Many sites are going dark in protest of SOPA. I support their aims, but I personally don’t think going dark is the answer. As one humorist put it, it’s like hanging yourself to protest capital punishment. We oppose SOPA because we want information to continue to be freely available—so I’m not going to black out that information myself, doing SOPA’s work for it.
I am, however, going to include some thoughts and links about SOPA.
I think SOPA is terrible because while I have the highest personal investment in supporting personal intellectual property rights—being that I’m a writer and holder of many copyrights—it is a broadsword attempting to cut surgically. And while I could go on, I’d rather just link you to other sites:
An explanation of SOPA/Protect IP Act
I Am Not A Hacker (why SOPA won’t work anyway)
An open letter to Washington from Artists and Creators
Educate yourselves, enjoy my site, and lets keep the information flowing.
