CEA and Innovation Movement members,
Stand Up for Innovation, Oppose PIPA and SOPA.
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and CEA's Innovation Movement
are under a 24-hour web blackout in protest of proposed legislation –
the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives,
and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate.
The bills ostensibly go after
Internet pirates, but are so broadly worded as to implicate legitimate
businesses. If passed, they will mean more litigation and damage to the
innovation economy.
While SOPA is temporarily stalled in
the House, the Senate plans to bring PIPA for a vote next week, even
though most Americans are opposed.
Stand up for our innovation economy: contact your Senators today and tell them to say NO to PIPA!
