SOPA
Being a Brit, there's not much I can really do about SOPA this side of the atlantic, but I've been keeping up with it, and here are my thoughts.
- The only reason Obama froze it is because it would nuke his chances for re-election. Once (if) he is relected, keep an eye on the bill, it might come back.
- If it does pass, then, internet companies of the world? Move to the EU. We have great net freedom laws and could really use the influx of glorious cash you will bring with you.
- If it doesn't pass, prepare for a toned down version that does about the same thing to be propsed. Our govt did the same last year.
-Also, kudos on google and wikipedia. The US coverage of SOPA has been non-existant.
