Stop SOPA/PIPA!

Whats going on with Inside today?  Well today, like many other websites, we are "blacking out" (or just showing this post today) our content to protest bills being proposed by the US Congress, as well as to educate others on what these proposed bills would do if passed.

The Protect IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) are proposed bills aiming to end online copyright infringement.  If they go through, US law enforcement would be given the power to shut down websites hosting or linking to copyrighted content, basically censoring the Internet.

Why does this matter to you? Inside Scooters is a website that would be effected, due to the videos with copyrighted songs that we embed daily for you guys to see. Not only that, but websites like Google, Reddit, and Facebook would be ordered to hide links to copyrighted material, or even go down completely.

Want to do something about it? Sign this petition to vote no on PIPA and SOPA hosted by Google- https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/ If you want to learn more, you can check out these links:
