Whatever.
I’m actually neutral in this regard, given the fact the contra-PIPA people are constantly pissing me off by shutting down sites I wanted to use today.
I seriously can’t see the point in a “Hey people, you need to support our petition! Whilst we disable the thing you just wanted to access, have fun!”-strategy.
Don’t mind people making posts or whatever to point at the issue, but pissing others off is not the way to do it.
To clarify this:
I’m not lamenting about sites putting big bold texts to warn unknowing people. Thats a fair move. But they really shouldn’t shutdown sites (rather just hide them behind said texts), as it doesn’t benefit anyone, literally.
edit:
Whilst still STRONGLY disagreeing with the way contra-activists went along. The cause itself is support-worthy.
