Thoughts?

My life is over...I'll have to reference from misinformed journos for the day...

Heard about this on the news, I can't understand (can't be bothered to read) why they have not shut the USA site?

Not sure uk citizens will care that much about the sites temporary closure or the bills trying to be passed tbh

Wikipedia is redirecting to the blackout page. If you're using a script blocker in your browser (eg noscript in firefox) it is still quite visible.

The subject is a worth a read because it will affect you too.

Going by the interview i heard on radio 4 yesterday, a complete overreaction by wikipedia and the like.

Same as the EU walking all over the biking laws, every little change is part of a massive effort at control.

The wikipedia guy kept banging on about his cars and bank robbers analogy and the woman was saying stuff like, clearly you've nkt read the legislation, its all to so with piracy and illegal copyright, the mass production on counterfeit chinese drugs etc wikipedia won't be affected, but he was having none of it.
