A little SOPA survey

I’m curious how you will all answer this. (And not in a snobby, internet way, just genuinely curious.)

Do you know what SOPA is?

I did a little research on SOPA and PIPA, and was surprised by how little actual information was in the vast majority of the articles and videos I found. Mostly it was anti-censorship messaging and “don’t kill our internet” with mentions of piracy.

Without reading the bills themselves, I gathered that actually IS the problem. The legislation is so broad and sweeping that it could easily be abused and over-reached–limiting all of our ability to produce content because of any perceived infringement of copyright. After hearing a segment on the patent process in this country I definitely see the problem. Literally any and every idea can be argued as copyright infringement.

Okay, blah blah balah.
