Actually On-Topic: SOPA protests.

[Valerie]

I feel this deserves its own off-topic thread. Just making sure everyone is aware of it. (So if you need to use any of those sites, try and get it in within the next few hours.)

[P.S. This is T. I edited the title of this message, just this once, to reflect information Val wasn't aware of.]

Funny you should mention that. Refresh the QUILTBAG homepage if you're still seeing the unaltered logo.

The logo switch seems to have come with replacing the comic with the last one, for the record.

Went through a rough patch there, but I think it's fully functional now. Thanks for the heads-up.

From the Facebook page:

By now you might have noticed what we've done to the title of QUILTBAG today. There are similar announcements on my other sites. You've probably also seen a bit about SOPA and/or PIPA already. If not, you have the Internet to help you research them! At the moment.

I just wanted to spell out how this affects QUILTBAG directly. You may think we're simply throwing our site behind a worthy cause, and I'd like to think that's the kind of people we are. But we do have something at stake this time. QUILTBAG would be a less honest, less relevant strip if it were not able to make references to movies like THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER and songs like "Drops of Jupiter."

Those references sometimes include quotations or image clips, which we consider to fall under "fair use" as it's defined in America today. But it's difficult to get everyone to agree on what "fair use" is, especially when lobbyists are spending as much as they are in Washington to get it defined as narrowly as possible.

We're not blind to the problems of piracy. But without comprehensive copyright reform, this legislation will simply criminalize America's newest, most vital entertainment industry, at the jealous whim of a slightly older one.

If you want not only our comic, but all comics, to have a better, brighter future, share your feelings with your Congressmen today.

T, I love you. <3

It's a start.
