This is an issue that affects bitcoin directly.\n\nWikipedia has far more need to remain neutral and apolitical than bitcoin ever does- you've read Satoshi's politically charged whitepaper or seen the genesis block quote.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Action\n\nThe Wikipedia community decided on a full and global blackout. Bitcoin should do the same in unison with the rest of the web- sites like Reddit, 4chan and Wikipedia.\n\nIt's funny / almost comical how you consign this to being just another issue or case of moral alarm. Sad.\n\n\n\n----- Original Message -----\nFrom: Jeff Garzik \u003cjgarzik at exmulti.com\u003e\nTo: Amir Taaki \u003czgenjix at yahoo.com\u003e\nCc: \"bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net\" \u003cbitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net\u003e\nSent: Sunday, January 15, 2012 10:37 PM\nSubject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] bitcoin.org SOPA/PIPA blackout\n\nOn Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 5:09 PM, Amir Taaki \u003czgenjix at yahoo.com\u003e wrote:\n\u003e How is this not the most important world issue right now?\n\u003e\n\u003e EVERYTHING is under threat.
