Rob,
 
Thank you for the update and the suggestion we contact our Congresspeople.

bivio is 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
