I have nothing against people earning money from their books; that’s how I make my living. But look at what’s happening now. Stop Online Piracy Act (S.O.P.A) may disrupt internet. This is a REAL DANGER, not only for Americans, but for all of us, as the law – if approved – will affect the whole planet. (read more)from @mattcutts
Dear (every staffer in Congress): the internet is making SOPA/PIPA the most toxic act you may ever see. Please advise yr office accordingly.

#SOPA may be dead (for now), but the motivation to enact its laws are not. Never stop fighting for a free internet. Say no to #censorship
Lamar Smith, the chief sponsor of SOPA and the Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, said last Friday that he is pulling the bill “until there is wider agreement on a solution.”
Lamar Smith Statement on SOPA
“We need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products. The problem of online piracy is too big to ignore. American intellectual property industries provide 19 million high-paying jobs and account for more than 60% of U.S. exports.
The theft of America’s intellectual property costs the U.S. economy more than $100 billion annually and results in the loss of thousands of American jobs. Congress cannot stand by and do nothing while American innovators and job creators are under attack.
The online theft of American intellectual property is no different than the theft of products from a store. It is illegal and the law should be enforced both in the store and online.
The Committee will continue work with copyright owners, Internet companies, financial institutions to develop proposals that combat online piracy and protect America’s intellectual property.
We welcome input from all organizations and individuals who have an honest difference of opinion about how best to address this widespread problem. The Committee remains committed to finding a solution to the problem of online piracy that protects American intellectual property and innovation.”
The INTERNET WINS! But the question is, is it good to forever? Or will SOPA rise from the dead? Read some good thoughts on this from the experts. Here.
