Many sites on the internet have gone black today to draw attention to the SOPA bill (and the PIPA one, too) currently winding its way through Congress. Here, for example, is Wikipedia’s information about why they went dark.
I am a big fan of danah boyd’s article about stopping SOPA and PIPA while still focusing on piracy. As an artist, of course I want to be paid for my work. However, that does not mean that SOPA addresses my concerns in a way I can support. That difference is important, I think.
I hope you’ll take a moment to read these pieces and ruminate/take action in whatever way you choose.

The thing that really frustrates me, is that this is a small group in just one country making decisions that will impact the whole world. I have no vote in America, so the lawmakers there don’t give a stuff if I disagree with this, but if it goes through I will be affected.
