Censorship is probably my least favorite thing in the world.....
Copyright is also very important to me, but I think that there are
enough actual copyright protections already provided under the law, as
your cited article suggests, September 21st, 2010 Censorship of the
Internet Takes Center Stage in "Online Infringement" Bill
Legislative Analysis by Richard Esguerra .
I'm definitely with you on this issue... I wonder what "Special
Interest" constituency Senator Patrick Leahy is trying to support (in
a likely quid pro quo understanding... bill for contributions) by
sponsoring this legislation?
