    keep the government from controlling the internet!

    there at it again, they tried to do it last year and failed. fill this out and let your Representative's know that this bill should not pass!

    I just emailed Congress to urge them to oppose the Internet Blacklist Legislation, known as the PROTECT-IP Act in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House. This legislation seeks to give the executive branch power to conduct slash-and-burn campaigns against websites that allegedly host – or even link to – content that infringes on intellectual property rights. That would “disappear” whole domain names, fundamentally undermining Internet security, and/or choke off their financial support. The Internet Blacklist Legislation puts more sites than ever at risk, effectively upending the DMCA safe harbors that have been crucial to the growth of Internet innovation and creativity.

    Sadly, these short-sighted and dangerous bills won’t do much to stop online infringement – but they will jeopardize our ability to speak and read online with the kind of freedom we cherish in the offline world. Deep-pocketed Hollywood lobbyists are aggressively pushing to control...

    what happens to Canadians? and the rest of the world? i dont get how the US can put laws on something worldwide.

    Also, I heard that hand-written letters are taken more seriously than emails.

    I'm guessing this would only apply to servers in the US.
