Stop SOPA Blackout JournalDo you care about your rights?I care about your rights. SOPA is an infringement upon our rights. Do you want the government controlling which websites it approves the use of? Our freedoms for thought and free speech need to be protected for free internet. In protest, blackout your pages, go silent, spread the word. Petition sites you care about to do the same.

Who does SOPA effect?Everyone who uses the internet. Facebook, Twitter, social networking sites which cannot control the content posted by it's users and will be held responsible for it. This is forced censors

I am against copyright infringement and EXTREMELY against infringement of all our rights!

**Edit -- Wow, I managed to stay away from the internet for 22 hours (such a DA addict!) and just logged in to more than 500 messages, mainly for this.

I'd like to thank everyone for joining me in the protest and for the support, comments, faves and spreading my journal and avatar. I really appreciate that and unfortunately cannot reply to all. Thank you!

For all who don't know: SOPA is not the only threat.
ACTA, the "big brother" of SOPA, has made its way to the EU, after it was secretly signed by most of the participating countries (USA, Japan, Canada, ...).
Believe me, if you thought SOPA was bad, then ACTA is the worst, especially since far less people know about it.
Therefore inform yourself about it and dispread it!!! And sign at least the petitions.

Here are some links:

Or just google it, you will be frightened about what ACTA means for every internet user.

Signed, thanks for the links. I had heard of this. Was unaware as an American I were able to protest for a European law. Thanks for informing me.

This was used to show support for SOPA, now I ask to re-purpose it to help protest ACTA, basically the international version of SOPA.

NOT using it

`GillianIvy Jan 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

You are the first person to reply that they aren't using it

~paws720 Jan 19, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

I just used this a bit late. Thanks.

Using this in a belated anti-SOPA protest journal. I've said it in my post, and I'll say it again here. It's a very patriotic thing to do by posting a journal in a skin such as this one. It expresses your opinions, and stands up for the ideas America was founded on: Democracy; Power to the people.

`GillianIvy Jan 19, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks! When I was a teenager, I thought my opinions were anti-government, anti-everything. I didn't realize was I was actually VERY patriotic. I don't often share my political opinions in a public forum, mostly to my own friends and family. But I did just write an article concerning this: [link]

Thanks for your comment.
