There has been much press about SOPA and the potentially chilling effect it will have on free expression. There is no question that the law should not be passed, and we urge all to contact their elected officials and voice their opposition. Just as important, we need to be aware that current law allows for seizure of websites without probable cause or due process, with just the say-so from the all-powerful RIAA. Please go and read about dajaz1.com which was seized by the federal government for over one year without due process or any violation. Their business was destroyed by the government’s capricious action. We must speak out today. Stop SOPA! Threat level is RED!
