No Updates Until Thursday
No Updates until Thursday morning. Given the SOPA blackout, I’m gonna take advantage of this and finish up a couple other projects.
Happy Blackout All!
Craigslist Joining SOPA Protest Wednesday Jan 18th
FYI: As of the latest news I have, Craigslist will go black on Wednesday. I will update Tuesday night, but the links will probably not work all of Wednesday. However, I won’t blacken eWillys.
Major sites such as WordPress, Craigslist, Wikipedia, and others will be joining the blackout. I spent some time doing some research tonight, hoping to separate fact from hyperbole regarding the SOPA and PIPA legislation. Based on what I’ve read about the way the legislation has been worded, both of these bills could be seriously misused. Just look at this link to see how Senator Lamar Smith’s own website, the bill’s author, could be taken down permanently, because he has violated copyright law.
