Passage of PIPA/SOPA Could Make Steelers Blogging a Real Pain.

I really like writing about the Pittsburgh Steelers but I like to sprinkle in bits of fact here and there in my postings too.  I would really like to sprinkle bits of bacon into my postings but until science deems it possible to merge the two, you will just have to enjoy your own bacon bits while surfing the Internet.  Damn.  I like bacon…..  The facts that I use in my posts often times come from online resources because printed material does not publish in a timely enough manner.  The stupid opinions are all mine but the facts come from reliable sites.  Passage of either the PIPA or SOPA legislation would severely limit the access to information on the Internet(my opinion).  I believe big businesses are attempting to make the Internet a for profit endeavour(my opinion).  Passage of either of these pieces of legislation could make it illegal to obtain information or images from the Internet and use them in another article whether or not that site is making money.  Many, many bloggers, myself included, do not get paid for the articles we write.  We do it to let our opinions be heard and to stimulate discussion and debate.  I would gladly accept bacon as payment on account of my love of the stuff.  If you thought the Mattress Police were scary just wait until the Information Police come to town.

No Steelers post today.
