[SGVLUG] TED on SOPA and PIPA

[Braydon]

One thing the demonstration on Wednesday has done is bring these issues 
to the surface, and having more options available where copying isn't 
prohibited is advantageous.

Bringing online works offline and accessible to even those without a 
computer, or prefer not using a computer, is hugely important.

Just made a DVD cover template:

Started with designing packaging for the movie Code Rush:

Not intention to sell it at this point, just a proof-of-concept, and 
working on finding a way to get it printed on manila paper.
