Stop SOPA/PIPA

By Richard Hamilton, on January 17th, 2012

XML Press is joining the one-day Stop SOPA blackout. We will black out our site on Wednesday, January 18, 2012, in support of the effort to block the SOPA (H.R.3261 – Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (S.968 – PROTECT IP Act of 2011) bills, both of which are currently under consideration in the U.S. Congress.

For a publishing perspective on SOPA, read Colleen Taylor’s interview with Tim O’Reilly about SOPA and Tim O’Reilly’s follow-up article on Google+.

Our site will be blacked out between 8am and 8pm PST. We’re sorry for any inconvenience, but we believe that publishers need to stand together in opposition to this legislation.

“Based on real-life experience, the book is sure to resonate with [corporate communicators] and give them plenty of ideas on how to rethink and hopefully improve their current approach.”
