This blog deprecates the US Congress considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open internet. The SOPA bill is so badly written, so over broad, that it's going to impact on all kinds of innocent websites, and it certainly doesn’t have anything to do with stopping piracy. Unless there is a strong protest, SOPA won’t go away, nor will its terrible twin PIPA.
SOPA and PIPA are just indicators of a much broader global problem. Governments all around the world are trying to infringe on the internet by pushing through control legislations, nominally intended to fight online piracy, but in effect to regulate the internet for their own purposes and damage online freedoms. If you think this is wrong, as we do, then you need to make yourself heard—NOW, before it’s too late.
