You have too many freedom-hating people over there, yer ****ed. You'll
never see what happened in the US in the last few months from those of
us opposing SOPA/PIPA.

I called, wrote, and screamed at my representatives. I wrote the White
House. I encouraged all my friends to do the same. With all of our
collective work, especially 'Big' sites like Wikipedia for example, we
have made the issue so toxic for politicians, they won't think of
touching it (especially in an election year).

Underlying all that, the part that was not spoken, is much worse for the
government. People are angry, it won't take too much for the citizens to
reclaim their rightful say in government. By any means necessary.
