Re: Lamar Smith & SOPA

This is why i am so upset that he has spearheaded SOPA
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), is a proposed law (bill) of the United States of America, to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Proposals include barring advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with allegedly infringing websites, barring search engines from linking to the sites, and requiring Internet service providers (ISP) to block access.
I would take a gamble and say that the bill has good intentions, but has terrible consequences the way it is written. I say this because i dont want to think Lamar Smith is being swayed by big entertainment lobbyists with fat pockets :(

Agree. Hopefully, they'll get the thing worked out. I'm just glad there was a huge outcry to get it on track. And my Congressman, with my upmost support on most issues, failed me here.
