INTERNET GOES ON STRIKE

As a supporter of creative designers around the world, Cut&Paste is also a supporter of intellectual property rights.  However, the proposed SOPA/PIPA laws being rushed by the U.S. Congress are riddled with flaws that would result in censorship and the impedance of honest expression and business.  We call on our government to include the creative and technology industries in the discussion on how best to tackle this very complex issue and not rush such an effort.  Their voices are crucial to getting this right and preventing undue harm to honest people.

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet

Watch this video to see a brief explanation and breakdown of what the PROTECT IP / SOPA Bill proposes and it’s future affect on the internet and it’s users. In a nutshell, “PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting ‘creativity’. The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites—they just have to convince a judge that the site is ‘dedicated to copyright infringement.’”
