If passed, the Protect IP Act would allow the United States Government to force web site operators to remove links to websites suspected of promoting piracy and counterfeiting. If the link is not removed, the website operator can be charged with a crime. This is a clear violation of free speech that sets a dangerous precedent for future censorship of unpopular speech.

For context:

* ILLEGAL -- Linking to a website promoting a pirated movie.

* LEGAL -- Linking to a website promoting pedophilia, hate crimes, or terrorism.

This bill is currently being considered in the Senate. Let's demand that they kill it immediately.
