SOPA and PIPA protest... how we can do it

Post by devsh »

Okay I think irrlicht should get a 1.7.3 update to protest the pipa and blackout the renderer!!! (all drawing functions unimplemented CNullDriver only, beginScene only clears back buffer to black)

I was wondering if it would be possible to use DNS server outside US to avoid this ()?

Maybe we get finally a few good internet startups in Europe once the US has wrecked their legal system sufficiently *evil grin*!

Anyway, just found out Khan did a great video on explaining sopa - and it's even worse than I had expected/known so far: http://www.khanacademy.org/video/sopa-a ... can+Civics

@serengeos: I wouldn't worry much about that - users will be able to avoid the restrictions. It's their own tech-companies they are hitting most with this (yeah, they really are that crazy....)
