As many of you are aware, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is being debated in Washington. They have a hearing set for January 18. SOPA and the senate version, PROTECT-IP are both geared towards stopping piracy, which we here at the MixxingBowl can support...to an extent. These bills however, go too far.

Remember, all it takes is one user posting a copyrighted work for the mixxingbowl to be shut down and seized...it can even be from a spammer hitting the site before we can take action against him or her.

Please let us know what you think.   --  about 2 weeks ago
