Add the Sandia National Laboratories, part of the U.S. Department of Energy, to the list of opponents of a controversial Hollywood-backed copyright bill.
Leonard Napolitano, Sandia's director of computer sciences and information systems, warned in a letter that the legislation is "unlikely to be effective" and will "negatively impact U.S. and global cybersecurity and Internet functionality."

While Sandia's mission started with nuclear weapons research, it has expanded to include infrastructure security and cybersecurity research. Sandia is owned by the government and operated by a contractor, Sandia Corporation, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, with offices in Albuquerque, N.M., and Livermore, Calif.
