Please support xda-developers.com and other sites
XDA and other sites are asking for help in stopping The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA).
The way this will work is that copyright holders will have the ability to more easily shut down sites (with mere accusations and without due process) that *might* be in violation of copyright laws.

http://www.xda-developers.com/announ...s-back-online/

I think this is an erosion of freedom on the internet. Please do what you can to support sites like XDA in their fight to stop this.

Reddit is also in this, you can view their page here:

Yeah, there are a lot of sites that close down on 18jan. Will bit tech too?
Probably not, due to it being part of a larger company that does not want to appear supporting piracy or freedom of speech or more such nonsens.

... A shame...

Exactly how is US legislation going to stop "foreign thieves" from stealing America's intellectual property?

In other news, Wikipedia will be going dark in protest.

+rep for doing something about an issue which you feel strongly about. Even leaving a quick comment briefly stating your opinion is getting your voice heard.

My senator's already voiced support for OPEN, but my representative is still undecided. Time to get writing!
