Uphold the Constitution, stop SOPA and PIPA.
This website relies on gathering information from other sites to bring you news, information and researched opinion regarding Multiple Sclerosis including insurance information, drug information, drug trial information and other topics important to those battling Multiple Sclerosis. If SOPA and PIPA pass, I and many others may be targeted just because someone does not like what I have written about a certain drug or therapy, that’s just how badly written the bills are.
Once again, certain content providers are having a hard time with technology, as they did back in the days when the VCR first came on the scene, so instead of figuring out how to harness the new frontier, they have decided to lobby our elected officials for a law to stop our free speech. I do not support or condone piracy, but these two resolutions are not the right way to stop copyright infringement.
Go to American Censorship dot org for more information on how our elected representatives are trying to censor our freedom of speech via H.R 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act and the more dangerous senate version, Protect IP Act, number 978. The full text of HR 3261 SOPA is here and the senate version, PIPA 978 is here.
From Open Congress dot org:
Since 2007, the Participatory Politics Foundation has operated OpenCongress as a free, open-source, non-partisan Web resource for watchdogging the U.S. Congress. PIPA poses an existential threat to our public-education mission. By establishing a dangerous legal framework for net censorship in the U.S., it endangers free political speech online and the existence of sites like OpenCongress that aggregate data & links from a variety of sources.

The Participatory Politics Foundation is a founding member of the American Censorship coalition to keep the Web open and fight SOPA / PIPA: http://americancensorship.org
