Wikipedia Blackout

SOPA? How about NOPA?
 
I hope it doesn't affect fan made creations. We certainly aren't intending to make a profit.

This bill is stupid either way.
 
Can you explan the bill to me, I'm little confused with it

EDIT: I found this

Basically, it'll give the government the right to block any site that links to copyrighted content or that uses such content without the consent of the copyright owner. It would affect this site, the wiki, YouTube, and many other websites.
-a summary of the after effects of the bills from Mario4Ever

In short, any website containing copyrighted material will be in danger of removal if the bill does pass. I think you would get the basic idea if you check out this thread (if you haven't done so as of yet):

^If they locate the copyrighted contents, it could very well happen I'm afraid. I'm not sure about a complete shutdown; however, the forum and Wiki can be affected to a large degree if the bill were to pass.

SOPA has been shelved. *bleep* yes.

Now we just need to kick PIPA's ass.

What do you means?
SOPA won't be passed. Or it's unlikely that it will.

PIPA, though, is still going strong.

Source or link?

I don't know, ask Scarecrow.

I was just interpreting his words in another way, because you said "what do you means?"
