This is an issue that affects bitcoin directly. Wikipedia 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Action The 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. It's funny / almost comical how you consign this to being just another issue or case of moral alarm. Sad. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik at exmulti.com> To: Amir Taaki <zgenjix at yahoo.com> Cc: "bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net" <bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2012 10:37 PM Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] bitcoin.org SOPA/PIPA blackout On Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 5:09 PM, Amir Taaki <zgenjix at yahoo.com> wrote: > How is this not the most important world issue right now? > > EVERYTHING is under threat.

There are always issues that raise ire and moral outrage.  I would rather that bitcoin.org stay apolitical -- our users will appreciate this in the long run. -- Jeff Garzik exMULTI, Inc. jgarzik at exmulti.com
