This defaulted from Mozzila
Dear friend,
I just emailed Congress to urge them to oppose the Internet Blacklist
Legislation, known as the PROTECT-IP Act in the Senate and the Stop
Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House. This legislation seeks to give
the executive branch power to conduct slash-and-burn campaigns against
websites that allegedly host – or even link to – content that
infringes on intellectual property rights. That would
“disappear†whole domain names, fundamentally undermining
Internet security, and/or choke off their financial support. The
Internet Blacklist Legislation puts more sites than ever at risk,
effectively upending the DMCA safe harbors that have been crucial to the
growth of Internet innovation and creativity.
Sadly, these short-sighted and dangerous bills won’t do much to stop
online infringement – but they will jeopardize our ability to speak
and read online with the kind of freedom we cherish in the offline
world. Deep-pocketed Hollywood lobbyists are aggressively pushing to
control and censor the open Internet, willing to sacrifice free speech
and our Internet culture in hopes of controlling how people view their
movies and products.
We need to stop this bill before it goes any further. Will you contact
your representatives in Congress and urge them to oppose the Internet
Blacklist Legislation? Visit: https://eff.org/r.C8A
