Jan. 17th, 2012 07:19 amThe following websites will be going dark tomorrow in protest of SOPA (that is, if the script works):
-Inhuman
-Inhuman mirror on smackjeeves.com
-War Buddies mirror on smackjeeves.com
-12 Hours on smackjeeves.com
-my tumblr
-Sabrous
-demon-sushi.com
-"FF7 House"
-FoFFos
-The Mewtwo Museum
-deathsticks.org
-the cial infodump site
they'll all be back up after the strike ends.
for more information on the strike, including how to join it and (for americans) how to make your voice heard, visit SOPAstrike.com
if you somehow live under a rock and don't know what SOPA is, let me sum it up for you.
if you make a blog entry about how you hated the latest twilight movie?
the people who own that movie can have your website removed. no warning, no notification. bam, it's gone. entire site.
along with any site linking to it.
if you make fun of a really bad webcomic?
the owner of that webcomic can have your mockery yanked from the internet. anyone who links to your mockeries has their sites killed too! and anyone who complains about it? bam, they're gone! it's like an all-day every-day deviantart mod fest! woops, SOPA would have had me for that comment too.
if you make a fan-page for your favourite star wars character? SOPA would let george lucas kill it without so much as a sideways glance at you. and anyone linking to it gets their site destroyed as well. and i'd probably get in trouble for implying george lucas doesn't like star wars fans...
did you write a SAUCY doctor who fanfic?
SOPA lets your fanfic be removed from the internet. it lets the site that hosted your fanfic be removed. it lets anyone who linked to it have their sites removed. no more fanfiction!
did your band do a cover of a more well-known band's work?
SOPA lets that band remove your cover of their song, have your site taken down, and have the sites of any fans who've graciously promoted you taken down as well. that includes clubs you may have played at...
sound fair? fuck no, and it'd destroy the internet as we know it. SOPA also does a lot of other nasty things under the guise of "stopping piracy" online. it is very uncool and would ultimately make the internet in the USA much like the internet in China. and me? i'd disappear just for saying that...
