\"\"<\/a>I\u2019d really like to write about HBO\u2019s Big Love<\/em>, the final season of which is now out on dvd.<\/p>\n

But we\u2019re facing a world where my ability to write about such things becomes more perilous. My linking to something relating to intellectual property could harm Patheos under this law, and so Youtube music playlists, like the one I posted yesterday<\/a>, would become a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t physically make my blog go black today. Our tech folks have too much on their hands right now. But had I been able, you would have logged on to find this blog entirely empty of content in protest.<\/p>\n

Here are a few sites that have turned the lights out in protest:<\/p>\n

Wikipedia<\/a>
\nGoogle<\/a>
\nReddit<\/a>
\nPagan Newswire Collective<\/a><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t believe in piracy, in downloading music or video illegally. But I also think that censoring the web is an even worse idea.<\/p>\n

So my protest, instead of blacking out this blog, is to simply withhold my content. I want to write the post that goes with the title above, but I\u2019m not. I have a lot to say regarding Paganism, family and the Feminine Divine, but I\u2019m not going to say it.<\/p>\n
