This is a cross post from the SOPA thread (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=35798).
I would like to suggest that The Technodrome and all other fan sites go dark on January 18th, 2012 from 8a.m. to 8p.m. est in a coordinated effort to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect-IP Act (PIPA). I recommend that instead of serving up the normal websites we go dark and instead provide information on SOPA and PIPA and the harm they will cause for the internet not only in the United States but across the globe. If anyone would like any information on what they can do to help or how they can participate in the blackout day on January 18th please let me know and I would be happy to help in anyway.
Do not think for one second this will not affect you, Viacom is a supporter of these two bills, if they pass Viacom will have the power to effectively shut down ANY Ninja Turtle site they feel violates their copyright, this can and most likely will include TheTechnodrome.com (http://TheTechnodrome.com), NinjaPizza.net (http://NinjaPizza.net), GoGreenMachine.org (http://GoGreenMachine.org), MutantOoze.org (http://MutantOoze.org), TMNT-NinjaTurtles.com (http://TMNT-NinjaTurtles.com), terrible2z.com (http://terrible2z.com), and many, many, more TMNT blogs, tumblrs, and fan made websites.
