Nerd News: SOPA Blackouts and Updates

As many of you know Reddit and Ars are connected, they share a parent company, so you can think of them as sister or brother companies.


If your looking for news during the SOPA blackout, or looking for ideas for what else you can do, then Ars is the place to go, here are a few words from their most recent article about SOPA: 
Many sites have chosen to go dark (i.e., offline) today, a stance we respect—but it's not the right path for us. Ars Technica has, for 14 years, tried to be an information resource, and the most appropriate response from Ars is to provide even more information on the legislation, how you can fight it, and what's really at stake.
Our normal publishing schedule has been frozen in carbonite. For a limited time, we're turning our attention to SOPA and its Senate cousin, the PROTECT IP Act. What remains in each bill after the managers' amendments and the removal of DNS blocking?

Like I have told many people about Ars, the comments sections are often the best part.
