Does the acronym PIPA mean anything to you? Well, it should. It represents the PROTECT IP Act, otherwise known as the Internet Blacklist Bill. This act, currently being considered by Congress, would give the government the power to block access to sites accused of copyright infringement, through control of \u201cinformation location tools\u201d such as Google. This is a clear case of censorship, and it must be stopped. Demand Progress has already helped 24,000 letters of opposition be sent to Congress, but the more support we have, the more impact we\u2019ll have.<\/p>\n

Will you email Congress to urge them to oppose the Protect IP Act?<\/a><\/p>\n

We are facing significant opposition from corporations such as the Motion Picture Association of America, who are doing everything in their power to discredit our campaign and end our efforts. They have gone so far as to claim that we\u2019ve used fake names on our petition. They\u2019re clearly feeling threatened by the support we\u2019ve gained, which means what we\u2019re doing is working. But we can\u2019t relax now\u2014the most important fight is yet to come, as Congress decides whether or not to pass the bill.<\/p>\n

You can help by signing our petition and by contacting your senators through the links provided on our website. By emailing them directly, you\u2019ll be proving the MPAA wrong and making a stand for a free and uncensored Internet. Please help us by telling Congress that this bill is unacceptable<\/a>.<\/p>\n
