In Newspeak There is No Word for Freedom.

I rather suspect that the majority of our readers are US Americans. If this is indeed the case then this is of the utmost importance to you (since you're reading a website which specialises in links to lesbian fiction).

The USA Censors the Web.

Now you all know (or should do by now) that I absolutely loathe and detest piracy of books, films, TV shows. So naturally I think that stopping piracy and/or shutting down prolific piracy sites is a good thing. Yes?? Well yes... but... thin end of the wedge and all that. This bill SOPA, as you can see here, will do a lot more than simply close down high-volume piracy sites.

You still have time (just) to make your voice heard.

And if (like me) you never download books, films, games, or TV shows illegally, and you're tempted to think that it won't affect you so why should you bother. Think about that wedge. Think about Pastor Martin Niemöller. And think about the famous quote that's attributed to him.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

First they censor pirate sites.

Then they censor sites critical of the government ("Occupy" etc.) Then they censor sites campaigning for change. (NoH8. Repeal DOMA, repeal DADT, campaign for marriage equality).

Then they censor anything with positive portrayals of LGBT people. And it's bye-bye all those sites we link to, it's bye-bye to Uber Etc. And it's hello crimethink and doubleplusungood.

And with that gloomy outlook I'll head off to bed, and some rest well-earned after a day of soggy, cold, windy, digging...

Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.
