The Joomla! project joins the ranks of US and international internet and technology organizations 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: Information on H.R.3261 – Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3261/show Information on S.968 PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-s968/show A US Congressional vote is slated on these bills for this month [now delayed until February], 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.
