User blog comment:Ridley Prime/Internet censorship bill, chat, and stuff/@comment-422853-20111206204623

It seems like SOPA was just created to draw attention away from the Protect-IP Act (PIPA), allowing it to pass as much of the focus is still on SOPA... All the more reason people should call their local senators to express their disapproval about the bill (in its current form) and stuff I guess.

Also, this is probably the best related article I've seen on the whole subject thus far.

With the US copyright industries showing terrific health as mentioned, why the hell would they need something as rash as Internet censorship to help them, hmm? Explain that Congress!
