The SOPA Blackout


As you may have noticed while surfing the web today, a large variety of web pages are protesting the controversial SOPA and PIPA bills currently in Congress.  If you haven't already, please take the time to contact your Senators and Representatives.  Our favorite method for doing so is Wikipedia's blackout page, which allows you to put in your ZIP code and will take you right to the correct three elected officials for your district.


If you are interested in learning more about SOPA and PIPA, CBS outlines the bills in a very readable manner at CBS.com.  The general idea is that content providers are forcing these bills through Congress that will allow sites linking to copyrighted material to be shut down without a court hearing.
