Protect Freedom on the WEB: Kill Bills!

Today, January 18, is an important day for the Internet. Corporate websites, from
Google to Twitpic, along with civil society groups and individuals, have all joined
together in a common cause: to protest two American bills that could have grave
effects for global online free expression.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect-IP Act (PIPA) would both force
websites to pro-actively censor potentially copyrighted information, and could inflict
broad damage on the work of digital activists living under repressive regimes, as well
as restrict basic speech freedoms around the world [GLOBALVOICES].

Le site La Quadrature du Net est éteint aujourd'hui pour protester contre les
projets de lois SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) et PIPA (Protect-IP Act) actuellement
en discussion au Congrès des États-Unis, et contre l'accord sur la contrefaçon ACTA
(Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement), actuellement en débat au Parlement Européen.
Ces initatives sont une tentative globalisée de censure d'Internet au nom du droit
d'auteur. Elles porteront inévitablement atteinte à la liberté d'expression, à la protection
de la vie privée, à l'innovation et à la libre concurrence sur Internet.

Nous, devons appeler nos responsables politiques à s'opposer à ces textes illégitimes et dangereux.

Eko Nugroho, an Indonesian artist on Le Mur

Le M.U.R. - # 112 - Eko Nugroho - January 7/2012

Eko's Site

[TheEkonugroho] "FFR" is a collaboration project betwen DGTMB (Eko Nugroho) and Evily Candy Machine (Wedhar Riyadi).
'Fight For Rice' is the first documentary promoting merchandise-artists in Indonesia. It tells about a 'shop
project' in Yogyakarta initiated by Eko Nugroho.
The project was born to assist local artists in distributing their merchandise. Actually, it is not an individual
project, it involves several people from different backgrounds: by using their knowledge and wisdom, the
artists and the community members have created a micro-economy circuit as a strategy to overcome their
limits and survive.
