I see in the technical news that Obama doesn't like Sopa and Pipa as currently prepared. It seems like a lot of other people (Wikipedia) don't either and are taking attempts to block it/them totally by closing down aspects of the Internet for a short time. I always feel in these circumstances that negotiation/evolution is better than revolution, and rather than taking revolutionary action to just make a point, these intelligent people should be suggesting alternates or modifications to make it workable in what Sopa wants to achieve, without the negative aspects, such as the possible effect on open-source software.
