Uh... well, apparently, from what I heard (first heard it from a fanfic, which I will not name), SOPA
will be coming back.
It doesn't matter if it's 'fake' or 'it won't do anything if we do nothing', DO SOMETHING.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step!
And isn't it better to do something rather to do nothing? If we (anyone who reads this) sign the petition before September 21 of 2013, WE CAN STOP THE INTERNET'S DESTRUCTION! ('Destruction'? Hm... is that a good word to even say that'll describe the internet once SOPA comes to pass?)
Here's the video that was linked on the fanfic I read: (WARNING! There will be profanity in the video. WARNING! If you don't like profanity, don't pay attention to it! Just pay attention what he is trying to say! WARNING!)
If you do not want to see the video, but want to read proof/or just want to sigh the petition, look below:
Articles:
If the links DO NOT directly link you to the page, then copy and paste. Thanks.
AND! If I sound... too overbearing, or too... frustrated, then sorry. My life is surrounded by the internet, I live for the internet. The internet is my freedom. If my freedom is taken away... what could I do? I mean, sure, there's books, anime, manga, the videogames that I fortunately have- but what about fanfiction? What about RPG games that I love? What about all those Youtube videos that I want to watch with others/to look up when I need help/to have a laugh at? What about those? What about the manga on the internet, that were translated, as they aren't in English? What about deviantart? What about Fanfiction?
To those with the 'it's fake' or 'it won't pass cause everyone will not like it when it passes' or have something similar thoughts; STOP THINKING LIKE THAT. Sure the internet cannot be trusted at times, but SERIOUSLY! Isn't it better to be prepare rather to procrastinate- or worse- to do nothing???
If you are pro, con, or neutral fence sitters... *sigh* okay, I'll just make it clear; I'm a con, and I will probably throw profanities at your if you are a pro or a fence sitter to try to convince you to be a con. BUT if you state that you are either of those, then... ok... I understand, somewhat. (I will try to hold my tongue if you flame me, but I reckon NOT to do so.)
But to those who agree with me, and are cons against SOPA 2013, PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION IMMEDIATELY.
Thank you for those who read this! And please SPREAD THE WORD!
EDIT:
Well, as I checked in the petition website, it seems that the signatures that we need has already passed it's mark!
Ha... well, that is, if you check it on today (9/24/13) the 21st already passed 2-3 days ago. :3
