Great video! I like how it tells the history of this BS. This Leahy is a real tool as well, I see. Mr. "we have to save Habeas Corpus" becomes Mr. Censorship. Nice.

Looks like some members of Congress are upset by this black out.
"The planned strike prompted a sharp response from at least one major supporter of the legislation. In a statement Tuesday, former Sen. Chris Dodd, now chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), blasted the so-called Internet Blackout Day.
"It is an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information," Dodd said. "It is also an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today.
Dodd pointed to comments from the White House last week about concerns over the two bills and called for cooperation between all stakeholders.
"Only days after the White House and chief sponsors of the legislation responded to the major concern expressed by opponents..., some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users," Dodd said in the statement."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~How ironic that a member of Congress would accuse others exercising their freedom as an "abuse of power." Hmm, Chairman of the MPAA. Sure, no bias or "abuse of power" there... I'm also boycotting going to the movies in general. Basically because lately they suck and they're too expensive and people are hurting... Mr. Dodd.
