"If the Supreme Court doesn’t reverse a lower court’s ruling, internet service providers (ISPs) could be forced to terminate people’s internet access based on nothing more than mere accusations of copyright infringement. This would threaten innocent users who rely on broadband for essential aspects of daily life. EFF—along with the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, and Re:Create—filed an amicus brief urging the Court to reverse the decision.
The Stakes: Turning ISPs into Copyright Police
Among other things, the Supreme Court approving the appeals court’s findings will radically change the amount of risk your ISP takes on if a customer infringes on copyright, forcing the ISP to terminate access to the internet for those users accused of copyright infringement—and everyone else who uses that internet connection."

#RationalWiki has been saved from the brink of collapse from a series of frivolous #SLAPP lawsuits. We came out of this with an out-of-court settlement requiring removal of about 60 web pages, and a reincorporation from New Mexico (weak anti-SLAPP laws) to Oregon (strong anti-SLAPP laws). Moving forward, we are looking to replace two board members who helped get us through this difficult period.
