Internet Person
Pleading ALL Internet people to help FIGHT and spread the word about the PIPA and SOPA Acts.
If you're American, please urge your Congress to vote NO.
1. Get Informed! PIPA Act Wikipedia / SOPA Act Wikipedia
Here's some blog posts from Mozilla (Firefox) where you can read about the joint letter they sent to Congress along with AOL, eBay, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo!, and Zynga. Wikipedia is also among the many sites that oppose this bill. For the lulz, GoDaddy.com faces boycott over SOPA support.
2. Get Involved!
FightForTheFuture.org (¡¡Colbert-Sopa!! Ty Joe Tall)
3. ???
4. PROFIT.
If you read this blog post and didn't do anything, well that's just super fucked up.
List of Companies Supporting SOPA
40+ Internet Companies Against SOPA
Cliffs: SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) essentially allows ISPs to block entire domains because a piece of hosted content infringes copyright. As the bill approaches deliberation in House of Representatives next month, a steady stream of Internet companies have taken anti-SOPA stands.
Update: crazy. https://torrentfreak.com/us-threatened-to-blacklist-spain-for-not-implementing-site-blocking-law-120105/
