Just wanted to make a point of posting this here. If there is one thing that we all have in common and binds us together despite our rivalries, its our passion for racing. Kropo, I've read many explanations, but this one hit home the most, thanks for taking the time to explain why we racing fans should pay particular attention to this proposed legislation.

SOPA- PIPA is dead. Its sponsor has pulled the plug. Stay vigilant though, them Hollywood critters have a lot of pull. Im sure they will try and sneak it past in some other monstrosity of a bill.
 
SOPA-PIPA may never be defeated completely. Innovation has been America's economic engine since the industrial revolution, and b/c of the size and scope of the American media, American businessmen and the US Federal Government are terrified of putting creative intellectual property (books, movies, music, software) into the public domain. Fear creates a heinous lack of civility and intelligence within the intellectual property law, and the teleological results of intellectual property law completely overwhelm the deontological responsibility the government has to its citizens. The result of skewing intellectual property law towards creators has not been a robust economy, but a series of legal initiatives that defy belief. Disney, a company founded upon borrowing intellectual property from the public domain, are granted special intellectual property rights. Recording and software companies are permitted to bankrupt their customers with Federal fines far in excess of the punitive damages they incur from piracy. Now the federal government wants the power to censor the internet, curb free speech, and the basic right US citizens have always enjoyed--sharing media and information with one another for non-commercial purposes. To be sure, the non-existant marginal cost of duplicating digital media is definitely a challenge, but it doesn't warrant the mindless criminalization of US citizens; especially since US citizens are merely serving as the whipping boy to satiate the plutocracy's xenophobic malice towards foreign pirates who constantly avoid punitive action.



SOPA-PIPA are on the back burner, but we will not be safe until American businesses invent new ways to succeed in the modern age without lobbying Congress to shakedown its own citizens.
