If you’ve not yet encountered the terms SOPA and PIPA they refer to legislation pending before congress that would affect how we access information on the internet.

You’ll find several of your favorite sites blackout today in protest.

Rather than completely blacking out I’m providing a link to a post by Google’s Chief Legal Officer, David Drummond. Not only because I think it is an excellent post, but also because I played football with him at Santa Clara University. He’s a really good guy!

Take a minute, read Dave’s post, and decide what action you might be able to take to let your representative know that while you don’t support illegal web activity neither do you support censorship as the solution.

What would life be like with a censored web?
