On January 18th, 2012, thousands of sites had 'Blackout' in protest of SOPA and PIPA.
These two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. These threaten prosperity, and freedom of expression.
Although Printing Paws didn't blackout, we won't post any of our work today.
Here are some useful links to find out more about this bill:
