against the two bills winding their way through congress: SOPA and
PIPA. If these bills are passed, we will have to shutdown the Club
Cafe and your club's Mail and Files area on bivio.com. Of course, the
accounting portion of the website would be spared. Some sites, like
Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, and so on, would have to shutdown completely
as they would have no way of verifying that users would not be uploading
material without authorization.
Please contact your representatives and
senators. Wikipedia is making it very easy to
do:

Just enter your zip
code, and you can then click on the contact forms for your
congresspeople.
SOPA and PIPA are regulations that would damage the US
economy worse than any legislation that has ever come before it.
People who use bivio.com are investors, which implies they are
capitalists. If you believe in capitalism, you will notify congress
that SOPA and PIPA will destroy all businesses that provide legal file
sharing (dropbox.com, yousendit.com, etc.), blogs (wordpress.com,
blogger.com, etc.), social media (twitter.com, facebook.com, google.com,
etc.), and, of course, knowledge sharing (wikipedia.com, archive.org,
etc.).
Our economy is suffering enough. Tell congress to help it,
not hurt it!
Thank you, Rob Nagler CEO & Chairman bivio
Inc.
