What are you waiting for?
The goverment and certain big businesses are trying to pass legislature known as H.R. 3261 "Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA) and S. 968 "Protect IP Act" (PIPA). this legislature will destroy our internet and sites like craigslist and facebook...
Congress needs to hear from you, or these dangerous bills will pass - they have tremendous lobbying dollars behind them, from large corporations reportedly hoping to prop up outdated, anti-consumer business models at the expense of the very fabric of the Internet -- recklessly unleashing a tsunami of take-down notices and litigation, and a Pandora's jar of "chilling effects" and other unintended (or perhaps intended?) consequences.
For example, Monster Cable considers craigslist a "rogue site" for takedown under PIPA - they want to prevent YOU from selling YOUR unwanted cables so they can increase sales! Many other "rights holders" want to do the same. Boycott anyone? There is an app for that.
Corporations pushing SOPA/PIPA want the ability to block you from reaching any web site they feel might be hurting their profits -- without due process of any kind, or review in any court -- by literally interrupting all Internet traffic to those sites via DNS at the ISPs and by censoring search engine results. Incredibly, many lawmakers want to give them that right.
There is still time to be heard. Congress is starting to backpedal on this job-killing, anti-American nonsense, and the Obama administration has weighed in againstthese bills as drafted, but SOPA/PIPA cannot be fixed or revised -- they must be killed altogether.
NOT ONLY will these acts destroy the internet as we know it,BUT they will ALSO take away ANY AND ALL PRIVACY that we have on the net.The suppoters of these acts will have free reign over our accounts and can shut down anyone they deem as a "threat" or as competition to their businesses.The internet will become a COMMUNIST TOOL to control the American people. WE MUST PUT A STOP TO THIS IMMEDIATELY,FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FREEDOM AND BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS!! SIGN THIS AND PASS IT TO YOUR FRIENDS AND STAND UP FOR OUR FREEDOM AND OUR INTERNET RIGHTS!!
