Today SCCS is taking part in an internet-wide strike day against SOPA/PIPA by blacking out photos on the Cygnet. In case you haven’t heard, SOPA/PIPA is anti-piracy intellectual property legislation currently under consideration in Congress that has been widely condemned as internet censorship.
We stand with Wikipedia, Google, WordPress, Facebook, Reddit, and countless other web companies and online communities that care too much about the freedom and openness of the Internet to watch SOPA/PIPA pass without taking action. And you can help us! Contact your congresspeople at this site to let them know you oppose the bills:

Thank you on behalf of SCCS!

The campus will be turning off power during the evening of Thursday, 12/29/11, around 6pm EST, so SCCS will be going down. Hopefully SCCS will then be going back up once power is restored. If the servers don’t manage to reboot properly, the downtime may last a bit longer since no SCCS staff are on campus, but we’ll do our best to be back up one way or another by the end of Friday.
