if SOPA passes, people will start saying "The way of Mario" or "The way of Sonic" instead of "The way of the dodo".
What's wrong with that?
DUDE. YOUR NAME IS PAPERMARIO123. That would be censored, your sig would be censored, EVERY SINGLE MARIO AND SONIC AND KIRBY AND POKEMON AND EVERY OTHER COMMERCIAL WOULD BE CENSORED.
So basically, it'll be illegal to say the name of anything copyrighted? Good luck with avoiding court then...

Guys, it won't be "censored". What this bill says is that if there's ANYTHING from a copyright on the site or even linked to, THE ENTIRE SITE GETS SHUT DOWN. INSTANTLY. WITH NO TRIAL.
We know. But most of us consider that a form of censorship being taken way over the edge since the government is not only blocking the offending material but also the legitimate material that appears on the site as well.
Piracy issues are a problem, but most of will agree that blocking websites is a pretty terrible way to approaching it.

PIPA is also a bad idea, but SOPA has more publicity.

Re: SOPA/PIPA Official Topic
Dear all scratchers,
Tomorrow, the 18th January 2012, signals the start of the SOPA and PIPA vote.
People around the globe will be protesting. The following sites will be down tomorrow due to this:
-Wikipedia
-Minecraft SITE (You still can login)
-Possibly Scratch
If you know anymore, tell me.
Ok everyone. We have our rights! We want freedom on the internet! DOWN WITH SOPA & PIPA.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN OF THE US,UK, AND OTHER COUNTRIES, JOIN US IN THE BATTLE AGAINST SOPA!

That might be why I know nothing about it...
But still changed my picture and uploaded a project with the picture in it.
