Are you against SOPA and PROTECT IP Act, the so-called internet blacklist
bills, but you dont know how to go about helping? Electronic Frontier
Foundation has created a toolkit for action.
.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Daryl Issa (R-CA) might have submitted an
alternative to SOPA and PROTECT IP Act called OPEN Act, but that hasnt
stopped technology, open-source and civil liberties groups from making
noise about the two controversial bills.
.
SOPA and PROTECT IP Act would essentially blacklist sites which are
thought to be publishing copyrighted material. The major force behind the
campaign was the Motion Picture Association of America, which heavily
lobbied the government to create legislation to control rogue websites
that traffic in stolen movies, TV shows, and music or even counterfeit
prescription medications and other goods.
.
Preventing online piracy is a logical reaction and one cannot blame
politicians and the MPAA for taking corrective measures; but, if SOPA and
PROTECT IP Act are passed, victories against online piracy might inflict
damage on sites such as Tor, which offers an anonymous means of
communication for activists and dissidents. Tor might well be used for
delivery of pirated content, which would allow the Department of Justice
to blacklist the site (without trial) at the ISP level or through
financial means.

Congress is debating dangerous legislation that would give the Department
of Justice unprecedented power to blacklist websites without a trial and
give Hollywood copyright holders a fast-track way to shut down a websites
financial services for alleged copyright infringement, endangering sites
like Vimeo and Etsy. Its nothing short of a bill to create a censorship
regime in the U.S., and its moving fast.
.
We need your help to stop this legislation before it can undermine
Internet security and censor the web. Ready to join EFF, Demand Progress,
Fight for the Future, Free Software Foundation, Creative Commons, CDT, the
Participatory Politics Foundation, and Public Knowledge in the fight? Here
are 12 things you can do right now to help us stop the blacklist bills.
.
Got more suggestions for ways to fight SOPA and Protect-IP? Tell us about
it through identi.ca, Twitter, Facebook, in an email to rai...@eff.org, or
add them in a comment to this thread on Reddit.
.
1.Call your Senators and Representative and tell them to oppose
Protect-IP and SOPA, respectively. Click here for some suggested talking
points. Then tell your friends about the call on social media sites.
.
2.Contact Congress through EFFs action center. Customize your letter to
explain who you are and why you are worried about this bill. If youre
outside the United States, try this petition from Fight for the Future
instead.
.
3.If you work for a tech company, approach the leadership at your company
and explain to them your concerns. Urge them to join you in speaking out.
These companies (PDF) already took a stand.
.
4.Write a blog post about the blacklist bills. Whether its a candid
explanation of why you oppose the legislation, a discussion of the effect
on human rights, or a call to filmmakers to protest the blacklist, there
are plenty of things to say about this scary legislation. Help us get the
word out by writing articles on your own blog, your school blog, or on
blogs that take guest contributors.
