    Wednesday January 18th - Free Frag Network is Protesting SOPA

    On Wednesday January 18th Free Frag Network will be joining the protest against SOPA. We will be taking down our community forums to show everybody what the Internet will look like if SOPA passes. We are proud to join the ranks of sites who are standing up against this horrible legislation in the only way we are able.

    In the place of our forums will be information about SOPA and what you can do about this bill. This legislation threatens to destroy this community and all others like it. If you are reading this right now you NEED to take this seriously and act accordingly. This affects each and every one of us!

    Check out WTF is SOPA if you want more information about SOPA and what it means for all of us.

    Check out https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/...ction_KEY=8173 for the EFF page about the bill.

    Fortunately for us we have Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon going to great lengths to prevent this bill from passing. While this is good for the moment it won't be enough to defeat the bill entirely. PLEASE read the above and understand why so much of the internet is going to such great lengths to stop this bill from passing. Write your elected representatives and tell them how you feel about this bill.

    We can make a difference if we all participate. We need to all stand up and tell them that we will not lie down and let them take away our liberties.

    On the 18th we will do what we can to make sure this message gets out to all of FFN's users. Stand with me on that day and tell the government that we mean business.

    It's on hold, yes, but I think that's all the more reason to be loud and proud against it. Here's a link to some information on the shelving of said bill - Controversial online piracy bill shelved until 'consensus' is found - The Hill's Hillicon Valley

    EDIT: D'oh, you beat me to it.

    But TJ is right, all this basically means is they know they can't pass it right now so they are waiting for the public to forget, a majority to override the veto, or a new president. So we're still screwed, it's just gonna be a little delayed.

    The battle may be going in our favor but the war is definitely not over. We need to be vigilant to ensure this dies and stays dead.

    More $#@! like this from those in power and you have a perfect recipe for a revolution... I guarantee you that at the current rate things are going, it's only a matter of when, not if.

    FIGHT THE STUPID BILLS!
