DON'T CENSOR THE WEB! #StopSOPA

KEEP CREATIVITY FREE
Sharing, remixing and reinterpreting are fundamental elements of the creative community and what THE24CLUB  stands for. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in its current form will take away many of these liberties and effectively kill the flow of progression and creativity. Piracy is undoubtedly a big issue but SOPA in its current form is stifling and a misaligned approach to tackling this major issue. Under SOPA's current outline, the likes of blogs such as the 2F4Y Lifestyle Circus and social media platforms such as Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter will soon lose much of its interactivity and cultural relevance as sharing will enter a catastrophic decline.
We've made massive strides since the widespread adoption of the Internet, let’s continue to exercise these liberties and keep it free.
