Stop HR 3261 (SOPA) and S 968 (PIPA) Internet Blacklist Bills
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will pass – they have tremendous lobbying dollars behind them, from large corporations reportedly hoping to prop up outdated, anti-consumer business models at the expense of the very fabric of the Internet — recklessly unleashing a tsunami of take-down notices and litigation, and a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.
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.
SOPA/PIPA supporters want to block you from reaching ANY site they think is hurting their profits — without review in any court — by interrupting Internet traffic via DNS at ISPs and by censoring search engine results. Many lawmakers are prepared to give them that right.
Congress is now backpedaling on some of this anti-American nonsense, but please remind them that these bills cannot be fixed — they must be killed.
Please let your Members of Congress know you OPPOSE H.R. 3621 “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA) and S. 968 “Protect IP Act” (PIPA):

Chad Carlsen and the SobeGeeks staff have made the company a force to reckon with, we would be fools not to Partner.”
