Grassroots solidarity (especially with all my favorite webcomics, it seems) goes a long way toward showing that killing these bills isn't just a push by major tech companies.

But it is, really. If you didn't have so many of the giants whom you might expect to favor SOPA coming out against it, the bill likely wouldn't be dead. But they are and it is, and no one cares that you're taking your tumblr account down for the day, you hypothetical spotty faced teenaged fuck!
The petitions and whatnot are fair game, but the rest of it is just so typically masturbatory of people nowadays that it makes me want to put my head through my monitor.

I'm talking more about the fairly major sites (like MS Paint Adventures, which gets well over a million visitors a day) initiating a blackout and directing people to petitions. Or Dinosaur Comics, that's a good example. Taking the people who like your work and directing them so that hundreds of thousands of voices are slamming up against Congress all at once? There's nothing bad about that.

I hate a bandwagon, that's what's bad about it!

Calm down Badgenome, it makes them feel important! Like they're making a real difference in the world.
