In Black and White

Being avid Bloggers..
You  will be seeing this sign often  today.
What does it mean?
I took the liberty of "borrowing".. 
from one of my favorite Blogs Mad In Crafts ..
as she stated it so eloquently.  Just think, if these bills were to be passed, you nor I would NOT be able to do this!

"Today many websites are blacking out or otherwise participating in a protest against the SOPA and PIPA bills that have been introduced to Congress.

If you are unfamiliar with these bills, this video gives an accessible overview of the bills and their consequences

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo. 

Mad in Crafts would likely be affected if these bills become law.  If I am even suspected of having links that infringe on copyrighted material OR if I am found not to be “doing enough” to prevent copyright infringement, the blog could be shut down, or worse.

Do I think the internet will come crashing down if these bills go through?  Probably not.  But I am generally not a fan of giving the government more intrusive power, especially when it comes to my First Amendment rights.  Online piracy is a problem that needs to be dealt with, but these bills are not the answer. 

If you would like to contact your representative in regards to the SOPA/PIPA bills,American Censorship has a simple form to send a message urging him or her to vote against the bills."

I've done my part already..

Now is the time for you to do your part..

make a stand..

Contact your representative and let your voice be heard!!
