And CISPA would provide a victory for content owners who were shell-shocked by the unprecedented outpouring of activism in opposition to SOPA and Internet censorship.
The House of Representatives is planning to take up CISPA later this month. Click here to ask your lawmakers to oppose it.
SOPA was pushed as a remedy to the supposed economic threat of online piracy -- but economic fear-mongering didn't quite do the trick.
So those concerned about copyright are engaging in sleight of hand, appending their legislation to a bill that most Americans will assume is about keeping them safe from bad guys.
This so-called cyber security bill aims to prevent theft of "government information" and "intellectual property" and could let ISPs block your access to websites -- or the whole Internet.
Don't let them push this back-door SOPA. Click here to demand that your lawmakers oppose CISPA.
CISPA also encourages companies to share information about you with the government and other corporations.
That data could then be used for just about anything -- from prosecuting crimes to ad placements.
And perhaps worst of all, CISPA supercedes all other online privacy protections.
Please click here to urge your lawmakers to oppose CISPA when it comes up for a vote this month.
Thanks for fighting for the Internet.

Making this a repost, since the websites with the news are being circulated around too. Google shows this is the only petition so far. Thank you everyone! This action could create huge monopolies of internet companies who can afford to police their users. Eliminating all smaller ISP's. And forcing the large internet service providers to raise prices to cover the new expense.

Pi Day makes me think of two things:
and
...and clearly the collision of the two fandoms best expressed here: SuperDaisies.
In answer to the writer's block: 3.14159. At some point I knew more of it, but I only have six digits now. Sadness.
Also, Confession: I have already failed more than once at Blackout in March. John Carter and Gone so far... and I'm totally going to see 21 Jump Street and The Hunger Games. Oh... also I plan to buy the Starkid Space Tour album once it's on Amazon. Please tell me that someone else is failing so I don't feel so bad.

ACTA in a Nutshell –
What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.
Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”
What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

Hi guys!
Sadly, fileserve started removing links this morning.
There is A LOT that is gone. I will not be reuploading anything. I am downloading as much as I can to my hard drives right now to try and save anything that is not already lost.
I will be deleting all the remaining links of my own volition as soon as I have what I want. I hope that you'll understand. Please take what you can while you can. I'm guessing by tomorrow morning everything will be gone.

My roommate and I saw these awesome snowflakes and had to replicate them. THEN, we had a wonderful, awful idea!
