Also- SOPA isn't passing. Obama's against it, and it's unconstitutional. It was never GOING to pass. It's not so much the act of protesting as the MESSAGE behind protesting. To protest SOPA is so much more than just saying "no"- it's an act of defiance defeaning enough that even the most ignorant of non-tech people must recognize it. A symbol that we people of the nation of Internetopolis are not to be dicked around. Not by the Murican Governement, or anyone else. And also, that we people of the Internet are really, really protective of our pirated shit.
