ATTENTION;
No posts will be made on this site till the 20th of january 2011
to protest the SOPA and PIPA.
*
It is feared that the acts in question will greatly comprimise
the freedom of the internet, a freedom too
valueble to lose.
The acts , if passed, will force countless valuable sites, even those outside the USA,
to be
shut down
if they are judged to have any content that is infringing copyright.
The act may be of use when a foregin website is streaming Hollywood movies,
but it is most undersireable of a great and important site,
like google, Wikipedia, or Yahoo,
to be shut down for a crime so trivial
as linking to a site that is judged to have been
"infringing copyright."
*
is this all worth it?
I stand in solidarity to all y fellow websites that are arranging blackouts today.
LONG LIVE THE FREE INTERNET!
