Stop SOPA/PIPA now! This blog will be affected by it!

For a couple of months now, lawmakers in the U.S. government have been trying to pass two devestating laws that will hurt the Internet forever. SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) are the two proposed bills. The harm you ask? Both will literally take away many freedoms that we love about the Internet, including shutting down multiple websites, blogs (like this one), user accounts on YouTube or Facebook, block out copyrighted material, and so much more. It violates the First Amendment which gives people less rights to say what we want online! It will not only affect people living in the United States, but also the rest of the world will soon follow this as well. Say no to this and let your voice be heard! Here is my video about it and what you can do:

We must fight against this and save the Internet!
