Using a Sledgehammer to Crack a Nut

is about the best description I can give to the SOPA and PIPA acts been considered in the US.

Don't get me wrong - I support actions to prevent on-line piracy and protection of copyright where required.  Doing it in this way, however, is the wrong approach, as the wording been proposed is so woolly and all-encompassing that taken literally it would spell doom for the likes of YouTube and communities such as this one.

A number of sites are blacking out today in protest - KP Presents is not one of them, but I wanted to state my support of those who are fighting to change these acts before they cause real damage to the internet.

That is all.
