+    <h1>Blackout Against Copyright Overreach: Stop SOPA and PIPA</h1>
+<hr>
+<p>
+The Tor Project doesn't usually get involved with U.S. copyright
+debates. But SOPA and PIPA (the House's "Stop Online Piracy Act" and the
+Senate's "Protect-IP Act") go beyond enforcement of copyright. These
+copyright bills would strain the infrastructure of the Internet, on
+which many free communications -- anonymous or identified -- depend.
+Originally, the bills proposed that so-called "rogue sites" should be
+blocked through the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS). That would have
+broken DNSSEC security and shared U.S. censorship tactics with those of
+China's "great firewall."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Now, while we hear that DNS-blocking is off the table, the bills remain
+threatening to the network of intermediaries who carry online speech. Most
+critically to Tor, SOPA contained a provision forbidding "circumvention"
+of court-ordered blocking that was written broadly enough that it <a
+href="http://wendy.seltzer.org/blog/archives/2011/12/15/stopping-sopas-anti-circumvention.html">could
+apply to Tor</a> -- which helps its users to "circumvent"
+local-network censorship.  Further, both bills broaden the reach of
+intermediary liability, to hold conduits and search engines liable
+for user-supplied infringement. The private rights of action and
+"safe harbors" could force or encourage providers to censor well
+beyond the current DMCA's "notice and takedown" provision (of which <a
+href="https://www.chillingeffects.org/">Chilling Effects</a> documents
+numerous burdens and abuses).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+On January 18, we're joining <a
