While we should be going dark today to protest the wrong-headed and detrimental "Stop Online Piracy Act", we're not sure our tiny slice of internet readership would draw enough attention. Although the legislation is U.S.-based and is currently in the process of making its way through congress, it has significant repercussions for the internet, globally. If the bill passes in its current form, sites that rely on user-generated content like Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, (and potentially even good ol' Midnight Poutine) could be held liable if infringing content is found on their sites. Although we spend most of today's podcast talking about Igloofest and other great shows happening around town, we wanted to give a shout out to sites that are raising awareness about SOPA.
