SOPA much?

• lostlogin 14y ago
  As a non-American I only have a passing understanding of SOPA - although I do know that it's scope would affect me here in New Zealand.

    SOPA is an example of a law with bi-partisan support that was blocked after technologists outside of the two-party system rallied to block it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_SOPA_and_PIPA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_SOPA_and_PIPA

      Ah, your comment was refuting my statement (US has a 2 party system that excludes views of small groups). Thanks, great example.

  Only stopped due to Wikipedia, Google, and other large corporations throwing their weight behind it for self-interested reasons.
