The internet is important.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” – Ronald Reagan
It's important to keep it free.
When governments seize control, it's just the same as a military coup. The people always lose.

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.
Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! – http://www.fightforthefuture.org/pipa
PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting “creativity”. The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites– they just have to convince a judge that the site is “dedicated to copyright infringement.”
The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.
Guys. This is seriously worth your time to take action on. Do it now!
The US government should not own the internet

About 3 weeks ago the Feds basically cancelled the Bill of Rights. They can now kidnap, torture, imprison citizens without answering to anyone.

SOPA has been pulled and PIPA has been postponed. Time to get PIPA pulled, however.
If you thought SOPA was bad, just wait Until you meet ACTA.
ACTA had move forward in Europe despite protests.
I can’t understand what I supposed to listen, I thought SOPA and PIPA has a big reason why we are experiencing a kind of hustle in our everyday’s do?
