Support SOPA: Send Justin Beiber To Jail Where He Belongs

When I first heard about the online protests against PIPA, the effort had my full support.  Pipa is not as attractive as Great Britain would have you believe and I was encouraged that companies like Google,Wikipedia and WordPress would go to such lengths, blocking out their own logos even, to bring this issue to the forefront.

Attention Great Britain: Pippa is MILDLY attractive

However, after receiving a terse response to my ‘thank you’ letter to Wikipedia, I learned the protests were against legislation titled PIPA and SOPA, which would strengthen laws against online piracy.  In my mind, pirates have just as much of a right to be on the internet as anyone, and if you think about it, time spent online is time they’re not out plundering ships, so I continued to support the measure.

But then I read an interesting article in Forbes Magazine titled “Under Sopa, Justin Beiber Would Be In Jail.”

Finally, a law that would put Justin Beiber where he belongs, behind bars.

My position on the matter immediately changed.

So, although it seems counter-cultural and contrary to popular opinion, the Army of Awesome People is launching a demonstration in support of SOPA and the immediate imprisonment of Justin Beiber following its passage.
