Three things the SOPA proposed bill is showing us

1. Our current representatives fundamentally don’t understand or care about technology and the Internet, hence the need for a new generation of tech savvy legislators.

2. Rather than providing innovative solutions and a better experiences for consuming content, the corporations lobbying for this legislation are moving us backwards. I guess they have not learned from lesson of iTunes. How
about allowing all your content to be bought and consumed on any device in an easy and simple way as a start?


3. The Obama administration is showing some leadership here, but the possibility of setting our civilization on a backward trend actually exists. Regular citizens still have to fight for their rights as the government can’t stand for the regular man or woman.
