We are against SOPA


We have decided to join the protest against SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, which is being discussed by the American government. We do think that software piracy is a big issue, but SOPA is not here to stop it. It is basically trying to shut down any website, where users share information, just because it MIGHT contain some illegal content or link to it. It is going to destroy indie developers as well, because we heavily rely on the internet, to spread the word and get the support from the community, which is something that every indie project needs. This is a full scale censorship and denial of freedom of speech and the ones to profit from this are only the biggest companies.

Piracy is a problem that has always been here and probably always will be and SOPA won’t do anything about it, because people will find other ways. We think that Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve, is right, when saying that there is a way to minimize piracy, by offering better content and services than pirates.
