Corporate supporters of Senate 968 (PIPA) and HR 3261 (SOPA) demand the ability to take down any web site (including craigslist, Wikipedia, or Google) that hurts their profits -- without prior judicial oversight or due process -- in the name of combating "online piracy."
Paul from what I understand, this law is to powerful. Someone can file a complaint, and get a site taken down. This would be done without any legal courts or verrification.
Sure, the person filing the complaint can get in trouble, but what about all the days of missed revenue when the site was down.
Go read what Craigs List has to say about Monster Cables.
Don't believe it? Monster Cable has labeled craigslist a "rogue site," earmarked for blacklisting and full-takedown under PIPA -- resale of stereo cables by CL users reduces Monster 's new cable sales
Look out garage sales -- I have cables for sale.
