SOPA and PIPA, bills under consideration in the US House and Senate, pose a grave thread to the internet. In particular, the copyright provisions could stop VASSAL in its tracks. If you value your ability to play games that you own using VASSAL, and you’re a US citizen, please consider calling or writing your representative and senators and expressing your oppositoin to SOPA (House bill) and PIPA (Senate bill) before 24 January, when Congress is scheduled to vote.

The Electronic Fronteir Foundation has a handy web form which makes it easy to email your congresspeople:
