I still have a hard time grasping the fact the SOPA bill could actually 
happen, but if it does it is nice to have some workarounds. Here are two 
Firefox add-ons Ive read about... 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/desopa/ 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mafiaafire-piratebay-dancing/ 

I had been using Chrome/Chromium for a while, but recently switched back to 
Mozilla Firefox because they have chosen to take a stance against SOPA and 
have even asked DHS questions that have gone unanswered...

One of my biggest reasons for switching to linux 5 years ago was for freedom 
and privacy. The community here has been such a great bonus! 

Hopefully freedom will prevail and the bill doesnt become law. Educating 
people about SOPA should be our first step, but it doesnt hurt to be 
prepared either. 

Best, Dave
