It's back and Hollywood lobbyists have snuck it in for consideration before Congress. As it is currently written, it is broad enough that it would make illegal, and shut down, all fan based sites which host fanfiction, fan art, and fan vids. Those forms of media would no longer be allowed on the internet in the states. If you are in the states, we have a deadline of March 19 to get our protest petition enough signatures to go through the proper channels and get taken into consideration. Unfortunately,we only have half the signatures we need and a few days to get 50k more. It's time to rally the fan bases and get this thing signed (again), so they look at narrowing the definition of illegal internet piracy in this monstrosity.
It will only take a few minutes to sign the petition, it will want you to make an account, but it only requires name and email and location (not address)? Let's be heard.

I had trouble with the link and can't get a different one. If you do too, just go to the whitehouse petition page, click on open petitions, sort by popular, and you'll find stop sopa 2014 in the first page of results. Make sure to click on sopa 2014, not sopa 2013.
