Name Tom Hunter
Location Melbourne, Australia

Animation student Tom Hunter made his first stop-motion animation while in high school: a film about an orange creature named Reg who had the misfortune of losing a sock. He’s been hooked ever since. Today, he’s one year away from finishing an animation degree from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In the meantime, he’s done work for the upcoming season of Yo Gabba Gabba!, created layouts for Adventure Time, and plans some series pitches for TV networks that I can’t even mention.

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.
