Ron Paul on SOPA and NDAA

Urgent Stop SOPA

SOPA is Unconstitutional and Would Criminalize the Internet

 

Sign the Petition and Help Stop SOPA

Sign the Petition!

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

VETO the SOPA bill and any other future bills that threaten to diminish the free flow of information

“the more freely information flows; the stronger that society becomes” President Obama

By allowing free conversation it is so easy to drop a link

It would be ridiculous for an ISP to block the entire whitehouse.gov domain on court order because a single user posted a link. It is difficult for any web administrator to know which links to copyrighted material are done with permission. This will kill the free flow of information and conversation on the internet.

SOPA is too blunt. Please veto.

Europe Takes on ACTA

We've told you in the past about the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement or ACTA and how it would pile piracy and counterfeiting fears into one piece of legislation. Protests in France, Poland, and Lithuania are the people's way of saying no to elements of the agreement, elements like forcing Internet Service Providers to crack down on its own customers, travelers having their laptops and media devices checked at the border of every country-searching for any illegal files on there. And now some governments in the EU are actually starting to pay attention to the people and they're expressing their own concerns over provisions of ACTA.
