Speaking of lobbyists, Congress is set to pass SOPA

The so-called “Stop On Line Piracy Act”, or “SOPA”, is a terrible idea opposed by civil libertarians, right wing bloggers and even those crazy lefties but the bill moves ever closer to passage because Hollywood, aided by our old friend Chris Dodd, wants it. The law is so over-reaching that it will criminalize almost any link to another site and enable anyone, anywhere, to shut down a website on a mere allegation of piracy. China loves the idea and so does Congress. Wonder why that is?
