These two bills, now being considered in Congress, would represent a massive power grab by Washington, and would change the way the internet functions, forever. If either of these bills becomes law, the government will have wide, new powers to shut down entire websites, immediately and without hearings, trials, or anything, based on simple (or wild) accusations of piracy or intellectual property misuse. Apparently, you can even be shut down for linking to such alleged material - it doesn't have to be actually posted on your webpage.
This is NOT the way online piracy should be handled.

Educate yourself. Write your congresspersons and tell them to oppose these draconian bills. Lend your voice to the struggle. Washington needs to know enough is enough!
