Great article from "MythBusters" Adam Savage: http://www.popularmechanics.com/sci...ld-destroy-the-internet-as-we-know-it-6620300

He talks about and compares it to DMCA, which is a great example because BYC has been dealt blows by people claiming DMCA protection. Note: we gladly remove copyright material when requested... we just can't police 7,000+ posts every day!)

I already join the cause in FB, as well as sign a petition with Mozilla and a couple of other online petitions... being from PR we dont have a congressman per ce but I'll try to contact NY congressman Luis Gutierrez because he is Puertorrican. I totally agree on do all we can against these laws that only attempt against freedom of speach and against access to information.
