ver: http://www.gnu.org/ Dear Free Software Supporter,
Today, for 24 hours, all of the FSF websites, including fsf.org, gnu.org, defectivebydesign.org, shop.fsf.org, directory.fsf.org, libreplanet.org, savannah.gnu.org, windows7sins.org and playogg.org have gone dark to raise awareness of two bills in congress – H.R.3261 "Stop Online Piracy Act" and S.968 "PROTECT IP" (use of a propaganda term like "Intellectual Property" tells us that this will be bad) – which could radically change the landscape of the Internet. These bills provide draconian mechanisms for enforcement of copyright which would restrict the essential freedoms the Free Software Foundation fights for, putting the very tools and sites used to publish and develop free software into jeopardy, as well as threatening the existence of websites with user-submitted information, including Wikipedia, reddit, web forums, and the mailing list service we provide to tens of thousands of free software developers. Please take today as a day of focus and action to learn about these destructive bills and do what you can to prevent them from becoming reality. _______________________________________________ Lugro mailing list [email protected] http://lugro.org.ar/mailman/listinfo/lugro
