I'd have to agree about FB.

"Right now, the focus of protecting the Internet needs to be on the Senate where Majority Leader Reid has announced his intention to try to move similar legislation [PIPA] in less than two weeks."

From their site this morning...

Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge
For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia.

... and imgr.com...

...reddit...

today we fight back.

Dear reddit,
Today, for 12 hours, reddit.com goes dark to raise awareness of two bills in congress: H.R.3261 "Stop Online Piracy Act" and S.968 "PROTECT IP", which could radically change the landscape of the Internet. These bills provide overly broad mechanisms for enforcement of copyright which would restrict innovation and threaten the existence of websites with user-submitted content, such as reddit.
Please take today as a day of focus and action to learn about these destructive bills and do what you can to prevent them from becoming reality.

Everyone be sure to call your representatives and senators and let them know your opinion on this issue! I hope that doesn't violate any forum rules, but this is too important to ignore.

Just wrote letters to both senators in North Carolina this morning. Easy to do, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and enter your zipcode. They will provide you with contact forms/twitter/Facebook links to contact.

Could you imagine the entire Camaro5.com domain being taken down because someone posts a link to the Ultimate Factories Camaro build video hosted on Vimeo!?

Please write your senators and put an end to this RIAA/MPAA funded nonsense.
