Howells.

I mainly ignored the commentary and madness surrounding SOPA and PIPA, because the proposal conveyed a fundamental misunderstanding of how the Internet worked and why it exists. It was totally unrealistic and malformed that I felt it was so unlikely to be passed that it didn’t feel worth worrying about.

However, I thoroughly enjoyed this TEDSalon talk by charismatic internet Batman, Clay Shirky. The issue isn’t SOPA, it’s the potential for SOPA-like bills to keep recurring until the entertainment industry gets their way.
