Let’s All Help Stop SOPA/PIPA

January 17th, 2012

I just wanted to do my part to show my sup­port and help save the inter­net. What’s wrong with the inter­net? You may have heard about SOPA — the Stop Online Piracy Act or its sis­ter bill in the Sen­ate, PIPA — Pro­tect IP Act, but do you really know what will hap­pen if these bills (or any sim­i­lar bills) pass? They will sti­fle free speech and inno­va­tion while mak­ing the inter­net less reli­able and less secure. In other words, they will break the internet.

We need to do every­thing we can to fight this leg­is­la­tion. Oppose SOPA/PIPA how­ever you can. Help spread the word by talking/blogging/tweeting about the issue or con­tact con­gress and let them know how you feel.

Watch this video to learn more.
