Don't let the government take away the few freedoms we have left!

Americans should not allow this to happen! Help do something about it!

Re: Help stop the internet censorship bill!

As a concerned Internet user and American citizen (not as a zenoss employee), I too am going support and bump this post. I think it is rather important.

Re: Help stop the internet censorship bill!

The SOPA bill was cut down but now the 'Protect IP act' threatens Internet freedom! Take 3 minutes to save the web!

Website Blocking
If SOPA or Protect IP passes, the government can order internet providers to block any site for its users' infringing posts, using the same DNS-blocking methods as China or Iran.

Risk of Jail for Ordinary Users
It becomes a felony with a potential 5 year sentence to stream a copyrighted work that would cost more than $2,500 to license, even if you are an ordinary noncommercial user. Singing a pop song on Facebook could be a felony.

Chaos for the Internet
Thousands of sites that are legal under the DMCA would face new legal threats. People trying to keep the internet more secure wouldn't be able to rely on the integrity of the DNS system.

Don't let the government take away the few freedoms we have left!
