Right now, the U.S. Con­gress is con­sid­er­ing leg­is­la­tion that could fatally dam­age the free and open inter­net. For 24 hours, to raise aware­ness, I’m are black­ing out my site.

The leg­is­la­tion is called the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), and would put me in legal jeop­ardy if I even linked to a site any­where online that had any links to copy­right infringement.

This would undo the Web, just as pro­posed in the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). That’s not a world I’m inter­ested in. If you feel the same way, visit AmericanCensorship.org for instruc­tions on con­tact­ing your Sen­a­tor. Learn more at the Elec­tronic Fron­tier Foun­da­tion.
