SOPA and PIPA
So my site was blacked out from early this morning until evening to participate in the SOPA Strike. I may sound like a broken record now but I’m quite passionate about spreading the word about this, as I’ve seen how horribly informed most people I know are about these two bills. The strike had a good effect, it made it to national news! It is a step in the right direction. The internet is just something we cannot allow the government to take control of. There’s still a fight ahead, please pass the word on about these things. Stay informed. If the government gets into the internet, our freedoms as we know it are at stake.
- US backers end support for anti-piracy bill (awesome stuff)
- SOPA Blacks Out Top Sites (gallery of some of the bigger sites that blacked out)
- SOPA Infringes on Liberties (informative)
- MPAA Chairman Chris Dodd Speaks Out (he’s full of dookie)
- Congress May Re-Copyright Public Domain Works (bad news folks)
- Mike Mozart – Richard O’Dwyer Extradited to US (although I don’t know if I fully agree, it’s interesting)
- Techdirt Article (some good information)
So now that I’ve bombarded any visitors with a wall of links, please do check them out. Keep up to date on this. It is important!
Black Out
This site will be participating in the SOPA Strike and will black out for 12 hours on Wednesday the 18th. Please stop by this page for more information about the strike:
SOPA and PIPA are power grabs to control the internet. This would allow a firewall like that of China or Iran. Thankfully there has been progress made in the SOPA battle and it has been shelved, but there is still more to be done. PIPA is equally as dangerous.
For those unfamiliar with SOPA or PIPA, please check out these links for more information:
