SOPA, shelved
The most significant existential threat to this thread and APC has been shelved for now. Congress has decided not to hold a vote on SOPA and PIPA after everyone from FOX News to Apple Computer agreed that this legislation threatened to effectively reduce our freedom of communication to something less than Chinese citizens currently enjoy.
Hollywood aint happy and they blame the internet for no one wanting to shell out $10 a ticket to enjoy movie theaters and $15 popcorn combo snacks to watch video games with all the narrative depth of a Justin Beiber video. We can expect SOPA, the sequel. Until then, lets enjoy cutting and pasting to our hearts' content.
