[Foundation-l] How SOPA will hurt the free web and Wikipedia

[Jay Walsh]

Today the Wikimedia Foundation posted an important update on how the Stop
Online Piracy Act (SOPA) legislation being considered in DC this week
threatens an open and free web, and particularly how it threatens Wikipedia.

The post is authored by WMF's General Counsel, Geoff Brigham, and can be
found here:

We encourage everyone to broadly share this information among our volunteer
community, throughout your networks, and wherever an audience passionate
about protecting the free and open web can be found.

Thanks,
