Wouldn't it be more practical to get the Scratch Team to just replace the images themselves?
How will they get the images back?
It would probably be only for a day.
Yeah, but how can they hack into every project in the morning, change ALL of the images, go back the next day and undo it?

Done for me.
SOPA DON'T LIKE YOU.
My old sig would have been a bit like this;
I said I could X. I said I could X to Scratch.

Re: SOPA/PIPA Official Topic
It's a good idea, I'm not going to do it, but… forgive the question, but is that legal?

They could go in and change a setting so that instead of having the 'removed by ____' image, it'd be the 'SOPA' image. .3.

Yeah. They can do it with icons, remember last year on April Fools?
Everyone was the same.
What if on the 18th, the ST does it again, except with the removed by SOPA image?

Will do.
Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Is what legal? We have a constitutional right to protest, so the government can't do anything. (Although we also have freedom of speech, which SOPA opposes. It seems as though nobody cares about the Bill of Rights except the right to bear arms, which happens to be outdated and irrelevant now that we don't need "a well regulated and organized militia")

Re: SOPA/PIPA Official Topic
On the 18th, which is when the SOPA blackout will be, we should upload, remix, and view as many project as we can to protest SOPA. The next curator, who is lapras27, can curate protest SOPA projects. That way, all the front page projects (other than SDS) can be protest SOPA!
I know we're already uploading projects to protest, but on the 18th, let's go crazy!
Who's with me? Post below

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Yeah because politicians go to the Scratch website.
Also, its got like a 15% support so it most likely won't happen anyway.

Yeah but we want 0%! And what if the other side decides to show other better reasons why this will work? Then we may be screwed!
