SOPA Vote Postponed!

Because of an enormous protest of SOPA and PIPA, Congress has decided to postpone the vote on the Protect IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act according to CNN.com.

Just because it is postponed does not mean that it isn't still a danger to our online rights. We need to continue to make ourselves known to keep this law at bay for a long time. We need to continue to make our opinions known to the world! Until this law is completely gone*, this blog will continue, and these five children will continue to write.

Sincerely signed,
Samir A.,
Connor B.,

*This means that the harmful parts of the law (the parts that could and wold have unintended consequences) are gone. Not necessarily the attempts to rid the internet of online/overseas piracy.
