I make a living artistically, I post images that I take to make a living on the internet and I run the risk every time that someone may “steal” that image, share that image, take that image as their own, print it without paying me. I would rather take that risk a million times then suffer an internet where money buys silence and the strong can stifle the weak. contact your representative and say NO to SOPA and PIPA.
“When ideas are blocked, information deleted, conversations stifled and people constrained in their choices, the Internet is diminished for all of us.. There isn’t an economic Internet and a social Internet and a political Internet. There’s just the Internet.†– Hilary Clinton on SOPA
