If you used the Internet this past Wednesday, you know about the widespread web protest [1]against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). CEI has long stood in opposition to these anti-piracy bills, which, while well-intentioned, would harm security, innovation, and freedom on the Internet. On Thursday, CEI Associate Director of Technology Studies Ryan Radia moderated a panel discussion [2] on the bills’ flaws. Radia also appeared on ABC 7 News to discuss SOPA. Watch his interview here [3].
