Stop SOPA

I know if you are reading this you have heard of SOPA. But if you have not then I will tell you what it is in a nutshell. SOPA is an act that is going through Congress. This act will censor images that are copyrighted and might even sue the person who put up the image. Now do me a favor and go to Wikipedia here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. Now wait a awhile and see what happens :P.

So a lot of sites are doing these "Blackouts" to help stop SOPA and spread awareness. Wikipedia happens to be a website doing a blackout. Now these blackouts are actually helping. I read on the New York Times website that some senators actually opposed SOPA because of these blackouts. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/19/technology/web-protests-piracy-bill-and-2-key-senators-change-course.html?_r=1 here is the link to that.

Now your wondering what can I do to help. Well google has a petition https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/ and what I want you to do is check out that link fill it out and click that button. Another thing you can do is find your representative using the Wikipedia link. You can email them and tell them how you feel about SOPA. Make sure to say you oppose it :).

Now do the right thing checkout those links and do your part in stopping SOPA.
