Re: Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)
Excellent stuff. I would recommend anyone interested to read through the first link and then follow the links through to the pieces by Freakonomics.com and the gentleman from the Cato institute. Both do a good job explaining why piracy and its effects are seriously misunderstood...mostly through incorrect propaganda perpetuated by the content-industry, either in a deceptive manner or simply out of ignorance.

Most research shows that piracy has no effect on an economy as a consumer who would have spent money on content, who then downloads something for free, then has that "saved" money to spend elsewhere in the economy.
