olyclimber Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 January 18, 2012: Site Closed for SOPA and PIPA Awareness Today, for 24 hours, cascadeclimbers.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 cascadeclimbers. 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. make a call sign a petition Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Safe to say the protest caused a few lawmakers to remove the corporate schlong from their gobs in a hurry. Nicely done. Quote
