“We Won for now” – the message I’ve got in email today…
On January 18th, 13 million people took their time to tell Congress to protect the free speech online, stop the internet censorship bills, SOPA & PIPA. Tens of millions of people joined together to defend their freedom. I have also joint the protest along with the biggest Google, Wikipedia and many more. Websites and blogs including mine were blacked out like this:
It was the largest online protest in history. Billions around the world saw it.
Stop Online Piracy Act /SOPA/ and the Protect Intellectual Property Act /PIPA/ legislative proposals to protect copyright online were dropped by USA Congress today.
These are really good news, for photographers too. Our legislators attempts to protect our rights might have cause more harm than good and could destroy our online marketing strategies and ways to show and sell photographs…
