down by SOPA, then:
I disagree with DNS hijacking because it's both dangerous and ineffective. Unfortunately, the only other solution is a national firewall. When SOPA fails, I think that will be the next step. All major ISPs will be required to filter out traffic to certain IPs. That will be more effective than DNS fiddling. |

Yeah, yeah, another "explanation" of how some law is going to make things all better, but it's so loose that it can be twisted into whatever the powers that be want. Like the RICO law, meant to stop organized crime, but it winds up enabling police departments to confiscate a million dollar yacht because some local acting as a crewman has a joint in his pocket, and the profits from selling the yacht go toward remodeling the police chiefs office. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

If you want to invoke the slippery slope, then that's fine. It's probably relevant. However, that doesn't mean people should keep spreading FUD and misinformation about what SOPA is. |

That's pretty much the reason behind the blackout. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

You can still access Wikipedia by refreshing the desired page & stopping page load.

I have no trouble accessing Wikipedia whether noscript is enabled or not. What time zone is it in? Reddit has a countdown timer on the main page for when they're going down, 3 hr 18 min as I write this. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |
