The worldwide internet strike against SOPA and PIPA has come to a close, but it is important not to let the cause of striking down this legislation fade away. PowerUp did not participate in the Internet blackout of January 18th, but more for lack of time invested than lack of interest. Now I have the time to modify the website and in doing so I have rerouted the main banner image link to Google’s information page about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) bills that are currently under debate in the U.S. Congress.
Obviously myself, Nathan Shields, and this website that I run, PowerUp, are opposed to SOPA and PIPA. However, I will never be bold enough to tell others what to do without first making sure they are informed about a situation or policy. So my message is not to take a stand, not immediately. My message to everyone is to become informed, and then make a choice about the best course of action to take.

It was a very impressive endeavor that should not be forgotten.
