Live Tweeting From the NYC SOPA and PIPA Protest

“Join us to stop SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act),” read the email.
The group of tech experts are holding a rally Wednesday afternoon from 12:30 to 2 p.m. ET outside the New York City offices of Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. More than 1,500 have already confirmed their attendance on the event page. There’s some heavy hitters on the attendance list, including Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.
A smorgasbord of websites are censoring themselves today in protest, but this rally takes the anti-SOPA/PIPA fight offline and onto the streets. If you can’t make it to New York (Or Seattle or San Francisco, where simultaneous protests are being planned), but you still want to know what’s happening at the protest, you’re in luck.
