I would say Google it but that wouldn't really contribute much. The US government is trying to have the same kind of control and censorship on the internet that China has. In a nutshell. But there are ALOT of problems that will arise if that bill passes. That's something you can Google.

...I'm a bit... bad with being up to date.
Look up at the video links I posted above - they'll give you all you need to know. The Library of Congress website should also have PDF of the bill if you want to read the raw material, but I think these explain it pretty well. These videos shouldn't be region locked.

One final vid link... Stephen Colbert had a take as well and uses a lot of irony - even more than Beck in the earlier link.

Talk about irony...a day after the 'Internet Blackout', the media-uploading site MegaUpload is shut down by U.S. Federal Government...not the best link below, but hey...it's something.

If you can see me, welcome to the HB Club: RadioSEGA Branch! Take a seat, and hopefully you'll be released soon. Or maybe you'll rot here forever, who knows?

None of the people arrested in the Megaupload problem are actually American.

Then it'd suck for them that they predicted the end of something that didn't exist yet and not the fact the Spanish were going to slaughter them all!

I was sent this link and found it an interesting read, after the internet blackout that happened, it would be interesting to see if the government would see what would happen if people followed this over march
