While I do completely oppose SOPA and many other things our government is doing these days, I really do not see the point in website blackouts.
Most of the sheeple out there are just going to get irritated at the wrong people over a blackout. Those who understand what what a blackout is trying to say are already on-board so you have really accomplished little.

I work with a bunch of guys in their early 20's, I asked them what they thought the black out and only 1 of the 6 I asked understood what it was about. The 5 who didn't were just irritated that they couldn't play around on reddit and went somewhere else for their entertainment. The 1 who did understand feels the way I do that it was a wasted gesture because most people are stupid.
But if 10 senators changed their minds I guess it's all good. Question is did they change their minds because they see it's wrong or because they fear for their jobs. I am betting the later.

Honestly I don't care as long as they oppose it and don't try to pass any similar bullshit legislation anytime soon.
I watched a video today and heard something great that I will now quote probably until the day I die.
"Don't listen to normal people, they're stupid."

As to Congressman Lamar Smith, the author of SOPA who was caught red handed engaging in copyright infringement with stolen photography works on his official campaign website! What's good for the goose is good for the gander. It would only be reasonable for SWAT to pick him up in the middle of the night, like the US did with megaupload's employees, throw him in a small cold cell and confiscate all his assets in case they be awarded to the victim(s) in this case. If there is any justice left in this world he should be charged with infringement for every person who has ever visited [thereby downloading] his official campaign website.
This won't happen however, because corporations get more protection from the US gov than individuals; and everyone knows that the politicians in DC are not subject to the rules they themselves claim to champion.
