Blackout Over – Still against SOPA

Our blackout for SOPA was short and really just facilitated a little time for me to do a quick rewrite of the social media links you see to the left. At least I hope you see them to the left. If not I wasted time trying. (Click one – you know you want to.)

So why did we darken the page today? We like many other sites on the web are against the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) that could be used against small sites and possibly even big ones by the government and large corporations that don’t like what they see. Basically censorship.

You can see lots of info on the news and you can always use Google to learn more (who did a great job on their doodle today). Our blackout was done in the style of Wikipedia’s one of my favorite resources who did a great job posting links to the various Senators and Representatives (Click here for the Raleigh list).

I hope the blackout got everyone’s attention and you will act accordingly. The more calls / emails / letters that are sent the better the chances are that SOPA will disappear and the Internet can stay a great place to live. We wouldn’t want to see the great sites, creativity and everyone’s favorite at work pass time go dark.
