wiki, if you look up anything other than
SOPA and PIPA
comics: questionablecontent, girlswithslignshots , asofterworld just has everything crossed out, explosm, theoatmeal xkcd and a bunch of others, I'm assuming (have to admit I don't actually know some of these, just looked them up on a functioning Google)
Tumblr is giving the option of blocking out your thread
Google's icon today is censored
Reddit
Postsecret
and here is a list of other companies, over 1000 of them, against it, including
aol, ebay, facebook, twitter, firefox, linkedin, zynga
(pretty google picture here)
Here is a list of supporters (including CVS, Marmot, Nike, Studio 404, Viacom and Walmart)
Viacom even made a video but I think it's worth reading this for a more rounded view?
The dispute isn't about weather or not piracy is bad, it's about how to go about fighting it without giving too much power to one sector (media companies) over the internet.
"It should be noted that full episodes of VH1′s amazing lineup of reality programs are available at the VH1 website, but you wouldn’t know that if you visited Viacom. If you want to actually combat episodic piracy, why not go out of your way to promote the fact these very same episodes are available for free on the website of a property you own instead of making videos that further turn public opinion against you?"
and for a general rundown of some of the implications for one guy who has a company on the internet
for those of you still confused
