Two days ago, you guys stepped up once again to show the world just how much we care about protecting the Internet. Together, we generated more than 140,000 calls to Senators, spent more than 4,200 hours on the phone with their staffers, and blacked out 650,000 of our blogs to make our point and inspire others to get involved. And what’s more, this was on top of the 90,000 calls we sent to members of the House of Representatives a month ago. Incredible.
It’s now becoming clear just how much impact our action is having. On January 18th, only 31 members of Congress opposed these bills. Just one day later, 101 members of Congress publicly stood with us in opposition. We are being heard.
And as of today, it looks like both the Senate PIPA and House SOPA bills have been shelved, for the moment. It seems pretty likely that the bills won’t pass as written—a big first win. We now hope that Internet companies, the creative community and the content industry join together to innovate and devise new partnerships to combat online piracy. We’re confident there are effective ways to do this without damaging the Internet or diminishing our freedoms.
You’ve made a big difference in keeping the Internet a safe and open place for creators. Thank you again.

Can we … can we try and make it more profound? - Chapter One. He adored New York City. To him, it was a metaphor for the decay of contemporary culture.

I mean, you know, let’s face it, I want to sell some books here. - Chapter One. He adored New York City, although to him it was a metaphor for the decay of contemporary culture.

여성의 권세는 치마바람이 되며 여성의 정열은 드셈, 여성의 비판은 건방짐, 여성의 노여움은 발끈함, 여성의 지적 욕구는 지적 허영심이 된다. 남성의 눈물은 눈물단지에 모실 만큼 장엄하지만 여성의 눈물은 약자의 교활한 무기일 뿐, 청승맞은 소금물이다. 남성의 정조는 전장의 깃발이던가? 찢겨질수록 영광이 되고, 여성의 정조는 쪽박이던가? 한 번 깨어지면 뒤란에 버려진 채 아무렇게나 나뒹굴고 밟히는 사금파리
