It is looking like both SOPA and PIPA are on their last legs. I don't want to jinx anything by celebrating just yet though.
I find it kind of upsetting that people like yourself in other countries can't really do anything to stop these bills from passing here in the US, despite the fact that you would be affected by it. Major sites might be able to continue on even without US customers, but I would think many sites would go 'out of business' without US support and that would affect you as well. Don't you think? Not to mention, once we do it, other countries will follow suit.
Speaking of politics, I saw this today and wondered if you knew about it. Forced Sterilization For Transgenders In Sweden (http://www.allout.org/en/actions/stop_forced_sterilization).
