Stop SOPA:
http://americancensorship.org/

---------------------------------------------------

Hello, American citizens. We are Anonymous. As you may or may not be aware, SOPA is a internet censorship bill that plans to stop piracy on the internet. While this may sound like an exceptional bill, we urge you to reconsider. The bill has been written as to give power to the government to shutdown any website they deem having to host "pirated" content, such as music or pictures. It also goes on to state that any site accused of piracy can be shutdown with or without proof of even having hosted such media. This is a direct violation of the American people's right to free speech, and we, the people, will not stand for this.

This puts your social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube at risk of being shut down by the United States government, where personal videos utilize copyrighted content, however legally. Most videos that contain copyrighted content use it in a way that is confined in the Terms of Fair Use. As the bill is written in its current form, it will render the Terms of Fair Use irrelevant. As it stands (without SOPA), any video that contains such media gives the owner of that content to take legal action against the infringer. With SOPA, the government assumes responsibility for media that it does not even own!

Under SOPA, your personal blog may be shutdown because of your use of an excerpt of a copyrighted video or soundtrack. It can also order internet providers to blacklist your website, again, with or without proof of even having hosted pirated content. While this may be extreme, this is what the bill gives the government the ability to do. And if we, together, do not stop this bill, the government will go on to slowly take away the rights you are supposedly guaranteed as an American citizen.

The internet is nothing but a network of computers worldwide. Nobody owns the internet. Nobody CAN own the internet. If nobody can own the internet, what gives our so called democratic government, which is supposed to secure certain liberties, the right to control what we see and experience on the internet?

Whether you be a supporter or opposer to Anonymous, it does not matter. We are people. We must stand by each other, and take the responsibility of ensuring our freedom into our own hands. Without your assistance, our children may grow up in a world where the government has complete control over what they are able to do and say. We urge anyone viewing this video to sign petitions against SOPA, and to contact their congressmen, to prevent this bill from being passed. Information is free.

We are Anonymous.
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

  • Anonymous doesn't have one set idea. Some people may be hacking, while others are protesting. The system that you are used to doesn't apply everywhere else. The correct term is: "People FROM anonymous are hacking bank accounts."
