Tell Obama to Promise SOPA 2.0 Never Gets Written

After the historic protests in January SOPA and PIPA were ‘shelved’.

However, the Obama administration is still dedicated to strengthen copyright enforcement.

Not only through legislation, but also by supporting agreements that put the public at risk of having their Internet disconnected if they are caught pirating.

Fight For The Future is encouraging people to let the President know that this is not what they want.

“Can you believe this? After the largest online protest in history, the Obama administration is still voicing support for SOPA,” they write.

“Tell Obama to promise: “I will never advance legislation that blocks websites or disconnects Americans’ internet access.”"
