    I've noticed ALOT of sites have shut down temporarily as a protest to SOPA. Wow...

    Trust me I believe they're temporary.

    Indeed. The group who have proposed SOPA claim to be against internet piracy, yet they are responsible for most piracy that occurs... In fact they distribute pirating software, and then sue people for using it.

    But on the topic of closing sites, yes it is temporary. For example, wikipedia was meant to be closed for about 24 hours.

    Let's list what sites are closed...

    All owned by Mojang.
    MS Paint Adventures.

    Can't play Minecraft.
    Can't read XKCD and a whole lot of other webcomics.
    I am bored now.

    Facebook for me is working :P (au)
    Silly SOPA... It will get rid of sites such as facebook, youtube and twitter (and other major sites)
