131302101•Members of the House ended the hearing to enforce the Stop Online Piracy Act. The act will allow the government to block overseas websites that traffic in copyright-infringing content. Read both sides of the case at Deadline.

So far the theater has received $100,000 from board pledges and $100,000 from an anonymous donor, but it needs your help. The New York Times has more.
