SOPA and Protect IP

January 18th, 2012

I have several websites.  I create my own content.  I shouldn’t be concerned about the internet-nanny bills that are up for vote, should I?

Yes, I should.

If I link to anything, from a product I am reviewing to a restaurant’s website, that could be considered a violation and my site could be taken down without warning.

If I have a can, jar or anything recognizable in a picture that I did not make myself, even if I am using it in the process of making food for an article or recipe, that could be considered a violation and my website could be taken down without warning.

If I mention a product by name, referencing it for a recipe or in an article, that could be considered a violation and my website could be taken down without warning.

It does not concern me.  It scares me.

I am not taking down my websites today.  I am in agreement with those who are willing to have a day of dark on the internet to make a point.  Thank you for reading this.
