Stop SOPA

As you might have recently heard, SOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act, a United States bill introduced by U.S. Representative Lamar S. Smith to stop online piracy, interdict search engines to link to other sites, unauthorized streaming and a lot more of senseless, unreasonable measures.

And although Blog.com defends the right to copyrighted intellectual content, we do feel, as most of web services, that some measures might cause countless damage to people’s right to share information (of any kind).

So, if you wish to support or start supporting the STOP SOPA movement, you can go to Settings > General on your blog’s dashboard and choose to display a ribbon at the top right corner of your blog, just like we’re doing right now.

Also worth checking out!

    I wonder to ask something about SOPA, what if the content include an any porn material? Is it the campaign anti-SOPA [Stop Censorship] include also the main of “Stop Censor Any Porn Material” ?

    Sincerely, you blog.com user at http://abumalika.blog.com

    SOPA, PIPA,,, You have to go for the 1 % of the 1 % who don’t even appear in media, they’re always behind the scenes.

    A massive and accelerating dismantling of the middle class, and capitalism in general, is carried out to be followed by complete destruction of the socio-political model, transforming it into a dictatorship. SOPA should be the least of your worries.

    Remember the day Wikipedia blacked out it’s site in protest to S.O.P.A.? Imagine if Facebook, YouTube, Paypal, Ebay and a couple of other big players blacked their sites out as well! I would suspect the results would be crippling to our nation, and world!

    They should totally stop it, but I got to wonder awhile ago when I was trying to watch some shows like Anime I couldn’t get into any of the websites I could before. But now I can, but I don’t think the gov will ever be able to put it in action.

      i agree. even during the time of sopa blackout strike before last january 18, i kept tinkering with my dashboard to join the protest. the impact of not being able to edit the html/css part of my blog was very disappointing and only managed to change my blog name and made it the whole blog private. it’s late to get this feature out now.
