Tomorrow you won’t be able to visit Indie Travel Podcast. For 24 hours we’ll be joining the global protest against the United State’s SOPA and PIPA legislation.

We’re not Americans, but the nature of the law they are looking to pass will have a severe impact on the entire internet. The law is pushed forward by pressure groups that don’t really understand how the internet works. I’d say that’s true of 99.99% internet users — including us. So when the world’s formost internet engineers tell us these laws will make the internet less stable and less safe for all users, we know there’s a problem.

If you are an American citizen, we encourage you to contact your political representatives. There’s an easy way to do that right here.

What is SOPA/PIPA?

Take a look at this video… then get pissed off. You have our permission.
