Tell Congress not tocensor the Internet NOW! - fightforthefuture.org/pipa
PROTECT-IPis a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and ismoving quickly through Congress. It gives the government andcorporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting"creativity". The law would let the government orcorporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judgethat the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement."
The government has already wrongly shut down sites withoutany recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video withanything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitterdo, would be considered illegal behaviour according to this bill.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill wouldcost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix thatwon't work, disrupts the Internet, stifles innovation, shuts outdiverse voices, and censors the Internet. This bill is bad forcreativity and does not protect your rights.
