Going offline Wednesday, January 18, in support of the strike against SOPA. ›

SOPA. Stop Online Piracy Act.

Also, there’s the corresponding Senate, Protect IP. Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act.

I’m pretty sure I can separate myself from the internet for one day. Especially if it is in protest of a bill that threatens my experience on the internet.

I understand the premise of the bill: to prevent internet pirates from exploiting the creative work of others. I just can’t help but think it really protects the corporate interests that wish to monopolize their assets while further curtailing the artists that actually create that work.

Fuck them.
