More on SOPA

SOPA, or as the senate calls it PIPA, is the bill that will attempt to stop piracy that costs entertainment companies, publishers, pharmaceutical firms and many industry groups billions of dollars each year. It will also shut down access to overseas websites that traffic in stolen content or counterfeit goods. Internet companies have furiously opposed the legislation and have ramped up their lobbying efforts in recent months, arguing the legislation would undermine innovation and free speech rights and compromise the functioning of the Internet. Some Internet advocates have called for a boycott of any companies that support the legislation, and several popular websites, including community-edited encyclopedia Wikipedia and the social media site Reddit, have vowed to black out their sites this Wednesday in protest. You can probably call other sites' toll free numbers to see if they are for the bill or against it. How do you feel about it?
