I wrote my Congressman (Schiff, a SOPA cosponsor). I got a letter back making the claim that "it only creates tools that will allow the Attorney General, with an order from a Federal Judge, to take steps against foreign infringing sites."
My understanding is that even if it is possible to lawyer it this way, it isn't the intended or likely outcome, that the law creates such an onerous burden on anyone getting a non-adversarial complaint about a client that they'd be forced to shut them down or face severe penalties.
As to what to do about these bad actors, I'm not sure what the best plan is. Would huge billboards with the Congressman's picture and "Adam Schiff supports internet censorship" get the message across? What's the most effective way to communicate to constituents what's going on?
- killSOPA 15y agoMy representative is also Schiff. Did you write him an email or a physical letter? I'm considering personally delivering it to his LA office (I have a friend who works there). There doesn't seem to be much awareness about SOPA here in the Los Angeles area and it feels like this is ground zero for the whole thing. Is there anything we can do, as LA residents, to hit them where it hurts?
