We made the bbill of rights to state freedoms pf individual people. One of those freedoms was the freedom of speech. You can not take away an american's rights. For people of other countries this is what sopa and pipa is trying to do. WE ARE AMERICA AND WE ARE A FREE COUNTRY! They are trying to take away the very thing that we live for... Freedom... So thats why the internet will be on strike. Instead of agreeing to the government's plan for the sqash of freedom they will be doing something else. And they should. Planet Minecraft was right in their choice of the strike.
