what was the blackout like? :( i missed it...
It wasn't really 'like' anything tbh, pretty much a message saying something about XS SOPA Blackout extended edition with no access to the site :-) Very cool :up:
When did this happen? I missed it too.Quote:

Anyone coming to this website likely knew what SOPA was, so little was gained in that regard. Honestly, I was somewhat disappointed that XS decided to be part of the blackout with no warning and while there was generally no value that would be added by the blackout. It was more of a "google did it so we followed suit" than really adding any value. I don't want to be a sheep...
Thank you for posting this linkQuote:

Picture this... SOPA/ACTA/Initials of something just as, if not more stupid comes in...
This site could then be shutdown for 'Conspiracy to commit Copyright' among other 'infringements' or something stupid like that if Youtube (of which there are many) links were ever posted on here with any music even in the background of the clips, I think that warrants some learning about it....
P.S. Remain vigilant, if anything more stupid ever makes it's way in anywhere, XS may be shutdown for Copyright infringement if any of the members of this site sing in the shower...
I'm for it, maybe it'll get people thinking a little.
SOPA can suck my shlong. When will the US learn they can't ram their laws down other countries throats?
Your country will happily follow suit.Quote:

carnival in Germany :) the reason for this caricature cart being Merkel's visit to the US 2003 and her support for Irak war but it also happens to fit the bill with ACTA, PIPA, SOPA etc.
