Thanks e1th0r for the images against SOPA.

Today an article I wrote was published in the newspaper Ciudad Caracas . In it I summarize what SOPA and PIPA are and how they would affect all of us if they are approved.

I will present three videos that explain in more detail what SOPA and PIPA are and how they will affect us if these bills are approved.
