Infortunately I can't sign because I am not an American, nor do I live there, but I do support this. They should keep their hands off internet, since it is not theirs, but of the whole world!!

I signed. *nod* It's sad to see what our politicians are doing. "Economy? Debt? What? No, we're going to focus on limiting and controling the internet." ><

If one does not wish to read, here is someone speaking about the topic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM
If you'd rather search the name to watch the video, here it is: WTF is SOPA ? aka The American Government trying to ruin the internet
It should be the first video... the one which is 21 minutes in length.
Now, I wish I was able to sign, for I would, but I cannot. I, however, will show my support in informing as many people as I can.

This is interesting. I recommend to read the wikipedia page, for those of you that aren't too sure what this is.
Thanks for informing us Starkad.

Why is the blackout happening?
Wikipedians have chosen to black out the English Wikipedia for the first time ever, because we are concerned that SOPA and PIPA will severely inhibit people's access to online information. This is not a problem that will solely affect people in the United States: it will affect everyone around the world.
Why? SOPA and PIPA are badly drafted legislation that won't be effective at their stated goal (to stop copyright infringement), and will cause serious damage to the free and open Internet. They put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won't have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up in major search engines. And, SOPA and PIPA build a framework for future restrictions and suppression.
