I agree.
SCRATCH TEAM, HURRY UP AND FIND THIS TOPIC.
This is a temporary signature. It will exist until I think of something witty.

YES. Coolstuff, you are a moderator. Please show the Scratch team this, and have them prepare code. Then, if the bill gets passed, every image will be the SOPA logo. Also, send each person a notification telling them that this is just a protest, not actual censoring.

Tons of sites are shutting down in protest, including some major sites, such as Reddit, Mojang/Minecaft, and Mozilla!

Just the 18th, as far as I know. Read the web site, lol. That's all the information I have. 
Anonymous should seriously hack or DDoS some major sites to give a sample of what SOPA would be like. Maybe hack flickr, and replace all images with a CENSORED BY SOPA image placeholder.
Also, there seems to be a fair chance that Obama would veto the bill as well, the White house has made it clear that any bill can't alter the framework of the Internet, such as the DNS system.

I believe 12 hours on the 18th.
Honestly, it's enough sites closing down to make it a pretty impacting event.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

They are not trying to get rid of Scratch or any other websites.
What they are doing in the Senate and House is attempting to pass laws that will allow internet censorship. They are very unconstitutional but somehow there is a possibility they get through. Many websites are shutting themselves down on the day of Jan 18th to protest this.
Those websites will go back up, however.

No, it has to be optional. We're not forcing people to protest.

Re: SOPA/PIPA Official Topic
Bump.
Activison endorsed this bill so that people won't find other FPS's, so that theirs can stay on top. Essentially, at least.

Re: SOPA/PIPA Official Topic
Remember people, we should be protesting this because it's against our rights as people, not because we're afraid MINECRAAAAFT is going to shut down.
