On Wednesday, January 18, this website joined with many others across the Internet by being blacked out in protest of SOPA and PIPA, two bills being deliberated in the US Congress, which if signed into law would provide a means for copyright owners to censor the Internet.
While we feel that copyright owners have a right to combat the online piracy of their intellectual property, the provisions outlined in these two bills would do more harm to the Internet by violating the US First Amendment and free speech, preventing whistle-blowing actions against corruption, and bring about an unprecedented crippling of the Internet.
Please take a moment to visit Fight For The Future for more information and to help speak out against these dangerous propositions.
