SOPA/PIPA Explained by sock puppets
- willvarfar 15y agoI think this is unconvincing and the wrong approach. You can teach a program to recognise basket balls, faces, kiddie porn etc. You can (and Google etc do) filter that out. How do you train a program to recognise copyright infringement? What's its defining feature? Oh, it looks legit, its indistinguishable? And how do you prevent punitive malicious take-downs? Oh the bills don't really cover that bit convincingly? The moment SOPA/PIPA passes, everyone should file spurious claims against everybody else, good and bad, and so the Internet collapses.
