SOPA is bad, duh

So today the Internet staged a mass demonstration in opposition to SOPA and PIPA, two bills from which Congress is beating a hasty retreat as we speak. So hey, good for the Internet. Was it entirely necessary? Gawker has a very level-headed post arguing that no, it wasn't really. But the Atlantic has a slightly sunnier view. Both of those reads are worth your time even if you feel like you have a pretty good grasp of what SOPA/PIPA are all about. And this blog remains firmly against censorship of any kind, especially the censorship of nipples through shirts. Anyway.
