Kickstarter Project Wants SOPA, PIPA on Toilet Paper

For those who aren't too fond of the SOPA and PIPA bills that are currently on hold in Washington, there's an amusing project over on Kickstarter that's trying to print the text of both onto rolls of toilet paper. So far the movement has 12 backers totaling a pledge of $188, but at this point, it has a lot of catching up to do in order to meet its goal of $2,000 in the next five days.

So why print SOPA and PIPA on toilet paper? Do you really need to ask? The bills essentially took the "take action now, ask questions later" route by letting IP owners take action against accused copyright violators without a single court appearance. Websites could be blacklisted and blocked merely by linking to a video hosted elsewhere that might have the slightest evidence of unlicensed material.

But after a lot of thrashing from the public and a mass online blackout back in January, the bills were finally put on hold, but threats of revisions still linger Washington's halls. Since their delay, little else has rolled out of Congress concerning the controversial bills. Craig on the other hand, the guy behind the Kickstarter project (who would rather not provide his real name in fear of a lashing by his employer), actually wants to see the two bills printed on paper... toilet paper, that is.
