In other words, I am also an cybercitizen of the world wide web.

I believe Hollywood should not censor the World Wide Web, no matter how much money is involved. There are many things wrong with the proposed bills before the US Government. Moreover, I do not believe the Stop Online Piracy Act will be effective in ending internet piracy over the web.

I highly recommend this simple news article http://gu.com/p/34ncm by GrrlScientist.

The PROTECT Intellectual Property Act, "PIPA" and The Stop Online Piracy Act, "SOPA"

 

If you are an american, please contact your political representatives and/or write Congress. If you’re an internet user from the rest of the world, please join me in signing a petition to State Department:

Thank you for your attention with this important issue.
