This campaign is not being run by Fight for the Future (source: I'm Fight for the Future's CTO). We've signed onto effort, but this is spearheaded by Namecheap and other groups. I respect your opinion about sensationalizing, but I disagree. There are many individuals and organizations in the industry of Internet governance who supported SOPA. More and more, the ICANN is writing rules that overwhelmingly favor copyright enforcement and eschew anonymity, such as the recent rule [allowing ICANN to cancel registrations for domains that don't verify their contact details][1] After SOPA failed, the vested interests that supported it have parted it out and have been steadily chipping away at Internet freedom bit by bit. ICANN's recent rules are one example. Trans-Pacific Partnership's [restrictions on fair use][2] and expansion of copyright law is another. Rather than pass it outright, the lobbying groups that supported SOPA are passing it little by little. The copyright and government surveillance industries have demanded an end to online privacy, and now it's up to the few remaining people who give a shit to keep the Internet from being completely taken over by malicious influencers.
