Administrator DKT27 Posted January 17, 2012 Administrator Share Posted January 17, 2012 That didn’t take long.A few days ago the news broke that the pending Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was put on hold until consensus was reached.Although the announcement was rather vague, some news sites and blogs declared SOPA dead, or “shelved,” or erased from history.Wishful thinking, because today SOPA is back in full force.House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith just announced that the SOPA markup is expected to continue next month.“To enact legislation that protects consumers, businesses and jobs from foreign thieves who steal America’s intellectual property, we will continue to bring together industry representatives and Members to find ways to combat online piracy,” Chairman Smith said.“Due to the Republican and Democratic retreats taking place over the next two weeks, markup of the Stop Online Piracy Act is expected to resume in February.“I am committed to continuing to work with my colleagues in the House and Senate to send a bipartisan bill to the White House that saves American jobs and protects intellectual property.” :view: View: Original ArticleI think it's time people starting "dox" (ing) this Lamar Smith guy. He is the root of all the cause (after private companies ofc), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beer Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks for the update. (Note: the like goes to posting the news update, not SOPA itself). :)I think it would be epic if Obama tells Lamar Smith: "I am dismissing SOPA, because you have no credibility." Lamar Smith violated SOPA earlier this month by posting an unauthorized copyrighted image(s) on his website. According to SOPA, Lamar Smith's activities should be shutdown.I guess Lamar Smith is playing the "all-in" hand on this one. He probably figures SOPA is dying if they let it sit on the side, so why not take a final stab. Hope this way the bill gets "killed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
