  2. Don,
    Thank you for the information. This list came from a site opposing SOPA:
    http://theoriesofconspiracy.com/2011/11/list-of-major-companies-supporting-sopa.htm
    They not only oppose SOPA, but are calling for a boycott of businesses/organizations on this list. You might want to let them know as well.
    I'm removing your firm from this blog post immediately.

    Thank you again,
    David

  3. Hi, David!
    My primary concern with SOPA/PIPA is that they grant FAR too much discretionary authority with insufficient checks and balances. While I'm all for protection against Internet piracy for obvious reasons, I'm not willing to jeopardize my freedom of expression or my First Amendment rights to get it. I worry that SOPA/PIPA, as currently structured, will pave the way for the already overly-empowered to whittle away these rights.
    Just my two cents. For what it's worth, I can see the good in the bills...but for the potential bad, I simply don't think it's a good bargain.
    BTW: (Very sarcastic) Applause to Facebook for pulling the link to this post. Nice to see the Guardians of Censorship are being proactive.

  4. I've never suggested these bills are perfect, but they are a start. Neither bill suggests censorship, only copyright protection.
    And yeah, this link has now been removed from FB twice.
