Anti-SOPA/PIPA Petition

Harris Radio and Indie Sounds have never condoned online piracy, and especially illegal downloading of music.  We urge music fans to buy music and help support the musicians that create it.

That said, proposed online piracy legislation just goes to far, and should be stopped before it becomes law.  You can learn more and sign a petition here.
