staff: Two days ago, you guys stepped up once again to show the world just how much we care about protecting the Internet. Together, we generated more than 140,000 calls to Senators, spent more than 4,200 hours on the phone with their staffers, and blacked out 650,000 of our blogs to make our point and inspire others to get involved. And what’s more, this was on top of the 90,000 calls we sent to members of the House of Representatives a month ago. Incredible. It’s now becoming clear just how much impact our action is having. On January 18th, only 31 members of Congress opposed these bills. Just one day later, 101 members of Congress publicly stood with us in opposition. We are being heard. And as of today, it looks like both the Senate PIPA and House SOPA bills have been shelved, for the moment. It seems pretty likely that the bills won’t pass as written—a big first win. We now hope that Internet companies, the creative community and the content industry join together to innovate and devise new partnerships to combat online piracy. We’re confident there are effective ways to do this without damaging the Internet or diminishing our freedoms. You’ve made a big difference in keeping the Internet a safe and open place for creators. Thank you again.

Bijan Sabet: Hollywood has decided to go nuclear instead of embracing the web and the law
Happy New Year! OK, so I’m a little late with this posting, but over the past week or so a few of our closest friends have been receiving our (almost) annual Frederator New Year’s poster. Almost, because we don’t always get around to it in time. New Year’s because, well, I figure that everyone around the globe is starting their new year at the same time. Anyhow, like last year’s poster, this one was beautifully screen printed by the Vahalla Studios in Kansas City, Kansas. I’d heartily recommend Vahalla for their printing quality and the quality service we’ve always received by principal Dan Padavic. When the dust settles we might have a few left over (we’ve still got some from last year). If we do, I’ll put them up on Etsy for you all.

One of my great heroes in animation (and big FOF) is Marv Newland, so it made me really happy to hear about his new tumblr, MarvCards* (you can follow it here). We worked with Marv on his postcard film Postalolio, and you know we’re partial to postcards (here’s Marv’s Frederator postcard from 2007’s Series 6), so it’s double fun for us to have this site in the world. Here’s a short clip from Marv festival film, Postalolio: * Via Lee Rubenstein and Eat Sleep Draw
