User blog:~Mana~/SOPA-PIPA-ACTA Updates

Introduction
Okay guys, here's the deal. Today, Megaupload, a popular file sharing website, was shut down by the United States Government. This appears to be the first website to have this happen, but full awareness is required now. This could just be a warning to everyone that they're serious about this whole thing.

It has also came to our attention that the US are campaigning for a global pact, namely "ACTA". This pact will affect the entire world should it take place.

We all love Wikia, and are grateful for everything it's done for us. We want it to continue running. Therefore, we're going to make some changes. Only simple changes, nothing amazingly serious. I'll also keep an update here of further movement on the SOPA/PIPA/ACTA pacts.
