Dear users living in the US,

"Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA." (Google)

The problem with these bills is that they are formulated so broadly that they would allow legislative censorship, and affect freedom of speech in general throughout the internet, so even in blogs or forums like ours.

Though we won't go offline with out site like Wikipedia did to show their protest, we want to demonstrate our support for the protesters and encourage all users to inform themselves on the situation and take action, for example by signing Google's petition.

Fight for your rights!
