This is just outright hilarious. I mean, the guy obviously doesn’t even know the words to his own National Anthem.
So Sad…

Congress is about to pass the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) Bill. The Bill was originally introduced by House of Representatives on October 26, 2011 and aims to crack down on copyright and trademark infringement issues. Its targets include “rogue” foreign sites like torrent hub The Pirate Bay.

The internet piracy bill that is now generating opposition from some giants of the Web, including Google and Facebook, who say the proposals are far too strict and rife with unintended consequences.

With a wave of support from content creators large and small, the Stop Online Piracy Act is designed to drive copyright-infringing websites off of the Internet.

But Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Zynga, among others, say the bill’s crackdown provisions are too broad and that it could actually stifle innovation and investment on the Web.

The measure is before the House Judiciary Committee December 16th and is ultimately expected to pass. A similar bill has already cleared the Senate, which means the piracy crackdown could become law later this year.

PROTECT-IP is the latest piece of legislation aiming to chip away at your online rights in the name of protecting the entertainment industry’s business model. It’s legislation that won’t work, will give us yet more lawsuits, and will make the net worse.

Whether you lean right and hate business regulation, lean left and hate censorship, or lean neither way but hate useless legislation, PROTECT-IP is a bill everyone should oppose. I encourage you to head over to Fight For the Future and contact Congress NOW!
