As much as I’d love nothing more than to bash out another post about the evils of censorship in general and the alarming rate at which the US is barreling down the slippery slope towards it, the fact of the matter is that by now it’d be redundant about a million times over.

- The Oatmeal’s excellent lightweight SOPA explanation
- Wikipedia’s SOPA page
- Wikipedia’s PIPA page
- Ars Technica’s SOPA/PIPA Resistance Day pages
- EFF’s Anti-Blacklist Action page
- SOPA Blackout Script for your site
- Article on past attempts at censorship (lol Godwin’d)
