We believe going dark is the principled action to take. We're in one of the greatest periods of social and business transformation since the ndustrial Revolution, a transformation driven by the open architecture of the Internet New technologies, new companies, and new business models appear every day creating benefits to society and the economy. But now, fundamental elements of that nternet architecture are under attack These legislative attacks are not motivated by clear thinking about the future of the nternet or the global economy, but instead seek to protect entrenched companies with outdated business models. Rather than adaptng and competing with new and better services, these organizations are asking Congress for cover Any forward-looking country must encourage its emerging industries, not protect its laggards. Yet, in a time when the American economy needs to catalyze domessc innovation to succeed in a hyper-competitive global marketplace, members of the United States Congress have advanced legislation that could damage the industries of the future. Over the weekend, President Obama's technology oficials told the American people that they do not support SOPA or PROTECT IP as drafted.
