SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act - A Bad Idea

SSOPA - STOP the Stop Online Piracy Act You may, or may not, have heard about the Protect-IP (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) currently under consideration in Congress. If passed, one of the many things SOPA requires is that Web hosting companies police websites in order to prevent them from communicating copyrighted information on the Internet. Consequently, I would like to take this opportunity make sure you are aware of Amherst Partner's position on SOPA.

Email Scams on the Rise

Rise-in-e-mail-scams Every year around the holidays as both brick & mortar and online sales increase so does the occurrence of various online scams. I've probably received at least 2 dozen scam email messages over the past few weeks informing me about my winning free items of all sorts - all I have to do is "click here" to receive my prize. Have you ever heard the saying - if it sounds too good to be true it usually is? Well this is most certainly the case here - DON'T click on any of those links - 99.9% of the time they are scams.
