STOP PIPA and SOPA and help LOLCATS!!!

Stop Censorship: Sign these petitions
Sep. 30th, 2010 07:53 pmSo I came across this the other day, and I was wondering how a law like this might affect sites like Pink Raygun, or archives of slash fan fiction (like for K/S or HP or S/H), or the Organization for Transformative Works, or fannish online communities, like the SPN newsletter, and all the hard work that goes into that.
