SOPA and PIPA

I have just returned from an amazing trip in the Pirinei mountains and I am currently trying to sleep off the exhaustion and plan some new posts, including all the great photos I took over there.
But as I was planning how to share the photos, I took a break to read IFB's latest articles and this particular title made me tremble : "How will SOPA/PIPA affect you fashion blog". I had already found out about the bill, but it hadn't quite struck me until this particular article.
What made me even more angry was the fact that, when I decided to join the petition (which I encourage you to sign right here), I couldn't. Why? Well, because they did not accept my zip code. And that because I am not currently residing in the USA.
Is that fair? I don't think so. You cannot issue a law that will affect the good function of the internet, not in a society where absolutely everything is based on the internet!
So go read IFB's article here and let's turn this around.

I love my blog and I want to keep the world it belongs to intact!
