I'm saying it was a lackluster attempt at joining the protest on their most visible page. Their banner is some new design/art/etc. almost everyday. I guarantee there were people that saw it, paid no attention to it and kept right on Googling.

They have shareholders, including myself to answer to. They have earnings projections to meet and beat. Shutting down the website would have cost them billions in revenue and market value. They did plenty today

Thanks for attempting to insert ideas I never presented.

But ideas you agreed with?

Interfering with regular use to any degree further affects the bottom line. How is this hard to understand?

Google. Is. A. Business.

You're right again. I can look at my house using their site and a black patch is undoubtedly the pinnacle of their protest abilities without them declaring bankruptcy.

Nope dip**** I don't. Do you understand I am a consumer of their product and I viewed their "protest" as laughable. As did many people that texted me today, other consumers of their product. If you can by some miracle change my perception of what I viewed today as well as the perception of many others, go right ahead.

Where do you think I have a beef with Google? They chose to protest something. I am merely judging their attempt at the protest. An organization decided to take an action, I judged the action. Nothing more, nothing less. There is an expectation with Google considering they do things so well. Google has so perfected their business they have attained Xerox and FedEx status. People use their name for what they do, which is search the web. They don't say "Yahoo it."

You viewed their protest as "laughable" when a company like Microsoft did NOTHING. Where is your Beef with Apple? They are the same size as Microsoft and Google combined and i saw nothing on iTunes

I didnt use iTunes or a Microsoft page today. Also, I am saying their execution was laughable.

Apple and Microsoft are in favor of SOPA. Piracy of Office is rampant, and a huge portion of Apple's revenue stream is from iTunes.

SOPA is STUPID!!! if understand it right. If someone on this posts a clip from a movie or anything, freak would be responsible and this website would be shut down. Am I right?

More to the point, the federal government would be granted the power to block access to any website it so chooses without any sort of legal process.

I understand but this bill isnt passing and people weren't going to jail for 5 yrs for posting clips of MJ. We should focus on more important issues. It will fail but ultimately be a success for bringing the issue to light and eventually something will be done b/c big $ wants it
