How The Protect IP / SOPA Act Will Break The Internet

RIGHT NOW, AS YOU ARE READING THIS, Congress is about to pass internet censorship, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity.

George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

This week, a bill that would create America's first Internet censorship system is going to a full committee for a vote, and is likely to pass. This week, millions of us will protest censorship, censoring our own posts and asking you to call Congress. We need your help - please make a call right now using the link above this.
SITES YOU USE EVERY DAY COULD BE BLOCKED IF IT PASSES.

The US Congress is considering America's first system for censoring the Internet.
Despite public outcry, the Internet Censorship bill could pass at any time.
If it does, the Internet and free speech will never be the same.

SIGN THE PETITION. RIGHT NOW.

This doesn't just affect Americans. Even citizens of other countries will be equally affected. Do the right thing. Today.

Doesn't this give insane power to big businesses? I don't know much about business, but doesn't this create a Monopoly effect?

[Thesupermadman]

@iLegendave That's... what I did. And it was much better. That's what I said.

If SOPA Passes. I can't sing Summertime by NKOTB. I'll go jail. (if, I have a video.) I hope this bill doesn't pass. Boo on the government.

[Equinox226]

If SOPA passes well you can kiss all those famous video game youtubers goodbye

@1tirth But they sure as hell are gonna try...

[Puppyzwoof]

@Spaceguy5 Not to mention their need for tons of money.

[1tirth]

if the bill passes, the people who oppose it should all share copyright info. and make protesting videos... they can't send us all to jail!

[Spaceguy5]

@bitstarter Do you really think the Occupy movement is what started this bill?... |=..... The entertainment industry has been trying to find ways to shut down the internet for yeeeaarrs. And why does it matter so much to them? The internet is competition for movie theaters and DVD sales, among other things.
