I was going to black out my site but no one really visits it so instead I just changed my avatar on DeviantArt, ModDB/IndieDB and several forums.

Sopa seems universally despised by regular folks. Whether the arguments against it come from the left or right in politics they share many of the same points.

Here is, allegedly, a list of congressmen showing supporters and opposition: http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/ As of this posting the list is not complete.

The mass media over-hyped itself to disinterest... I hope the lawyers and litigators know what they are doing, and hopefully do it for people in general..
