PIPA, SOPA

[meridianiplanum]

So I'm a little late on the uptake, despite wikipedia going offline the night before home-I-cannot-do was due, but I really don't understand SOPA and PIPA.  The pirates have changed the way people engage in media so fully and thoroughly that cracking down on them after more than a decade of successful operation is likely to hurt rather than help

I like. It's precisely for this reason that the Internet enhanced a lot of the experiences I had. I pirated all my Stars albums, but when they came I happily splashed out $90 on their concert and I bought tees, hardcover albums of what I had pirated already (and I don't think they went into my computer at all, pristine they are) because I felt they were just that good.
