image: Stop Online Privacy Act - Protest

The US Congress, both House and Senate, are being urged by the Entertainment Industry to
pass bills that would make it easy to shut down Internet sites without a hearing or due process.

Stop Online Piracy Act won't stop piracy (a very poor term for "infringement"),
and has far more chance of disrupting the value of the Internet to us ordinary people.

Digital files are not subject to theft in the way a car or a diamond ring are.

Call your Congressman and Senators and ask them to oppose SOPA and similar bills.
Don't hand control of the Internet to the Entertainment Industry.

If you visited this home page Wednesday, January 18, 2012,
you encountered a minor irritation. This site seemed to be "dark", as if blocked by SOPA.
Site blocking would be a Real Irritation if it, or any bill like it, were implemented.
