Bungie and Minecraft Go Against SOPA Bill

We as gamers need to make sure this bill doesn't pass!

Word about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) has spread throughout the gaming universe.  It has even caused the shut down of the Fireball beta.  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!  Bungie, the company that created the Halo series, and Markus Persson, head of Mojang studios which is known for Minecraft, have spoke up about this issue.

Persson stated on Twitter on January 13, that Minecraft will be offline on January 18 and that the blackout will last for an unknown amount of time.  If you previously downloaded the game, you will be able to play; the internet version will not be accessible.  On Bungie's side, they said that if the bill was passed, it would "negatively impact both the games we make and the people who play them."  Bungie is also asking gamers to read the actual bill for further education on it.
