Hello: I would hope you will join us all in a day of silence on Wednesday as
a protest against pending legislation that impacts eventually on everyone
around the world, if it isn't stopped now!

The focus is on music and web-streaming, but there is no question that the
goal is to control "content" on the Internet as we know it.
Thanks,
