Internet Blackout of the Day: The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun.
Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the House and Senate are conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet.
Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward.
The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences.
If you absolutely must scab, here are a few useful links:

my name is Corbin and I'm from North Carolina. I currently go to school at Columbia College in Chicago and I'm Majoring in Music Composition. I LOVE music and I love friends' suggestions to music. Honestly, I'm just another being on this globe trying to make sense of the environment around me. I'm a huge lover and advocate of expression through art by any means, and most importantly I'm HUGE advocate of being who you are; never let anyone say you can't. lol on a less intense note, I promise I'm friendly guy actually haha most of my friends say that my love and trust of people will be my down fall but hey I can't help it :=] I'm sorta kinda a shy guy but once you get to know me I'm pretty outgoing. Feel free to ask me whatever you want and say hi, I promise I'll respond in some form or another. Thanks for checking out my somewhat attempts at a blog. Subscribe via RSS.
