The ?Stop Online Piracy Act? (SOPA) had looked set for a quick and quiet passing through the House after it was introduced late last month. A string of Democrats and Republicans, and various big-media affiliated interest groups had lined up behind it, while the internet had mostly stayed on the sidelines. But a major outcry this week -- and especially today -- could change that. The bill, which has been presented by its supporters as a bipartisan effort to punish "rogue" infringing sites, is now being questioned by members of both parties for the potential damage it could also do to innovation. That's on top of a concerted effort by major web companies and advocacy groups to communicate their opposition, via their own sites and an open letter to Congress yesterday (that's being run as a full-page ad in The New York Times).Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/KwEo9ahw6iI/
