Matti,<br><br>You don't mention the passages in SOPA that define you as 'dedicated to the theft of US property' if you "Take Deliberate actions to avoid confirming a high probability that [the site] violates [any of various laws and section of this code]".<br>
<br>You could be legally defined as a pirate if you, for example, put a password on your computer or encrypt a file.<br><br>Ugh. Super badly written legislation.<br><br>Matt<br><br clear="all">---------<br><b style="color:rgb(51,102,102)">Matthew Campbell</b><br>

Indeed, It is certainly FAR from over. DMCA was not enough for<br>
many, even though there are significant over reaches due to that<br>
law <br>

Like storm waves hitting a beach, expect attempts at erosion of<br>
the current state to continue.<br>
<br>
The read is rather disturbing, including border searches<br>
"Newspapers reported that the draft agreement would empower security officials at airports and other international borders to conduct random ex officio searches of laptops, MP3 players, and cellular phones for illegally downloaded or "ripped" music and movies. Travellers with infringing content would be subject to a fine and may have their devices confiscated or destroyed"<br>
<br>
( especially considering the recent Colo. Judge stating that<br>
users can be forced to decrypt their laptops.. )<br>

So, the question will become once one of these waves<br>
successfully passes, WHEN will a linux/opensource project<br>
get a legal take down upon a claim of patent infringement??<br>

Just watched this. It's a great/short talk that gives a really good short history on how we got to SOPA/PIPA. Thanks for sharing, Matti!<br>
