SOPA and PIPA

This isn't my usual type of blog (I do have a new one in the hopper though) and I realize that my blog is not a huge platform from which to shout.  But, everyone needs to be informed of what SOPA and PIPA mean to the freedoms of the internet and how it will affect all of us on a daily basis.

These bills will have huge, negative impacts on publicly driven websites (think Wikipedia and CraigsList, just to name a few) and stifle the creativity of so many of us who enjoy using the internet as a way to express ourselves with writings, drawings, videos, song and more.
