Why We Oppose SOPA&PIPA and Why It’s SO Important You Take Action!
Today, on Wednesday January 18th, thousands of websites are protesting SOPA&PIPA by blacking out!
The video below explains how exactly the proposed US legislation will influence the freedom of expression in the most powerful media – the Internet.
As you have learned, SOPA won’t achieve it’s goal of stopping piracy, instead it will just ruin the basic principles of the Internet, such as free access to information. You might as well just say goodbye to every website you are entering millions times a day: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Tumblr, Ebay, etc.What other threads does enacting the SOPA bill bring?
- Blogs are likely to be shut down. Blog owners will take responsibility for everything that appears on their website, including comments. So, any copyright violation in a comment box or uploaded pictures will result in blocked access.
- We should forget about innovations! Not only will we lose websites like Facebook and DropBox, developers won’t be able to create new projects, as they will be considered as potential platforms for piracy.
- Anyone, who will upload a video, where he or she is performing a song cover without permission of recording label, can face serious legal actions.
What can you do to help stop SOPA?
- Let your voice be heard – get in touch with your State Senator and let them know how you feel! Make the call immediately!
- Spread the information. Use all the sources you can to inform anyone you know about what is going on!
- Take actions by signing the petition! If you aren’t the citizen of the USA, it will be the best way for you to become vocal about the issue.
- Be aware and stay informed about the current situation to be able to react asap!
