The main problem here is not the media giving credit to Google or Wikipedia for what happened with those bills.
Not even us not acknowledging our own results.
How many times is Wikipedia going to blackout to raise awareness about bad legislation?
How many times is Google going to post a message in its homepage, about a political matter, instead of just negotiating a beneficial exit for them?
The main problem is a vast majority of us, the people, not caring about what happens at any level of out political structures.
We all know that corporations pay big checks to politicians, just to make them present and pass their bills. We all know that money buys friends. And BIG money, buys BIG friends.
SOPA and PIPA may have been delayed. Even stopped. But without trying to go further, without trying to change this corrupted system, it's just a matter of time to see again and again and again our rights to be stamped and stolen from us.
Everything is useless if eat from the bread of complacency and drink from the glass of auto-satisfaction. If we go to bed thinking "we've done it", instead of "we have a lot of things to do".
Let's nos stop, let's not forget.
