It's because of SOPA attempting to be passed again.

This new law that they're trying to pass covers streaming copyrighted material, meaning that you can be CHARGED AND SENTENCED TO JAIL TIME for the following:

Making fanart
Covering songs (songs in the backgrounds of videos counts as well)
Playthroughs/walkthroughs
WRITING FANFICTION

There's a petition going around to stop SOPA again, and here's the link:

petitions. whitehouse. gov/ petition/ stop-sopa-2013/ LMzMVrQF

Just remove the spaces and PLEASE sign this petition! They have a goal of 100,000 signatures by September 21rst of this year, and right now they need about 40,000 more to reach it! So please help in the smallest way possible and STOP THIS FROM BEING PASSED.
