A technical examination of SOPA and PROTECT IP →

∞ 18 Jan 2012

A long read, as the kids call it, but worth it.

If you can’t be bothered, here’s the conclusion from the analysis:

It is my strong belief that both PROTECT IP and SOPA:

  1. Will not stop the piracy they are targeting
  2. Contain language that is highly ambiguous and extremely broad making them ripe for abuse, and
  3. Introduce regulation and enforce censorship on what should be a free and open internet.
