Clay Shirky's TED talk on why SOPA & PIPA are bad laws.
-- Steve opposes it because, as a Canadian, he thinks the US government should tend to its own knitting for a change and stop trying to tell the rest of us how to do ours. (Besides, their "knitting" sucks.)
PS: Washington is like a rose bush; if you don't prune it back now and then it'll choke out everything else. Please don't make us regret not
pruning it back for you over the last couple of centuries.
PPS: Note that the Wikipedia link above was, of course, not active at the time of this posting. Americans, tell your Congresscritter to stop SOPA.
