[ NNSquad ] Correction, Boxer/Feinstein co-sponsoring PIPA (Senate version of SOPA)


Correction, Boxer/Feinstein co-sponsoring PIPA (Senate version of SOPA)

You no doubt already figured this out. Sen. Boxer announced she is
joining the gang (including Sen. Feinstein) co-sponsoring PIPA
(Protect IP Act) on the Senate side.  PIPA is the "Senate version" of
SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) from the House side.

Six of one, half a dozen of another.  Rotten Eggs Legislation either way.

My fingers keep wanting to type "Stop Online PRIVACY Act" for SOPA.
Seems like that might have been a more honest name for the legislation
in the first place.  But hey, neither of these legislative efforts
have much to do with honesty in terms of their impacts!
