Stop American Censorship - 18th thousands of sites will go dark to protest SOPA & PIPA

On Wednesday Jan. 18th thousands of sites will go dark to protest SOPA & PIPA, two US bills racing through Congress that threaten prosperity, online security, and freedom of expression.


Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! - fightforthefuture.org/pipa

PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement."

The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.

@spazzycat28 lol, got no time to watch the whole video. anyway, my friends said more than 300+ site or company or watever agreed with this SOPA thingy :(

[spazzycat28]

@Shaqquee You're VERY wrong. Wikipedia blacked out to protest against SOPA. If SOPA passes, the whole internet will be gone, basically. Maybe you should've watched the whole video.
