SOPA / PIPA - Why all the Black?
I was hoping to post this earlier but I'm still working
In order for some protection for digital intellectual properties, some in Congress are pushing legislation that Will Kill Free Speech.
I highly encourage you all look into and read below if you are not already aware of it:
SOPA and PIPA - Learn more - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To see important sites blacked out, your online speech restricted and curbed, don't do anything. |

SOPA and PIPA will do for the internet what cable did for TV...create bills. I think that we've been mined enough.

Government doesn't fix problems. It creates them, then subsidizes them.
