Today, websites across the Internet are going black in protest against a bill in Congress up for vote on January 24th called Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The intention of this bill is to stop piracy, but the fallout could literally shut down thousands of legitimate websites on the whim of a government official. It is a dangerous bill that gives government too much power, and the backers opportunities to shut down the competition. It is harmful to all indie authors, musicians, and filmmakers. Please call your Congressman today and ask them to vote NO to SOPA. Twitter hashtag #stopsopa
