Why SOPA and PIPA are bad ideas...


Defend our freedom to share...

 Seems as usual, I'm the last to cotton onto world happenings BUT if like me you have just crawled out from your rock, watch this TED talk by Clay Shirky. Learn about SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Addresses) and why they are bad ideas.

Shirky is an adjunct professor in New York University’s graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program, where he teaches a course named “Social Weather.” He’s the author of Here Comes Everybody, about the power of crowds, and the brand-new Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age.
