I was talking to my father over the holidays about SOPA. He's an avid FOX news and CNN viewer. He had no idea what I was talking about. After our conversation he took it upon himself to search Google on the subject to educate himself on it. I'm from Canada so all I can do is keep an eye on this at the moment, but it goes to show you that everyone in the US need to spread the word.
- oacgnol 15y agoWhat is your father's opinion on it after educating himself? I'd be interested to know the average person's viewpoint before and after learning about SOPA.
- wrath 15y agoHis first impression was that it was a good thing since it protected right holders. I had to explain to him why SOPA was bad for the internet before he got it. Now that he gets it he's looking out for similar laws in Canada!
- orenmazor 15y agoyour dad would be the first canadian I've heard of that is an avid FOX news fan. how can you even catch fox news up here? (I dont have cable, but when I did I dont think we had the news…)
- nitrogen 15y agoHypothetically, if you're close enough to the border, you can pay for e.g. a DISH Network subscription at a US address and bring the equipment across. I'm neither Canadian nor a border patrol officer, so I can't say how common or effective this strategy would be.
