Today sections of the Internet are going dark to protest the proposed enactment of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) in US law. This blog supports their protest but has no illusion about going dark for a day being more than adding a lone voice to the chorus of protest.
In addition, consider economic sanction against organisations endorsing both acts. Refuse to purchase from these organisations. Explain why you are protesting against these acts and their proponents. Write to your local representatives and media. Remember the customer has a voice and a choice.
"And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people
who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
