Jan 17, 2012 Spread the word: Why #SOPA and #PIPA are so dangerous
Most of you have heard of SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, but have you also heard of PIPA, the Protect IP Act? While the SOPA brand has been damaged due to the mass negative attention it has received and the companies publicly opposing it, the PIPA bill is essentially the twin sister of SOPA and has mostly slid under the radar. The bill is scheduled for a Senate floor vote on January 24th and companies such as MAKE, all of O’Reilly Media, Wikipedia, Reddit, Boing Boing, Tucows, Twitpic, and more have pledged to go dark tomorrow to build awareness on this issue.
Don’t let your government destroy what is the fabric of the internet.
Do your part and help spread the word.
