CONTENT BLOCKED UNDER AUTHORITY GRANTED BY H.R. 3261 & S.968

 

No V&V Vednesday entry, or any other postings today, in protest of the really, really stupid Protect IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bills currently under consideration in Congress.  Both bills would fail to stop actual online piracy, but could instead be used to block legitimate web sites sans any form of notice or a trial.

Alien Shores could easily be taken down under such proposed laws, for either the Music Monday or Photodump Friday posts, or just the pictures that posted occasionally to accompany other posts.  Please take a few minutes here to learn more about this dangerous legislation, and how to contact your local senator to let them know that this is NOT what you want.
