eKreative is agains SOPA and PIPA

As some of you know my primary knowledge and expertise is in Internationlal Business Law and International Commercial Arbitration (SJD candidate at CEU). Interpreting legal acts and rules was part of my everyday life for 8 years of bachelow, master and PHD studies. This is not to brag but simply to bring more credibility to what I am going to say:

SOPA (Stope Online Piracy Act) is a badly writte piece of proposed legislation!

eKreative joins an enormous myriad of  companies and NGOs like Free Software Foundation (FSF), Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), Mozilla, Google, Wikipedia, Open Source Initiative, WordPress, and Human Rights organizations like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, in expressing our concern with these US Congress and Senate bills:
A US Congressional vote is slated on these bills for February 2012, and many feel that it will inevitably become a mandate for formalized Internet censorship, with an impact that goes far beyond the borders of any single country.

PIPA introduces a deeply concerning degree of legal uncertainty into the internet economy, particularly for users and businesses internationally. And while SOPA is also a US bill, it has several provisions that would have serious implications for international civil and human rights which raise concerns about how the United States is approaching global Internet governance.

eKreative respects legitimate Intellectual Property rights of others, but we is concerned about the consequences of such far reaching laws, both for citizens of the US, and the global community. 

Do not be ignorants! Join the protest! Let your voice be heard. Educate yourself about these issue. You can start with these articles:
