Both my US Senators as well as my Congressional rep have been against SOPA/PIPA from day one, as well as the two Congressfolk both north and south of my district. It's effing Silicon Valley, folks. If California's senators had been Republicans, it would be an entirely different story.
I have nothing to be worried about. All the content on my journal and web site is my own, or is there with permission of the copyright holder, or is in the public domain. Everything I cross-post on FB falls firmly under the fair use clause, and/or had been placed in the public domain by the creators.
I don't steal content via file sharing sites. There is no noble reason behind this, I mostly don't think there is anything out there worth waiting for days to download.
For those of you who live in the US and are unfortunate enough to be represented by proponents of these bills, email them, phone them, snailmail them and let them know you contribute to the campaigns of candidates who oppose them and the bills.
