Last month, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was introduced to the House of Representatives aiming to censor key aspects of the Internet in order protect the rights of the entertainment industry. The PROTECT IP Act, the Senate counterpart to SOPA, already passed earlier this year, but enforcement has been shelved for the time being due to rising concerns that it has the power to impede freedom of speech. While both bills state they are trying to help the entertainment industry sell more movies and music downloads, the effects of the bill are far-reaching and potentially devastating to Internet freedom as well as to the Internet itself.
SOPA caught the attention of Anonymous and on Wednesday they released this video which warned:
“We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. To the American Congress. Expect us.”
Well, one hour ago, Anonymous released yet another video… SPOILER ALERT:
“We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive censorship. We do not forget the denial of our free rights as human beings. To the United States government, you should’ve expected us.“

This is pretty interesting stuff...
Don't believe that these people are "terrorist hackers." Anonymous is us.
And if it isn't us now, it will be if they pass this bill. Their ranks will be exploding with supporters and new recruits, like the American army in the 1770s.
not able to find the Spoiler Alert video, share the link
Huh.
Honestly I hope these guys hack the US governments computers and mainframes...I hope they wreck everything the corrupt has worked so hard on just to keep the free and non guilty parties of their game down...the government has done nothing for their poor and hungry or their sick and their tired...they've only fed the greedy and rich, the unfair and unjust in this country...people who make a million dollars a year pay less taxes then middle and lower class citizens...which is bullshit they should be paying the back breaking taxes...not the middle and lower class citizens of this country which claims to be "land of the free" or "the land of promise, where you can do ANYTHING if you put your mind to it and work hard enough towards that ultimate goal in life"...I hope they burn it all to be honest
