I didn't like their mischaracterization of the issues: SOPA and PIPA, two almost-dead pieces of legislation that would give the U.S. government and copyright holders the authority to seek court orders against foreign websites associated with infringing intellectual property.
It's not the court orders that were the issue here - it was the entirely extrajudicial ability to shut a site down merely on a copyright holder's say-so. And not just foreign sites!
