Click here for more about SOPA and what you can do!
Wondering what the heck SOPA is? Are you confused about the proposed Internet Blacklist Legislation? Or, worse yet — never heard about it?! …and why the strike?
If so, you’re in great company, because this proposed Internet Blacklist Legislation is often referred to as the most important piece of legislation you’ve probably never heard of — until now. It’s critically important, because the future of the Internet and American Commerce is at stake. It absolutely will affect you, and how you use and/or receive benefit from the Internet.
Embedded below is one of the best videos I’ve seen on this issue, that will help you know more about this proposed legislation, the SOPA cause, and how it all affects you. Both sides are discussed and debated. I urge you to watch it, and if it resonates with you, please share it with others:

The debate segment in this vid (beginning 5:20m in) is between NBCUniversal Executive Vice President Richard Cotton and my friend Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. I think Alexis deftly and clearly states the defining feature of the challenge surrounding the mutually agreed-upon issue of online piracy. It will not be effectively addressed by piling on more legislation, and missing the mark in actuality (my interpretation/words).
