[Hermann Roesch <Hermann.Roesch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

die Amercian Library Association unterstützt den Protest von Wikipedia 
und anderen gegen die durch die Gesetzesinitiativen SOPA, PIPA usw. 
drohenden Einschränkungen der Informationsfreiheit:

> The ALA is on the record 
> <http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/01/pipa-sopa-and-open-act-quick-reference-guide/>
>  
> having taken a strong stance in /opposition /to these bills and we 
> also constructed the *PIPA, SOPA and OPEN Act Quick Reference Guide* 
> <http://www.districtdispatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ala_sopa_pipa_open1.pdf>
>  
> (pdf).  In addition, the ALA deplores any legislation that would 
> incentivize and likely increase surveillance of online activity 
> promoted by these bills.  These bills, if passed, would likely blanket 
> Internet activity with an immediate chilling effect -- on first 
> amendment free speech rights, intellectual freedom and privacy rights, 
> among others.
