The link basically explains it all, but for those of you with unhealthy amounts of laziness, I'll tl;dr this:

Senate bill "PROTECT-IP" has the overwhelming potential to shut down YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc.

There's also a video you can watch, but it's over 26 minutes long. Reading the EFF article would be faster.

Go here to view and sign the petition form, and also to share this on Twitter and/or Facebook.

This bill is ridiculous, the amount of people who would become a felon because of it is immense.

Hell, it's even possible Youtube could be shut down because of it, even Twitter, Facebook, etc.

If this gets passed we must occupy the lobby at capital hill.
