I really really hope it had an impact but the realist part of me knows that the MPAA has a ton of money to offer politicians and I'm sure the RIAA can chip in a few bucks as well. I saw somewhere that the average age of our current congress is 62...which, I'm not saying a person of that age is automatically incompetent with computers, but just imagine 100 copies of your grandparents voting on a sweeping internet bill like SOPA.

http://www.smbc-comics.com/#comicDo you think this protest will have an impact? Have you heard anything from politicians about the blackout?
yeah many of them are in favor of it which is no surprise.the majority of congress is corrupt,Bought off and paid for.I never thought any president could be more corrupt than Bushwacker but Obozo is.He has expanded everything Bushwacker got started.Buchwacker talked about getting rid of the net but Obozo is really trying to get it implemented.
